Target limiting self-checkout to 10 items or less to deter shoplifting -- (link) - budice Mar 15, 06:31 14
- I refuse to use them. Get rid of all self checkout and bring back the cashiers. - Krusty Mar 15, 06:47
- My Target has the signage up but the employee allowed me and my 20 something items, probably because there was no line (and I'm old). -- nm - zunkstump Mar 15, 06:41
- yeah the hyvee near me did that, went from you can use it for everything to 12 items, which is annoying - tRuMaN Mar 15, 06:37
- And unless they higher more cashiers to keep the lines down, I will never go "shopping" at Target again. Need a jar of salsa? Sure. - sycor Mar 15, 06:34 3
  - We just use the drive up pickup. It is insanely efficient and ready in < 2 hours. -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 06:36 2

    - we rarely go already cause you have to pay a buck to use their fucking carts (at least at 1 store here) -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 15, 06:37 3
      - Seriously? You get the money back though when you return the cart, right? -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 06:40 2
        
        Of course you do. It's the tiniest inconvenience. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 08:16

FWP: ESPN used to post all the conf tourney brackets. Now they link to the conf sites which often aren't updated. - na-Baron Mar 15, 05:48 3
- Websites for Conferences are notoriously haphazard and an afterthought outside of marketing. -- nm - budice Mar 15, 06:01 2
  - I guess ESPN got tired of paying some intern to maintain their own data store. -- nm - na-Baron Mar 15, 06:07 1
    - More of $$ conference agreement linking to the conference site as a promo tool. There's also ownership of data and orgs wanting $$$ for the data (pga tour: yahoo sports golf scoreboard links to pga tour site) -- nm* - budice Mar 15, 06:18
