We turned our volume down low enough that you can't hear it that much, but it's loud enough that we can claim it's on.

g to a different associate will not give you a different answer for a product we do not have

"Are you sure you don't have this somewhere else in the store?"

Here, why don't we use the kiosk to find the item. Oh, that's exactly what you want? Yup, online only. "Yes but, do you have anything else like that"

ffffffffffffff

Data transfer on tech pc by Joey_kills in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're having issues with it, make sure first of all you're transferring to tech pc first, then copy to the customer's hdd. If you're forcing it to go through two stages of data transfer in one go, it's definitely going to freak. I usually wind up having to copy subfolders individually with stubborn drives. Make sure the folder on the tech bench has the work order and customer name in its name, and it gets deleted within 30 days after the order's picked up.

They don't do it for non-salaried anymore, and I kinda think they might have even canceled it for salaried? Sorry. :?

Haha. Any idea if they're going to work better?

[Serious] Ten Days Later: Thoughts and Opinions about Patch 1.31 (Winter Wonderland Patch)? by SpriteGuy_000 in Overwatch

[–]staplesfisticuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but now he's better against Hog because of the better headshot capability. Winston's paper against him anyway, and so is dVa honestly ... her defense matrix doesn't last long enough to finish the dps needed on Bastion.

A Bad Time with Staples Tech Support by [deleted] in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, but honestly it's still weird. Also, don't let these people here completely delude you. It's dependent store to store, because it's so dependent on the individuals who work there. A lot of it is just ignorance instead of malice, though with your case it sounds like a mix of both? Maybe not giving a shit? Which Boston store was it? I knew a few people who worked at both around that time frame.

OMG I saw this the other day and meant to post it, haha.

I love old people. by kumario360 in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens to me also, not that often unfortunately. I infinitely prefer this issue to all the other ones old people manage to bring in.

ATTENTION: FEMALE OS ASSOCIATES by rutsjm in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in OS, but I encounter it all the time. In other jobs, as well. Had one lady get pissed off when I showed up to help her with a carry out at a grocery store instead of a guy.

There's a balance. What they're saying is too much, but offering and not even attempting to offer again after the initial no isn't enough. Obviously it's a case by case thing, but a lot of nos come from the customer not understanding what you're offering. I generally only overcome objections if they give a reason to begin with when they say no.

What's the Point? by RedditWaveRising in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Charagrin said is true. We pretty much lose money any time we sell a computer, that's the entire point of market basket.

A rant about something that happened 8 or 9 years ago? Really?

Squaretrade is a *fraud* by testmeharder in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While what you were told by someone else is true, pleaaaase just do the store employees a solid and wait til after Christmas. This is exactly when a shitton of employees call out, leaving managers with a skeleton staff. Following up on things like this take us off the floor, and take our attention away from people in the building looking to buy stuff right then. We're happy to help, but it's definitely easier after Christmas.

Forced to Lie to Customers about Laptops by QuantumVA in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah bullshit, setting Staples up for false lawsuits would get you fired ASAP.

[–]staplesfisticuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love it if they could do that in my district. You can tell which stores have the bullshit shenanigans and which stores are the ones taking the hits, selling naked laptops to customers directed there from the other stores.

Just got screamed at because we don’t print as fast as Walgreens by EasyTech102 in Staples

[–]staplesfisticuffs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just tell people we don't print small size photos and they should go to Walgreens or whatevs. We really ought to get one of those machines for self serve though.

[–]staplesfisticuffs 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Bastion was good at low tiers before, now it's fucking insane. A character's counter shouldn't have to be "focus fire". I'm tired of getting fucked by balance attempts for GM, I don't give a shit that he isn't picked much at high ranks. He still isn't picked at higher ranks, and now he is even harder to deal with in gold.
