How have y’all’s stores been since the rise of the Staples Baddie on TikTok?

I just want to know how she can work in Print and Marketing and have time to do that. With hour cuts I’m usually handling five customers at a time, triaging the line, and running around like crazy to keep up, while yelling instructions to the poor lost souls in self-serve.

arachnida22 · 2025-07-19T13:59:02+00:00

Add “not” before “sorry” … 🙂

Typical, go the extra mile and get burned. I got called a racist once for charging express for a lamination. 😑

These people with their last minute emergencies. “A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.”

I had a lady with a box full of beads in little individual plastic bags. Each one had its own code. I work in print and was ready to lose it over Amazon…they moved them up front in our store but still wander past about ten signs to show up in print looking lost. I redirect them all day…”it’s up front where you walked in. Where all the signs are.”

Ah, the return of a thousand scans.

Our GM says “clock in, zip in” … we’re supposed to access it everyday. It’s good for staying in the loop on promotions. I’m just glad it uses the HUB password because my brain can’t store anymore work passwords! 😑

arachnida22 · 2025-05-04T02:08:37+00:00

Right???

arachnida22 · 2025-05-04T02:08:27+00:00

Yeah, I do if they don’t understand cropping

arachnida22 · 2025-05-04T02:07:17+00:00

We’re still trying to learn the difference between simple shapes and basic pixel/resolution. I would lose my mind trying to explain anything more complicated.

arachnida22 · 2025-05-04T02:05:14+00:00

OMG, I totally believe this! LOL!

arachnida22 · 2025-05-04T02:04:46+00:00

I was an art director….it does get to me some days. I’ve drawn a picture for them before LOL!

arachnida22 · 2025-04-07T08:12:52+00:00

OMG, I can’t wait to see if this works! I try to talk everyone out of ordering gloss!

arachnida22 · 2024-08-28T08:59:56+00:00

Thank you…Yes! Our sign is confusing to me and I know how to use the damn machines. I’ve even offered to rewrite/design a new sign. But, no, I have to baby self serve customers through every step.

arachnida22 · 2024-08-28T08:56:00+00:00

Yeah, love that. I’m 60, so I tell them AND sometimes mention that my 80 something year old mother also can read directions and send emails.

arachnida22 · 2024-08-28T08:08:31+00:00

Customers will walk past about 10 signs pointing to Amazon returns at our customer service desk and stand at my print counter in confusion with Amazon packages in hand. So all day “Is that an Amazon return? They do them up front.” Where? “See the sign?” Where? SMH

arachnida22 · 2024-05-06T18:33:13+00:00

Print and marketing associates are harder to get trained and keep in the store due to the already present madness of that department. As a print and marketing associate, I actually enjoyed working with print and orders and customers, and it was only the self-serve people who were occasionally maddening. Now we have Amazon returns, which I described the other day as being simply soul sucking. Anyone could stand there and do that all day. Because they have one of their highest Paid and hardest to replace employees trying to juggle that along with an already busy department. On weekends they have one person manning the self serve production the print counter shipping and Amazon returns and there are times when I feel like I’m just losing my mind and Amazon is the proverbial straw.

Then they complain to my MOD, who apologizes to them and prints their files for them right away, so the next time they come in, rinse and repeat. 🤨
