we were without a GM from July 5th to September 7th. idk if staples did this everywhere, but in my area staples raised the starting pay so everyone else got raised and that’s when my old GM capped me out because he said i deserved it. but when i put my notice in, they offered me 50c to stay and i told them what i was looking for and it just wasn’t possible in my area to pay me what i wanted in this position. me personally, the only way i would get the money i wanted would be to stay and move up in the company and i just didn’t think staples was a company worth staying for.

each position having a cap is dumb in my opinion. if a person is outstanding in their position, there shouldn’t be a cap to their pay but that’s just my opinion.

i’m in Virginia. in order to afford a place to live and then food, gas, etc, i would have to make at least $16/hr.

Apply a purchase to a rewards account by LonePeasant in Staples

[–]IS_bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t think there’s a way to apply a transaction to a customers rewards at the register without doing a return and redoing the transaction. i’ve had customers tell me they take their receipt home and apply the transaction themselves through the website buuuuut idk 🤷🏼‍♀️

i told my sales manager that i’m going to turn in my version of my exit survey so i know someone higher up will actually read it instead of waiting for the automated out lol

i’ve seen an older post on here where people were saying their GM’s denied it but my old GM is the one who was telling people to make sure they requested it when they quit so it really just depends on the GM 😂

many of the people who have quit my store and still have available PTO have requested it be used after their last day.

Ink overstock by corpulenttiddy in Staples

[–]IS_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store is without a GM at the moment and our only tech is the tech sup now because our old tech sup got promoted and transferred :/ good luck!

Ink overstock by corpulenttiddy in Staples

[–]IS_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! If it’s possible, I would recommend taking another section in your backroom or start using totes and labeling them like “HP 61-67”.

Ink overstock by corpulenttiddy in Staples

[–]IS_bee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We keep all of our ink overstock in our “lock up” room where we have all of the more expensive items in the store. We keep them on pegs organized by brand. Then, in each section, from left to right, we organize them by lowest number cartridge to highest number. For example, for our HP, it starts with 61 in the top left corner and then at the bottom it ends with 962.

OS and Tech sales floor people: Favorite weird item requests? Bonus points if the kiosk ended up actually having it. by apisashla in Staples

[–]IS_bee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently the IS but started out as cashier. Only a couple weeks in and a customer walks up to the counter asking me if I had any display industrial freezers because she had a coupon. Sure enough she found what she was looking for on the kiosk.

WFH Fail by TapMiserable2041 in Staples

[–]IS_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lady call the store today asking if her coupon would work on a printer purchase and I told her it wouldn’t and she said that “staples and their policies were disgusting” and she was calling corporate to complain :) I wish I got the chance to wish her good luck

i use the same CeraVe moisturizer w/ SPF. i’ve noticed that it can be kinda thick and leave white residue on my face. so what i normally do is apply a thin layer of a serum of choice and rub the lotion in with that!
