@ArkLaMissshopping wrote: I got the smart glasses that have a camera, voice, AI, etc. I love them! Yes this is very cool! I was also considering Meta Rayban or Rokid for the camera option but decided for the non camera ones due to battery life, how heavy they are, and how obvious they are smart glasses to others. But I must admit they are useful in many situations.

Not a distraction or creating any eye strain later on? So there are many different types of smartglasses on the market, so it really depends on which one you get.

Smartglasses - Follow up - 7 weeks ago

This is a follow up discussion to the thread from below link So I have decided to bait the bullet and got myself a pair of smart glasses, the exact model being the Even Realities G2. It does not have cameras and function more like a productivity type instead of entertainment type. And this is how I feel about the glasses This is what works: I am able to transfer some of the things from p

They had inexperienced people at CI working on this, and paid as low as possible to the ICs, so they got a smattering of participants and a smattering of results. To try and replace company employees who handled all of this (and ce

Re: Ty removals - 3 months ago

@joanna81 wrote: After reading this again, maybe some of this is the fault of CI by trying to staff these at $10 and having shoppers refuse them at that rate. You don't get consistency and quality by dropping rates every month. And as stores were getting additional displays, and pay not going up for additional work, was another swing and a miss by CI and Ty. Are they? Cos they just put a bunch

@ArkLaMissshopping wrote: Are they telling you guys why you are having to resubmit them? How do you verify your location when you do re-do them? No, it just looks like a re-consolidation. I have a spreadsheet that log every shop and pay that I do for year-end tax purposes so i can crosscheck both myself. I have not experience missing shops/pay from that consolidating listing so far.

Re: Customer Impact - Resubmit your projects! - 3 months ago

I've noticed that hey have been doing that for a while across multiple projects. Towards the end of each month they would group listings of each projects together into one giant listing and you have to resubmit it but they never email you or anything

Re: Ty removals - 4 months ago

True, at least they kind of let us know that it is ending, I've experience quite a few projects that have ended and MSC never let anyone knows unless we emailed and asked about it. I am sure something else will come along.

Re: Ty removals - 4 months ago

The way I see it is that C-Stores will not have much issue maintaining the display, or lack of the maintenance......merchandise are always zero on the back and got filled first thing it arrived, or they just never sells. The sport stores and one of the handcraft store is kind of ok too, they have someone staffing the shelf regularly, not gonna tidy it, but they are staffing the shelf and they
