Thanks for the info. That referral rate was ridiculous. Obviously that wasn't the objective, and offshoring cashiers was also not the objective, hence why it was shut down.

Seems the amazing technology of the stores basically resorted to just having some cheap labour from India watching you shop on cameras. basically offshoring supermarket cashiers.

9 is a coin flip. Aitchison earned the 10 shirt in WXV, and I think she's done enough these two games to keep it. Maybe I'm biased, but I'd pick Jones all day long, and Heard is a great foil. Rowland is a strong bench option. I dont think any of our 9s have nailed down the shirt. packer is great wi...
