I wasn’t sold on the original, everyone else was getting Delta so I decided not to, this one seems interesting though. What can I say, a late adopter over here. 1 Quote

Mark Twain Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 I feel like we need to up our game and create our own organized crime syndicate of drug addict flash mobs just to compete anymore. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/03/business/retailers-robberies-theft.html Quote In one recent case, a 70-year-old man in Atlanta paid recovering drug addicts to steal razors and health products from stores like Target, CVS and Publix and take them to his warehouse, according to court documents. The man, Robert Whitley, then sold the items online through businesses called Closeout Express and Essential Daily Discounts. He sold more than 140,000 items on Amazon’s marketplace, totaling $3.5 million, according to federal prosecutors. Quote

"Allegedly" organized. Agree with you, but depending on several factors it may take a considerable amount of time to proof. This would make a good storyline for The Wire remake / revival.

Yeah, you only get four doses of that as a child... 🥴 I don't understand people's inability to weigh the options here. I'll get as many shots as it takes. I was sore and achy for like 30 hours after my Pfizer booster (had J&J in the spring), but whatever, I'm not on a ventilator or sick for an entire week like my unvaccinated brother. Conservatives seem to want to have their cake and eat it too. Whine about literally every effect of the pandemic from inflation to shipping delays but also won't accept that the only way out of this is vaccination. Seems very 'cake or death' to me. Maybe I don't spend enough time on conspiracy forums. 4 Quote

He posted it on FB after getting his third jab. Quote

BRIX23 Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 This IS Lego related... just needed to vent for a moment. Lego set showing in stock at Kohls and Rakuten showing 10% cashback plus $10 kohls cash for every $50. Load up my cart with 4 of the sets purchase $150 gc from coupon cabin getting cashback there too. During checkout Kohls even adds in a $10 Kohls cash I have no clue where it came from... score! Get all the way to place order screen, click place order and screen refreshes to a blank kohls screen. Nothing in my order history and the set shows oos for store pickup and shipping. I mean WTH? Now I'm sitting on $150 Kohls gc and everything else looks overpriced. 🤬 Quote

exracer327 Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Got excited when I saw Gingerbread Houses at my local Target. Then I saw the shelf price: $127.99. What?! I thought, that I can't be true. So I checked it on the in-store price checker and I was right, but not in a good way - $164.99. My local Target is evil. So I went online and found it for regular price and ordered two for local pick up. Suck it Target. Quote

Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Yeah, it's really dead easy, even at the self checkout. I bought a wreath thinking they were $35 and it rang up at $68!! The cashier was helping me with a price match on another toy and made sure I'd checked the other things I had and sure enough the wreath was $35 online. I imagine the insane markup was mostly just to stop people from buying them so they would be available on the day they were advertised. Quote
