 Misc\n   When: Thursday\, Aug 6\, 08:00 - 17:59 PDT\n   Where: LVCCW Level
  1 Hall 4 1500 (MERCH) - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n\n   The short versi
 on\n   -----------------\n\n     * All sales are USD CASH ONLY. No cards o
 f any type are accepted.\n\n     * All sales are final. There are no retur
 ns.\n\n     * You can add your selections to a list in HackerTracker\, on 
 your\n       phone. We do not hold merchandise simply because you put it o
 n\n       your list in HackerTracker – that list stays on your device. W
 e\n       aren’t aware of it until we scan the QR code during order\n   
     taking.\n\n     * We're open as many hours as we practically can be. P
 lease refer to\n       the conference schedule to see our latest hours. Th
 e published\n       hours for the merch area are an approximation: supplie
 s are\n       limited\, and when merch is sold out\, the merch area will c
 lose for\n       the year. (We intend to update this schedule to reflect t
 heir true\n       operating status\, but this is strictly best-effort.) No
 te that the\n       closing hours here are when sales must have ended. For
  example\, if\n       sales must end by 18:00\, and we estimate that it wi
 ll take 2 hours\n       to clear the queue\, doors are likely to close aro
 und 16:00.\n       Because of this dynamic nature\, we can't predict the l
 ength of the\n       line or when doors will be closed.\n\n\n   The slight
 ly longer version:\n   ----------------------------\n\n   Similar to the l
 ast few years\, HackerTracker will have artwork or\n   photos of the merch
  for you to browse before you join the line -- you\n   can decide ahead of
  time if you are interested in a product.\n   HackerTracker is also showin
 g stock status – if an item goes out of\n   stock\, that’ll be indicat
 ed in-app\; this is on a best-effort basis\,\n   and some products move fa
 st. You're able to make a wish list in Hacker\n   Tracker\, which expedite
 s the ordering process at the front of the line\n   (making everything fas
 ter and easier for everyone). If you don't want\n   to use Hacker Tracker\
 , you can have a merch goon create the order on\n   your behalf.\n\n\n   T
 entative instructions\n   ----------------------\n\n   Here’s the proces
 s\, from beginning to end:\n\n     1. Browse the products\, in-app. The li
 st of products with associated\n       artwork are expected to be publishe
 d early the morning of August\n       6.\n\n     2. When you find a produc
 t that you want to buy\, make sure that\n       you’ve selected the righ
 t variant/size\, and then tap “Add to\n       List”. Think of your lis
 t like a wish list.\n\n     3. To view your list: If you’re using iOS\, 
 tap on the QR code at\n       the top right. If you’re using Android\, t
 ap the “View List”\n       button at the bottom.\n\n     4. Your list 
 shows everything you’ve added\; if an item has gone\n       out of stock
  since you added it\, a warning will appear\, and\n       you’ll be requ
 ired to remove the item from your list.\n\n     5. When you near the front
  of the merch line\, show the QR code at\n       the top of your list to t
 he order taker. They’ll scan it\, and\n       print a paper list. The li
 st will have an order number on it\, as\n       well as your total amount 
 due. The order taker can help answer any\n       questions and help you mo
 dify your order if needed. If any items\n       have sold out since they w
 ere added to your list\, the order taker\n       can help you find a repla
 cement or remove it from your list.\n\n     6. The paper list will be used
  to retrieve the merchandise from the\n       warehouse. You will wait in 
 a space that is after order taking but\n       before checkout while your 
 order is being picked. While you are\n       waiting\, please get your cas
 h out. Exact change is preferred (it\n       makes everything move faster)
 \, but change is available when\n       required. If there are any issues 
 picking your order\, someone will\n       help with you find alternatives 
 or update your order.\n\n     7. Once your merch is ready\, a cashier will
  shout your order number\,\n       and/or hold up a sign with your order n
 umber written on it.\n       Quickly make your way to the cashier\, and co
 mplete the\n       transaction.\n\n     8. Enjoy!\n\n   '\n\n   1. #LVCCW_
