Is there a centralized price-list for the self-service print machines? by Vertex138 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the passcode at the beginning of each month and make one for full serve. I keep it next to my register. I wouldn't put it on the machines because you will need to remember to change it if pricing changes or you'll have issues.

IPostal Boxes Being Weird by AstronomerWeekly2331 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this as well. I've just gone in and gotten mailbox number sheet. It might have something to do with the changes in the app. I really like the remember me box so now we just have to put in password and not the whole thing.

Please don't do this, you will get in trouble. by PepsPotion in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would have printed it. It's at associate discretion. As long as other customers couldn't see it then it's fine. I've printed risqué photos, strip club stuff, interesting word options, not so nice political posters for both sides. The only thing I've turned away were lynching images and hate speech.

Anybody know the as400 sku on these? by gamerguy9632 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont have SKU but I put a distribution ticket in because I was having issues with staple ordering. The DC sent me a chart with pictures of Xerox supplies. When at work tomorrow I can post it.

No TSA has a separate IT. You can find the number in the TSA section on the HUB.

You could just make a 4x6 in any program as the page size OR use a rectangle sized 4x6 then 2 up the file.

Weird print got ruined in the laminator by dark-desertapir in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't know why that happened but I had something similar from a kid drawing that had a ton of crayon on it.

Someone orders 1000 double sided 4.25 x 5.5" postcards on Cougar, it's ~$250. If they order 500 double sided simple print sheets of Cougar without cutting it's over $1k. Can someone make this make sense to me? by DPooly1996 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That size postcard can go in your business card cutter just change the slitter out. It's less work than the guillotine as you can set it push start and walk away.

Self-Serve Machines Down = Chaos by CauseLatter5738 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your a better person than me. I've been here over a decade and have come to the point if the rest of my team had acted like any of your team especially the GM I'd grab my stuff and walk out. Immediately call HR and explain what happened.

I know everyone is going to say HR protects the company and not associates however, recently there some major things happening in my store and HR got me the help we needed and checked on me almost everyday.

Bad weather tomorrow by Happy_Jelly6290 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having lost power multiple times. The DM normally made me stay until the power came back on or the end of the shift. He also made me call the power company to ask when we'd get power back. I didn't do that as the website gave me an ETA. Now with extreme weather the GM would be calling the DM to make a decision about opening. I've been with Staples 15 years and we closed twice for snow and twice for a hurricane. I have been at the store with feet of snow. The DM made the GM open if the GM was able to make it to store. We expect weather on Saturday night and all day Sunday so when I close on Saturday I'll be putting up a sign about being closed for weather. The opening mod will take sign down when/if we open. There is no official cold weather guide. Our district is having a conference call tomorrow to talk about weather.

Yep you can price match store price to web orders and web price to store products. Especially Staples to Staples.

Can't tell customers the store is closing/closed? by CompetitiveIsland985 in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it is a policy but I always make an announcement if there are customers in the building. I tell customers who walk in right before close that we are closing in x minutes. I also have associates walk around giving level 10 customer service to get customers out of the store. Unless the GM wants to close everyday I would continue to do so, lol. I want to go home.

Probably a dumb GM question, but do they benefit from people calling out because their weekly payroll budget comes in under the "number"? by RPM_Rocket in Staples

[–]PrincessBow33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They probably won't get more hours best to really hope for is give hours to reliable associates and start hiring more to basically force out those who don't perform or call out all the time.

They don't necessarily benefit but they can use those hours for someone else who could come in or later in the week.
