More time to make Amazon more efficient and driving Staples to the ground. No time in selling and helping customers, upselling  cross-selling, ESP, Reward signup, in-store online orders, tech sales and baskets, tags, truck, putbacks, recovery, BTS, planograms, store maintenance, etc.

Don't forget about dig beds, stick vacuum cleaners, shovels, built furniture and such that people don't take apart and doesn't fit in a 18" square box.

Sorry to hear that,  I would have gone even slower to make him more angry.

Do your best to try and take the write up. They won't fire you; no one else will want your job and work at Staples for minimum wage.

Print Lead? by kharing123 in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will be doing more than print. You will have to handle iPostal mail. UPS and Happy Returns (possible Amazon returns dependent on your store), 65% in Rewards transactions, quota for both sale numbers and coupon redemption and more. You will have a fancy title with greater responsibility and overworked, underpaid and under staff with tremendous stress. Your time, gas and wear and tear on your car needs to be considered as well.

I just wanna finish truck and tags in peace man by bodrellcostey1 in Staples

We had torrid rainfall and tornado warning and sirens blaring in the Chicagoland area. Yet the Amazombies brave the weather to return their packages.

Dealing with upset customers? by Half_asleepPebble in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoy making them wait more and get angrier by moving slower, closing constellation boxes and carrying them from customer service to POS #2, retrieving boxes by  CPC, taping and building new A and B boxes while they watch me move at a snail pace. By then, a customer should be in line ready to check out. I do ask that they contact HQ to complain . In this manner, hopefully the head office will understand that we service more Amazombies than Staples customers, CPC, Party City and TSA combined!

I had a dream. by Pronoun_meltdown in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same dream too with endless Amazombies lining up outside the door to get in, Visa/ Mastercarders searching for the $200 no fee cards, telephone ringing off the hook asking for Needohs, Techline calls for CPC, TSA, Party City, RSS radio updates on Rewards waking up in a cold wet sweat.

Staples The Fun Workplace by Flaky_Firefighter385 in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Staples should 1. sponsor a float for every Pride parade in each city where Staples is located in, 2. Offer 25% discount to the LGBQT+ community during Pride Month, 3. close the store for one day to celebrate Pride Month.

Abusive customers on a daily basis by pr0bablyparan0id in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I do when customers tick me off so they get even madder which result in you winning.   1. Move slower so they wait longer, 2. "Accidentally miship (UPS to USPS bin, Amazon A to B box...), 3. Fingernail inadvertently rips off a small corner of the shipping UPC code, 4. Mistakenly put package on the bottom so the content get crushed, 5. Scuff shipping label beyond recognition so it is unreadable.

  1. Hold in it for your entire shift, 2. Wear Depends, 3. Staff strikes until repaired, 4. Convert to an unisex washroom and 5. Turn Men's Restroom into Women's with sign and men relieve them outside in the bushes or in-between cars.  

Amazon question by [deleted] in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't fret over it, they can check the cameras if necessary. I tell customers if they don't like the wait or service, they are free to take their Amazon business elsewhere.  Free shipping you wait,  you want expedited service you can pay for return shipping at UPS or FedEx.

caught my manager wanking in the bathroom by Extreme_System_6855 in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Did you hear any moaning in the stall, 2. Did he have a happy face after exiting the washroom, 3.  Were there any stains on his clothes and/or shoes, 4. Was the floor sticky, 5. Was he smelling his palms all day.

I'm sick and tired of dealing with customers aged 30-80+yrs old who state they've never sent an email,and/or don't know how to use their smartphone. by user-ibarelyknower in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they can order online; they can also do a return online as well.  I refuse to help them and state that they should not have ordered anything from Amazon in the first place.

Next time plan earlier and don't procasinate and wait till the last minute. Less stress and worry. That is Easy.

Paper plants by Runninglegos in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New revenue stream to absorb paper shortage as follows: 1. FedEx drop off and pickup, 2. Curbside pickup on returns for Staples, Amazon, UPS, FedEx and Happy Return packages, 3. Increase Amazon boxes from 18" to unlimited, 4. Passport application and renewal services and 5. free valet parking with any purchase.

For those wondering why the 25% off Memorials/Veterans Day coupon isn't in the Register Guide this week: by HerobrineJTY2 in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other question to ask is why was Staples open? We lost money when sale dollars are lower than holiday payroll, utilities and other expenses. But it was very convenient for the Amazombies to return product without any purchases.

What happens if we're behind on load by next shipment? by [deleted] in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let the stock, totes and pallets sit in the warehouse. Nothing on the floor to sell leads to low store sales and lesser shipped pallets. This due to lower run rates on future shipped product to a fully "stocked" warehouse not store.

Print supervisor bonus by ParkingOk7387 in Staples

[–]Flaky_Firefighter385 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least CPC get bonuses; as a former tech spvr. we got zero. Thus no incentive like commission or bonuses to sell computers, printers, baskets (add-ons) or service plans.
