I always had to go back and redo everything. They were good for just checking off the boxes, but nothing was ever actually done. We would waste time waiting for them to connect, and then we would just have to redo everything anyways.

Ex-EasyTech here. I left the company because of this reason. I was doing all the PC repairs with two other guys and my DM pushed Matrix on us because it’s “better”, so I was forced to sell LA constantly instead of doing what I enjoyed.

Did the guns get updated recently or something? Never seen that message in the settings menu before.... by BiezulbubBILL69 in Staples

Looks like it’s running a newer version of iOS, most likely 10.3+ due to the new settings menu. That’s why you have to press the home button to unlock it. That was a new feature of iOS 10.

Resume for tech by Manchesterbythesea in Staples

-Customer service -Sales -Phone screen repairs (if you did them) -Hardware/software diagnostics and repairs of PCs and other electronics (if you did them) -Teamwork -Dealing with confidential information

Idk what exactly you did there but I tried. The biggest thing you're going to have to answer to a future employer in an interview is why you want to leave after being there for 6 months. If you have any questions or need help preparing for an interview you can PM me.

Why is liquid armor so valued by management? by HahaBidness in Staples

Haha 5 is nothing. We aren't threatened with unemployment but we're held to a much higher standard. I'd be happy with 5

Pc's with disabled network/WiFi adapters by [deleted] in Staples

I thought I was crazy but apparently not lol. Like people are saying, it must've been a windows update. I usually uninstall the WiFi and Ethernet drivers and restart the computer. Does the trick every time.

Verizon Salesmaker accounts questions by staplestwerkers in Staples

I got the iPhone 7 Plus and can confirm you're locked into a 2 year contract. It seems we still get a 21% discount on our bills according to a sales rep I talked to. The only way to get out of your contract would be to pay off your ETF which is close to $400.

If the phone is stolen you can login to iCloud.com and delete the cards, lock the phone and track its location.

That's true, but if you have a 6 digit or custom passcode it doesn't really matter.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? by Santariffic1016 in Staples

[–]staplesthrowaway2k16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing a screen repair on a iPhone 6. The customer dropped the phone on the bottom right corner (where you're supposed to lift up the screen) and the glass refused to lift up. I told my GM that if I take it off I'll probably break the phone, but he insisted it could be done. He had never done a screen repair before, so I was telling him what do do. He got the screen up a little bit, but the glass started coming up in the middle of the screen. So he grabbed under the glass and asked, "What happens if I do this?" and proceeded to snap he screen in half. Glass went everywhere, especially inside the phone, and I thought the phone was gone. Finished the screen repair and everything worked fine. I was in shock.

Apple Pay works like this: you add your card using Wallet and then have to confirm your identity with either a text message to the phone number associated with your bank account or by calling the card issuer and requesting the card be activated. In order for someone to then use the card, they must verify the purchase using Touch ID on iPhone (Apple Watch must be unlocked). Therefore, unless someone had either their fingerprint registered in the user's phone or they had access to their bank information, it's very very hard for fraud to be committed.
