A lot of PVC fittings are too light to set off the sensor that tells the register the item has been bagged. It’s happened several times, they don’t fix it, the person assigned to the self checkout is missing, no real registers open, and customer service has a massive line of people. I walked out and drove to lowes in

I think home depot self scan is one of those things that works great up until it doesn’t, then they’re *totally* unequipped to handle a failure.

at my Lowes they made the lumber checkout for contractors only, and they actually verify :| - well, thats how they used to do it, they closed now. Where am I supposed to get parts for my next batato gun? Can’t check out PVC parts at home depot, there’s no more lowes... and tru value is gone :(

I guess I’m old fashioned, I like just having a cashier. 

That’d be nice. The one they currently have won’t pick up super light low-cost stuff. It really just encourages people to walk out. Like, I already put a shovel into my sprinkler line, just sell me the dang fitting so I can GTFO.

Trust me I spent like 10 minutes trying and attempting to get attention from an employee. If I’d had cash I would’ve just handed 5 bucks to the customer service lady. She had a big line of people waiting to check out because nobody wanted to use the self checkout.

Buying lightweight PVC fittings in a hurry is the worst now at home depot. Nobody at the registers, the line at customer service is out the door, but the dang self checkouts insist you put nothing into the bagging area. WORST.

Oh I know, I’ve no interest in owning one at all - but if they’re going to pack it full of obtuse gadgetry they have to do *something* to teach people how to use it. Tesla’s tesla, so their demographic won’t read instructions, and the current new owner experience blows, so... putting how to’s on the screen that’s

The service centers get hammered with people that don’t know how anything works, because the delivery process at present is poo. They spend like 5 minutes teaching you how to use the car then you’re on your own. There’s a giant-ass screen in the middle of the dash, it seems it’d be easy enough to include links for

My friend worked at a service center in a higher-level position, with best numbers in the region. Randomly, a manager from another service center walked in, took him and his supervisor into a meeting and terminated them for “performance reasons”, and as long as they signed paperwork it was made clear they’d get 2

It’s just Disney disease - once they locate a marketable property they monetize it into the ground. Iron Man was great, it just feels like the newer marvel movies are there to appeal to children and dumber audiences :shrug: it’s like a burger thats all bun and no beef. It wouldn’t be so bad if they would simply

Wonder woman was great, and christian bale’s batmans. Batfleck killed it for me, I haven’t walked out on a movie in a long time but I was falling asleep anyways. Should’ve trusted my instincts - if affleck is in something it’s generally not worth watching.

All the best origin stories start with dead parents.

Probably the kardashians.

I can’t be the only one suffering “Marvel Fatigue” - there are just too many and I don’t have enough [poops] to give anymore. Marvel movies used to be a fun “turn off your brain and watch thingies happen” thing but they’re getting obnoxious.

My neighbor works for CarMax buying beat up broken cars at auctions for them to clean up, repair, and sell. The cars aren’t all all trade ins, and he implied that a very significant number come from auctions.

That animated gif has ruined my office. When I saw it I laughed so hard I farted, and now my coworker is dying of laughter because of not only the gif but the laughfart.

Thats why I think they’ll do it - it works.

I use one of these (newer version actually, but same form factor), bought it while I was one-armed for a few months after a surgery and I have to be honest, I LOVE it.

I think the whole PC master race thing is a running joke, isn’t it? I use PC because I got tired of *having* to use a controller, when I started using Steam there were very few titles available on both platforms, and I got tired of chasing platform exclusives. I’d love to play the new zelda game on a switch but it
