Has anyone else's store started using Flock cameras to catch shoplifters yet? Where I work I know they just put up 8 cameras in the parking lot.

My meijer is always out of the things I want(Richmond Heights, Ohio) & I was wondering if anyone knew what a good time to get to the store is in order to have the most stock available.

I've gone late morning, afternoon, & evening on both weekdays & weekends with nearly the same results every time, & it's so frustrating because they don't even do rainchecks.

I mean, do I really need to be up there at 6am right when they open to guarantee stock? That's the only time I haven't tried, super early in the AM because I'm generally not an early morning person.

I've made such a mess of my life. I've made so many bad decisions. I've hurt people I love over & over again. This world is awful & full of so many disgusting, vile people who routinely get away with disgusting, vile things. They hurt babies & kids & the earth.

My heart keeps breaking & I don't know how much more I can take. I'd already be gone by now if not for my son. I've been trying to leave a world I knew I didn't belong in since I was 9 years old. I look at baby pictures of myself & I can see the pain already forming. I can see the darkness growing behind my eyes. I don't think I was ever supposed to be here.

So are we all just accepting that we will be homeless sometime in the next decade? Because I don't know anyone with enough money to survive this shit.

It's not sustainable for the price of every goddamn thing to keep going up while no one is getting enough raises to compensate for it, & there are so few jobs that are even hiring, although they all still say they are.🙄

I know I will never own a home. I know I will be driving my car until the wheels fall off(& that I'm lucky to even have a car). I know I cannot afford any kind of social life whatsoever because outings to most places & the gas to get to them costs too much.

I canceled all my streaming services so I don't even have TV now. I know if I get Cancer or break a bone I will go bankrupt trying to pay the bill. I know I will be working until I die, & I'm almost positive I will be homeless at some point.

Money can't buy happiness, sure, but it can buy all your other needs so you at least have a chance to be happy. I just want a chance...😔

I've been hearing for years that a lot of the competitions the ALDC went to were not real & often rigged to create more drama that the network wanted. Can someone explain this better for me? How were the comps fake? I remember thinking it was odd that there were so few kids on stage during awards & usually a small, scattered audience as well. But who were the other performers that came to be in a fake competition? Did TLC pay them to come? And why didn't they just go to real competitions? There are so many of them all over the country.

If I make a purchase that I earn rewards points on, then spend those rewards on another purchase, making my balance almost zero, but then need to return the original item that earned me the points in the first place, will they deduct it enough that my balance goes into the negative? Like if I had 100 points left after redeeming 1000 points, but then need to return the item, will they deduct that 100 points AND make my account balance negative 900?

I'm a cashier at a CVS in Minnesota & we occasionally see no receipt returns. We are supposed to put the value of said returns on a CVS gift card. Lately, however, I've been seeing more & more of this & I was wondering if anyone's store had a limit?

The last guy brought in $100 of items & my manager said to give it to him but like, shouldn't there be a value limit? He said he paid cash & forgot to use his CVS card so there's really no way we'd be able to find the purchase.

You have to use your driver's license to make a return without a receipt though so isn't it being tracked? I figured it would start blocking the return if you exceeded a certain value?

Does anyone have Yellowjackets S3 & 4? I think there's a fourth.
