Playing Card Plethora / Re: Deco, by Encarded

I thought it was a fair price and if I had the money I would have bought it as a collectors piece.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Red Monarchs confirmed, October 31st release
« on: October 30, 2013, 08:42:40 PM »
Maybe force isn't the right word. But as a collector I like to get the limited decks but I don't want a brick of anything myself, a lot if other collectors are the same way. Those limited decks are not being picked up by average joe, only by collectors and resellers who then inflate the prices in eBay. I would simply love the option to individually buy limited decks instead of being forced to buy a brick or two just to get them! And that is what I meant by force. If I want to get them I am forced to buy a brick or two even if I don't want them and this only benefits the seller and causes resellers to inflate prices!

Would you rather them sell them on their site for $60 per deck? that way you dont get anything but the deck?

I find that if I buy a deck with the intent of selling it or trading it, it sits forever. I still have a black crown and fantastique deck I want to unload. The only time I bought a brick, I pledge for it via kickstarter and still have not received my decks. pisses me off.

you would not believe how many people have the number linked to their facebook. Since you can access it via mobile most people do. Using the facebook stalking tips I mentioned in the lol board you could if you knew who you wanted to do this on get the number.

I really like the deck. I feel the joker plays to the style. Depending on the price I might pick one up.

The Conversation Parlor / Re: WalMart - Good, Bad or Ugly?
« on: October 19, 2013, 11:53:59 PM »
yea, it happen less then a week ago, I just have to wait to the stores manager is there, I have to catch him in the morning.

UPDATE: The other night manager decided last night to offer me maitnence, skip the trial period and give me the job offer. Full time, extra 50ยข, and benefits. The assistant manager tonight was actually a fellow magi and he has done shows, and did some managing for some bands back in the day, he took my card and is going to see if he hears of anything I might be able to do. So all in all great night.

So one of my higher ups recently told me since I was getting full time hours to talk to my manager and switch to full time and I could get benefits. I don't stock fast enough in his opinion so he decided to cut my hours. I know will be getting 32 per week instead of the 40 I am use to. roughly $280 less per month. :(

Wait - so someone higher up in the company says, "You're working full time, so ask your manager to switch you to full time."  Your manager responds with an excuse and a cut in your hours?  That's bullshit, pure and simple.  If your work was inadequate, why did he wait until you requested full time status to tell you - and why keep you on staff in the first place?  If I had an underperforming employee, I wouldn't cut his hours, I'd fire him, period.  He's doing this because he has orders from someone above him to keep you and the rest of your fellow drones without benefits.

WalMart - great prices, shitty policies towards its workers.

They had mentioned my performance earlier. You get 3 strikes at walmart. I have them all. I actually talked to the stores manager about the last one since I believe it was given unfairly and we have an open door policy. I am going to mention this to him as well.
