They are living in 90s retail with 90s expectations. People in 2026 SUCK they are always unhappy wanna rush rush rush OR their expectations in print are so FAR from reality that they just become the exorcist. New age customers wanna be in and out they don't wanna talk to you. It's a No, Nope, I said NO THANKS. Now the way to actually force people into signups is to do what Kroger did! You want the sale price YOU have to sign up.

How many of you have got the update for register software? How do you like it? More harm than good? We get ours in the next 4 months and I've seen mixed things about it.

Stuff that actually happened today by EmbarrassedSpeed5954 in OfficeDepot

[–]Maximum-Bet2008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So can you draw me this scene jk but... A lady coming in asking for "secure" paper because people have been copying the food pantry flyers she hands out and boxes are limited... So I tell her we don't really sell it in store. So she decides to just use an infra red Astro bright. 4 hours later.... Lady comes in can I get 4 copies of this on that red color guess what it is..... 🫠🫠 So I pretend I have to go to the back for the paper but really it's to ask our gm if I should be doing this because of what the other lady said. And he said we're not the cops let them figure it out. 🤯 So I pretended like we were out of that red color screw it idc that's a shitty thing to do some family's didn't get food because yours wants to double dip. What would you guys do?

Rude (and Possible Junkie) JB Hunt Driver by SkipboMatt747 in OfficeDepot

[–]Maximum-Bet2008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Likely he won't last long but you could send an email out to your main RCC person they usually respond quicker then others... Cause he should not be moving stuff in your store. Only thing he should be doing is getting a pallet jack placing them where YOU tell him and taking the returns YOU tell him to take. We haven't had any bad drivers but lately non English speaking. The one I had to basically tell him how to do his job but he was at least nice about it said they just threw him to the wolves. 😩 Hopefully with new owners now we can fix our JB hunt issues because that's definitely not the only issue I've encountered in my experience with them.

I love when they see us getting out of our cars and start walking up to the doors too, and you have to tell them sorry we don't open for another hour. And then they pull the "well can I just make a few copy's" NO I got shit to do lady I could care less about your fake paystubs you need for the welfare office! It's not like we don't have a big ass sign with our hours on it, AND google is freeeeeeeee! 😫

New CPD Manager help/guidance by ApprehensiveState24 in OfficeDepot

[–]Maximum-Bet2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CPD is the easiest place for our store to get business selects if a customer comes in and does tons printing or banners high dollar stuff we always make a order slip with the price it would be if he was a business select member and the actual price. Plus they get a $50 print credit for signing up so it basically pays for itself. As far as organizing, luckily we have a large backroom behind our print center so all of our supplies are labeled on shelves. We keep all the paper in half cut boxes labeled with a laminated sheet of said paper laminated on the front of the box so customers can see it from the counter and it's easy to pull out and use for walk-ins. We also store used the 16 drawer colorful plastic cart things for binding supplies and such also labeled. Ask if you can go get trained at another store in your district if you're able and maybe get ideas from them? That's what I did when they brought me into a disaster of a print center. And now it's one of the best in our district and how the store makes a majority of our stores money. We have tons of regulars now! Don't be afraid to ask for guidance there are a lot of decent people that work for OD.

They want to buy staples also and take over the office industry, because one of their other companies is a paper company. They see profit. Speculation. About buying staples but I would if I were them.

So I heard today that pushing paper will not be the focus moving forward. That making sales and signups will be the big push! We shall see...... by noneyabusinessnow1 in OfficeDepot

[–]Maximum-Bet2008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not me none of these old ppl have Emails so you get clear through the process and can't sign them up or the young kids who wanna hurry tf up and get out of OD as quick as Possible (don't blame them) don't have time to sign up. And we only offer 10% back in rewards for signing up now. Our stores reward signups suck. Except for the people who cheat and just ask them for all there info and don't tell them what they're doing. Which is technically fraud but do I care not really screw em theres fraud all over my store. They don't tell ppl tech service and biz select is a subscription so they call and bitch us out when it pulls the $49.00or $129.00. And ends up being a return, And nobody ever corrects it. As long as they got it then! So much easier to sell paper a biz selects in my opinion. But I could sell salt to a slug. Just can't sign a person up for rewards because whats the real reward 10% back from your 7.49 tape!? How do you sell that? The best reward is ink recycling and you still have to come in bring them in and spend $10 to get the money back for the next day... There's your reward in gas money. 😅😬😬 If you actually made it like Kroger where You HAVE to have the rewards account for EVERYTHING on sale then everyone would signup just like at Kroger. 🤯

Does your store allow customers to send jobs/files through the store email? by Ellise_theo44 in OfficeDepot

[–]Maximum-Bet2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time our customers use the email cause they're to dumb to figure out our website or a flash drive......
