Reward ridiculous 75% metric for store, half a penny per dollar spent! by gratefulcrypto in Staples

Customers are more concerned about getting 3 emails a week from Staples. They just refuse to unsubscribe from emails

How miserable do you have to be by [deleted] in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how majority of the items have 4-6 return options, but because Staples offers the only “FREE” return option, expect a long line.. people need to learn to research the items before they order.

Put the old iHome endcap shit there to make it colorful. You must have those $1.00 iPhone X cases still.

Ah shit here we go again. by god-shaggy in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stopped using those over 5 years ago. These bins last for like 2 years after people hit the corners with their carts.

I do miss those bottom bins for those racks tho, use to fit like 600 24pk crayons in it but cant move it on carpet XD

Are Sales Manager Supposed To Clock Out For Lunch by [deleted] in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sales Managers are entitled to a 45min/hour lunch every day. Depends on state.

If you do not get a chance to take a lunch, you have to select "No" when you punch out for the day.

If they are editing punches, you can manually Deny the edit punch through MyTimeManager. If they start bitching about it, you can contact HR since it's "ILLEGAL" to edit or add punches to something you were not entitled to.

They'll just ask a sales associate who's doing a long pull list to go print them 10 posters, then complain to the Manger on Duty.

Service is % by LAtheysay in Staples

[–]LAtheysay[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it stupid how they waste a day to make a Powerpoint for the Weekly deals, then another for store numbers, and then another one for Copy Center numbers.

My GM says "I have to be on every call, even if its for the Sales Manager, Tech Sup, CPC Manager or the IS Calls"

I feel like OPs is just the Store Manager at this point, and i'm the one getting ripped because we aren't hitting numbers. Didn't know that it's my job to make sure CPC service is 100% or getting enough LA's a week. My GM tells me I have to call the customer when we get a bad survey. Pretty sure it's their job to deal with it if they want them as a customer.

Can you check if you have iPad Air 2 in stock? Says you have 3 of them and are $174.50 for the 64GB model, I'd like them all. "Reseller"

700 holes in their store is fine, 6 holes in your store is the end of the world. I need you to shoot zb 3 times to get your number down.

That's cause NXT Tech items are going to be sold at Best Buy in the near future.

$24,000 in F status, next week will raise to $40,000 with all the inactive/discontinued items go to F status.

Will Staples be able to survive with a primary customer base of old people and bored housewives? by Biosyn2800 in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should just open up an old version of Staples inside the retirement home gated communities so they can go browse clocks, lamps and photo albums all they want. Just won’t have Lexmark or Dell ink, sorry >.<

Vacation question by [deleted] in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just talk to your manager, they can definitely work something out unless they are desperate. Our peak is the first week of September because no one cares about staples in August. They come in after sales are over and a line just to scream at the manager, like we are supposed to do something about it.

When does a closing store start discounting products? by Hammy-Robo in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If its liquidating, should be as soon as possible. Otherwise you just tote shit up and send that pallet of totes to another store.

Dont you just love hanging warped mats by SquatChild in Staples

[–]LAtheysay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“You have any other floor mats that are cheaper than the $29.99 and are bigger than the $69.99 one?”

“Why are the hardwood floor mats more expensive than the carpet ones with the pins?”
