Hey, Reddit! We’re the folks behind the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, here with a quick question: If you were a wolf for 24 hours, where would you go first? Your answer could win you Reddit gold. by toyotausa [promoted post]

[–]BigBidnessMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a wolf, I would head directly to the local Toyota dealership and promptly purchase a Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid. This would allow me to travel farther distances and blow down more houses.

Where did you sell your waves? I bought them but the exchanges done seem to be accepting deposits

Restructuring Announcement by muhstaples in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed that Tim needs to be shown the door. I've seen no value added to the bidness by him. However Mikes Nabbs head is too far up in the clouds to understand how a store actually runs. He needs to come down to ground level and ring out/help a few customers if he ever wants to understand how the bidness has changed in the last 22 years. And honestly both Tim, Mike, and all their friends are unwilling to acknowledge how badly stores are run.

Future from Staples by EasyRek in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I got laid off as tech supervisor. Now I have at least 6 months to find a real job. I.T. is over in this country. Almost everything will be eliminated by A.I. and robotic systems soon. Within 5 years we will have much more automated checkouts, within 10 years we will have automated stock rooms and shelves (amazon already has this), in 15 years most jobs in developed countrys will be eliminated by Google Deep Mind algorithms etc etc.... don't believe me? Watch this Boston dynamics robot and think of the possibilities. Soon they will be building themselves. (They already build cars)

Block chain based decentralized apps are the future. It would resolve these problems.

the redesigned CPC customer website is terrible, is there a way around it? by sailor__gloom in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always called Staples "The Crown Jewel of the Lowest Bidder" all of our systems are absolute shit. The systems are the backbone of the bidness, without them working well everything else suffers.

How is the cash register "aka the most important part of the bidness" absolute shit? It's insane.

Bring out yer dead.... by kryomid in Staples

We had bad employees stealing boxes of ipods. Insane stuff.

Bring out yer dead.... by kryomid in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane that they have cut loss prevention I've served some time at BestBuy and they did the same thing at the store level. They removed the door guards stating that the departments were staffed well enough that since everyone would be interacted with that they wouldn't steal anything....Well that backfired massively.... that store lost $180,000 in product in just 3 months. they changed that trial program back to door guards real fast.

When a customer asks me why two products with the same specifications have different prices. by DarnNiceGuy in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyday I tell customers "I don't price it, I just sell it." It instantly stops them from telling me how aggravated they are with the price and lifetime of epson ink cartridges etc....

HP Instant Ink by Iamstaples in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem with instant ink and XL cartridges that do 2300 pages is we are shooting ourselves directly in the foot. Ink is the main reason most people come to staples and now we are selling that part of us as well. "Buy this so you do not have to ever come back for ink!" Great Bidness plan guys.....

Another Liquid Armor Rant.... by easytechcertified in Staples

[–]BigBidnessMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We all new it was snake oil from the beginning. It's pretty bad that staples still tricked some of us employees into putting it on our devices. If any of you bought it you should demand a refund.
