Staples: June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008
Lady: I want this, but for 2009.
Me: We don't have the 2009 calendars out yet.
Lady: But you have them?
Me: Yes, we have received them but we haven't started bringing them out yet.
Lady: But I need the 09 calendar and I don't live close.
Me: Sorry, we don't have 2009 out yet.
Lady: How hard would it be for you to go find it.
Me: Well, we have about 4,000 pounds of 2009 calendars back there shrink wrapped, in boxes, on shrink wrapped pallets.
Lady: Why aren't they out?
Me: Because right now we have to get the 40 pallets of back to school stuff out.
Lady: When will they be out?
Me: Whenever we get to them.
*So the lady tromps off bugging every employee about the calendars to no avail.

Man: I can't find this paper.
*He hands me part of a box.
Me: We don't carry the 3 part dot matrix printer paper anymore. All we have is 1 part.
Man: You used to have it.
Me: Yes. We stopped carrying it.
Man: Fine, I'll go somewhere else then.
*He walks out and 30 seconds later he walks back in.
Man Um, is there an Office Max or Office Depot anywhere around here?
Me: Yep, there's an Office Max just around the corner.
Man: Thanks.

Why can't staples learn from car companies...they always seem to have the next years model out even at the beginning of the year. IE 2009 model in Feb-March of 08.

I have definitely asked for directions to another store from the store I am at. They looked cross at me but I got the info and no shame doing it =)
 
Every time I read a blog article about retail store/ebay experience/staples, I know the number of *insert negative word here* customers has increased by one.

The second guy is cute =P
 
LMAO the secound story is best.

I'm surpised you keep your nerve in front of these idiots jumpman17, I'd end up crying of laughter at them.
 
The second story reminds me of how I used to work at Pizza Pizza (an Ontario pizza restaurant). Some guy came in and asked where Pizza Hut was.

    Credit scores are weird but -- like you say, if you're not using it -- not using credit -- that's "bad" for your score
