    Someone's stirring up the Bees Nest about "you" doing the work at Self-checkouts

    Only a fool will work for no pay . I'll never use a self check out unless I get at least 15 to 20 percent off for doing so. The greed of these corporations it totally out of control .

    Yeah I'm old, 74 in a couple months, but I still ride my motorcycle 400 miles up to my camp fully loaded in a day and sleep in a tent .I'll never give up what I love because of age.Everyone I knew who did kicked the bucket real quick when they stopped . You can't stop .

    shipping extra or included?

    If it is something that will cost under 20 dollars to ship I include shipping in the price of the part( flat rate box ) . If it's over 20 to ship I charge whatever it cost to ship in addition to the asking price. I don't take pay pal,I refuse to let them make money on my sales ,they are parasites .

    F-CK Paypal

    This is one of the reasons I only accept US Postal Money orders for the parts I sell. Not only do they pick both parties pockets but they open you up to other problems like what you just experienced. They are just another parasitic banking organization .
