why is that?
What will we do here in the states? Pay more for stuff because of round ups in price? I understand the high cost of the penny being made but we could have contracted that work out to china or india and kept the cost down.
kebmo is right.. life without pennies is good. In Canada we round up or down. If it costs 12 cents, you pay a dime, but if it's 13 cents, you pay 15. Besides, it's only when you're dealing in cash.. digital is still to the penny. At a cost of almost 4 cents each to make, the penny coin doesn't really pay for it self anymore..
That's a great idea phart, have your American currency made in China.
End sarcasm.
You said that the cost will round up but you forgot about the round down. It works out in the end and it only applies to cash sales not credit cards or debit cards. They go to the penny.
speak for yourself.
I carry cash and change
I use a card for paying medical bills then pay it off in a few days, using the rewards i earn to help pay my bill lol,use their little system to my advantage.
What this no penny thing is leading to though is the cashless society that the 1 world government-liberal agenda is pushing for. All the transactions would be electronic, thus trackable, thus taxable, thus controllable. Thus eventually no free enterprise system. your kid wants to run a lemonade stand ,but has to pay for a machine to take cards and electronic means of payment, and would have to pay taxes on the small amount of money they make. All in the future, all needing nipped in the bud before it gets to far gone.
In some states and cities, it is illegal to round up a transaction to the nearest nickel or dime because doing so would run afoul of laws that are supposed to place cash customers and debit and credit card customers on an equal playing field when it comes to item costs.
A spokesman for Kwik Trip, the Midwest convenience store chain, says it has been rounding down every cash transaction to the nearest nickel. That's expected to cost the company roughly $3 million this year.
that is 1 company loosing 3 million a year because of this great idea,
I was 1 of 3 children and we were all daughters. The life lessons/skills taught should not be geared toward sons, alone. I wish I would have been taught how to change a tire and prepare my own tax returns….. although I can’t recall any specific occasions, my GUESS is my father did change a flat tire or two. As for tax preparation, that annual obligation was given to a paid accountant. I do wish my mother would have held MANDATORY informal “cooking classes” for my sisters and demand I. Sadly, I DO NOT have the knowledge, skill or raw courage to undertake the cooking of a turkey and traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner!
That's a great idea but I'm sure their lawyers would tell them that people are assumed innocent until proven guilty.
I worked in a major department store once in one of my coworkers was talking about exactly this idea and we thought it was a great one. I still do.
I enjoy scrolling through YouTube and find many videos that show police slapping handcuffs on folks who are being “detained”. Is it possible that Walmart has the right to detain folks, until police arrive, in locked cages when they/Walmart has video evidence, that the subject was observed and or caught on camera concealing merchandise or skip scanning?
Of course you're probably right but I did pick up on the two words "skip scanning".
Isn't it ironic that someone could be arrested for not doing Walmart's employees jobs properly? 😄
I wonder why they don't have brooms on the bottom of the carts so we could sweep the floors while we're shopping.
Hey, the brooms on the bottom of the shopping carts is a marvelous idea, you should trademark/copyright/patent (whatever the terminology is) your idea!
Self service checkouts, ATM’s, Ticketmaster, as well as the kiosks in McDonald’s were created for folks who want to get in and out and don’t want to wait in long lines and with that implementation, did away with a human being! Oi!
I avoid going to Walmart as much as possible. I have been to Walmart maybe four times at the most in the past twelve years.
It’s not the store; it’s the people who shop there that's keeping me out. Too many rude, malodorous, entitled, pajama-wearing trash wandering aimlessly around for my comfort.
If I need anything, I shop Walmart online. I just ordered two aloe vera plants from there online and they arrived within a couple of days. No need to go to the brick and mortar, as far as I am concerned.
I go about 3 times a week, pic up what i need and it gives me a chance to walk on a flat surface and have something to hold to, the buggy to help maintain balance. There are some weird o'z in there for sure some times. But if you don't feel safe there, just go to the automotive section first, get a can of brake clean and put it in the baby holder of the buggy and shop away, someone comes up trying some shit, just give em a shot of brake clean, they will leave you alone.
I think you and Lookatmine2 are generalizing too much about Walmart. I would classify Walmart as a “discount” store and a discount store will attract people with “discounted incomes”.
MY THEORY, because a premium paid member inquired about the possibility of that option and admin obliged. Premium paid members can be “invisible”, premium paid members can make their points “invisible” to others and premium paid members can hide their gifts.
I opt to use the invisibility feature for myself and for my points. As a premium paid member, I realty don’t see any perk to hiding my gifts and wondered whether anyone was able offer rationale on why they choose to hide their gifts.
My apologies, the term “hide” was misleading or incorrect.
There is a box at the top of my gift page that I could ✅ and by doing so, would deny other members access to viewing my gifts. In my mind, those gifts are now hidden from view of others.
I thought you meant profile page. That was made so long ago so that not only I do not remember the reason, I forgot it's there altogether. My guess would be someone did not want others to see piles of shit someone sent to them and were too frugal to destroy them. But it's possible I just made it myself same way I made possible to hide friends, favorites and comments. Just as a package of premium options to make premium more attractive.
I used to hide mine because often certain males would get upset or jealous over gifts I received or certain women would visit my page and bitch at someone for sending me a gift. I’m hardly around and points and gifts don’t mean anything to me anymore really so don’t care to hide. I honestly find it weird to looking at what comments a person has received or gifts they get, kinda nosy.
I don’t like to delete decent gifts. Not because I care if they are seen or not. I just don’t want to destroy a gift that a member ponied up points to show me they care. To all of you that did or will do….
I don’t like to delete any gift for any reason however, admittedly I have…. There’s been times that I have been short on points, didn’t want to buy points and decided to destroy a gift, sent from years ago, for the points I “needed” at that time.
As far as hiding my gifts, I have what I have and they were sent by so many different members for so many different reasons. I’m sure I decided to delete some negative gifts but there came a time that I had clarity in my thinking; why delete something that I “earned”?
Although falling thru the floor can happen this is all ai generated.there are no floor joist under the floor once it opens if you notice. I was shown some videos over the weekend of our campers rolling around flipping over and such, all Ai generated, looked real at a glance but as soon as I saw the bottom of what was supposed to be mine, it was obvious it wasn't real. Besides the fact i slept it for 2 nights and brought it home! But it was odd to see my light weight single axle camper push over a diesel pusher motorhome!
I had no idea being a jew was so difficult.
You can't tear toilet paper on certain days or wear a certain watch. sheesh how do they keep up with this stuff?

leopoldij reported 13 year SYD member, mattsjohnson18 , for deletion because after conducting a thorough audit of the member's gallery, leo found 2 pictures that matched images found on the internet.
These photos have been peacefully displayed in mattsjohnson18's gallery for quite some time as member uploaded one of those photos on October, 2015 and the other photo in October, 2014. Can you believe it? Those pictures have been proudly displayed for 7 and 8 years but leo is desperate for points!
f.y.i., this is the response I received from mattsjohnson18 before he deleted the pictures.
02,Jun,22 08:35 mattsjohnson18: I don't know where this is coming from. I don't have any pics on my wall that I didn't take myself in Asheville. I don't even know where to look for this abuse report to reject it or see their "proof". The pics of my friend have been on my wall for years.
02,Jun,22 08:45 bella!: I showed you a screen shot of the report made and I recognize that those pictures have been displayed for 7 to 8 years but the fact remains, you were reported for deletion by another member because he was able to find matches on the internet.
02,Jun,22 08:53 mattsjohnson18: I was trying to send you a photo of me with the girl in Asheville. It's never been on my wall. I suspect that someone at some point cribbed the photos from my wall and put them online. Whatever. Also I have answered some of leopoldij's polls on this site. I'm guessing he didn't like my answers. Anyway, I'm not looking to get deleted, so I guess I'll be deleting the two pictures in question.
02,Jun,22 08:53 mattsjohnson18: Thank you for the heads up, btw. I actually appreciate that.
02,Jun,22 09:00 bella!: Hold up on deleting them, please.
02,Jun,22 09:01 bella!: I'm going to go directly to admin and ask that he intervene.
02,Jun,22 09:02 mattsjohnson18: I already deleted them, sorry. But there are plenty more of her that I took personally, plus I just uploaded a new one that I've never posted before, so I guarantee you it's nowhere else on the internet.
02,Jun,22 09:04 bella!: I posted about this "bullshit" in the Forum yesterday. Sadly, many might look at this a being a 50 point bounty for having you successfully deleted.
02,Jun,22 09:05 mattsjohnson18: I appreciate any help you can lend. I'm also willing to talk with an admin; I just have no idea how to do that. I suspect someone is just messing with me for some reason, but I don't know why.
An update to leopoldij 's referral of mattsjohnson18 for deletion. mattsjohnson18 connected admin, directly, and must have provided compelling proof that he was indeed the owner of the pictures that leo reported him for AND the referral was immediately removed by admin.
Thank you, Jamie , for freezing leo's frivolous report and reaching out to mattsjohnson18.
Absolutely, continue to stand up and say NO to this bullshit!
The interesting thing about leo's referral of mattsjohnson18 was that mattsjohnson18 had a full series of pictures taken at this event yet leo, the numb nuts, was able to find matches on only TWO. Gee, is it possible that someone SNAGGED mattsjohnson18's pictures and posted them elsewhere? Not in leo's world, don't stand between leo and the 50 point bounty. Heck, Mr CountryCouple54 has said he's found their pictures on websites that he has not posted on. It happens, leo, get that through your thick head.
That's correct. Years ago pics were stolen from several girls on SYC and a whole website was started with them. Also since our return, we have accounts on UpLust and Adultism. And way back, Big9inch had found his and my pics on a Russian gay site.🤣
I found my pictures on a gay dating site that I have never been a member of. I think that was made by a past member of this site that tried to get back at me.
And that is why it makes me CRAZY when voters can't see beyond black & white when it comes to Stolen/Copyright Violation reports, especially those submitted by leo. leo puts so much effort in his referrals. Gee, I wonder who he's going to report today. eerie, meanie, money, MOE!
And Leo should have had his privilege banned from having any member deleted in the future. How many more members is he going to have deleted just so he can score some points.
All his referrals aren't bad or frivolous HOWEVER I would say 35% are. Can you imagine reporting images that have been displayed 8 years, for cryin' out loud! There should be a statute of limitations on pictures and profiles!
My concerns with many of leo's referrals are that ALL he is looking for is a match. It doesn't matter what website the match is found, he found a match. It doesn't matter that admin doesn't mind an occasional internet picture as long the posting member does not claim ownership. Furthermore, admin's guidelines for voters, that there are NO guidelines AND exhibiting common sense otherwise you should not participate are sadly overlooked!
As far as I know it is that dirty little whore under cover Angel got me all wound up over the way she vote’s and then yet started messaging me antagonizing me until she had me that mad that I did something stupid just to get her goat and then she immediately ran to admin and squealed like the pig that she is
As I recall, there were multiple Evaluation referrals made that day, 2 maybe 3, possibly more, and it was probably leo who reported all the profiles. My guess is that the referrals were for Stolen/Copyright Violation and you froze the voting stating you would contact the member and make them aware of the violation that they were being charged with. Whether AndreaAsian had wound you up or not, you did not follow through by connecting with the accused members. Yes, AndreaAsian has the knack of stirring up stuff, messaging members who didn't vote the way she wanted the vote to go and her messages tended to be insulting. She may have contacted admin OR maybe admin researched himself to see whether you followed through with what you said you were going to do, I don't know. What got you in trouble was that you did not follow through and that kinda made you look spiteful. --------------------------------------- added after 4 minutes
