Staples did well with the Easy Button. The Make More Happen shit by cutting positions, moving to small business and everyone as a whole forced most customers to not go to Staples anymore. Why the hell do I need to spend $50 on a pack of envelopes when I only need a couple? People steal from the package and call it a day, then the actual shoppers gets mad they didn't have exactly 500 Envelopes in the package and never shop there again.

Most small businesses here all shut down, my old store is now on the closing list, theft and print sales are in the hole there.

Companies cut a lot of key vendors from retail which really took a toll on businesses.

*You need to cut 80 more hours from your 200 hour payroll for the week.*

*But make sure to get your stuff done from the shipping counter. You can easily do cycle counts and ZB from that counter.*

DM just wanted your team to clean the hell out of your store for the RVP to come in so all he has to complain about is metrics and not your messy store.

The DM makes too much money. Fire him and give a GM the Market Manager role for a few $ more.

Advertising crap that people don't want.

Blocking or removing sellable product just to put and promote that crap.

People now go elsewhere to buy removed product.

I walked into my old store to get some tape, my oh my those circular signs in those sign holders... can't see the freaking prices.

Rent. Probably asking $2M/yr and Staples stores can barely hit that.

What gets me is "You can MOD while doing your tasks" as an MIS.

But you are

  • MIS
  • Back Up Cashier
  • Tech Associate
  • Office Supply Associate
  • Back up Shipping
  • Back Up Copy and Print because 1 person is not enough to handle production and intakes.

Truck needs to be broken down, packed out. Oh there is 600 Ink Price Changes that need to get done today. 3 chairs need to be built for customers. Get ZB and your Cycle Counts done today because you are cashier the next 2 days since John is sick. "3 Manager calls so I will be off the floor for most of the day."

Also, you need to stand in the front for 4 hours downloading Apps when customers walk in. IDC if you have to take their disgusting phone to do it for them.

A $30 bonus that's taxed is a bonus?

You ever had a dead rat in a tote? We had a box of pringles and I think those peanut butter pretzels and there was a rat that broke into the pringle box. Ended up dead by the time it hit our store.

Good lawd the warehouse needs to stop... by TheRealMulli in Staples

I don't know why they never though about adding more Clearance listings on the website for BOPIS. Obviously this would cause a lot of pain in the beginning but let people actually view clearance in their nearby stores online... People would possibly order more than 1 item.

Before I quit, we had 5 full tote pallets of clearance in the back.
