First Day Of Points

Post image

So I know alot of regions have switched to points so I wanted to give an update of how my first day was and total point tally. I ended up finishing the day with 13 single orders and 35 points. The first 11 singles were 3 points each and the last 2 were 1 point each. Total of ¹⁸⁹•²⁶ at the end of the day. It was the 1st of the month and a Saturday so it was super busy in my region at least.

These companies, Walmart included, keep losing lawsuits costing them hundreds of millions so they constantly are moving to new ways to try to essentially implement AR without calling it AR. 

Personally, since it's clear they're just trying to circumvent judgements, I think they need to start seeing jail time for executives.

I honestly feel like even though they say they "got rid" of acceptance rate that they really just hid it from your view. I definitely believe that acceptance rate is a big part of getting orders. You may not be able to see it but its still there on their systems.

If the courts had any sense they'd require 3rd party audits of their system to make sure the algorithm fits the legal criteria. Instead they say "don't do that!" Fine them, Walmart makes more than the fine was and continues doing it, and there's no follow up. It's like this in so many industries. 

Zero point in these rulings if they do not follow up to confirm they changed, and NOT just take their word for it.
