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

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.

    We have a level 2 snow emergency, meaning only drive if its an emergency. I wonder if I get pulled over tomorrow going to liquor store, they'd believe it was an emergency. "I was out of booze"
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You probably pay the police extra for an escort
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wonder what uber, doordash companies do during snow emergency, refuse the order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Pretty cool, my DAW (MPC 2,0) has whats called "Stem Separation". It will take any sample and split the sample into different tracks and filter sounds, example: Will separate to 4 tracks, 1 for bass, 1 for vocals, 1 for drums, 1 for rest. https://www.akaipro.com/stems.html
