r/Staples

Is this unique to my Staples location? Half of the bins are stocked with pantry items 1-3 months past expiration. Is this even... allowed? Lol

How is everyone doing especially during the busy Back to School season

I got a chair. Its till in the box unopened. Do I have to bring it in myself for a return?

I work in print and I always get customers trying to check out at the shipping area, I tell them checkout is at the other side of store, and they insist “ I can’t check out here?” NO there is a big azz sign saying shipping. I also get ones at order print line waiting 15min while I help print customers and when it’s they’re turn I ask are u here for pickup or you want to place a order, and they pass me a sale item and I tell them checkout is at the other side of store and some will get pissy and will sometimes leave item and leave the store. Like it’s not my fault you can’t read signs. Does anyone have similar situations?

Long story short…I upset two ladies in a row and they both wanted to “speak to the manager” so I got written up for not just that…literally everything (dress code, AirPods, name tag) they threw the book at me to see what sticks. Soooo Reddit…should I just keep my head down or…should I call out the stuff that they’re trying to police me for when other people do it?

Update: I finally received a copy of the document. You guys wanna see the full text?

I’ve put up with this menial and boring job because I enjoy my coworkers and I can listen to music but the meme about gen z not being able to work without AirPods is real and is happening to me. Currently looking for another job lol

Bro, these back to school sales have people legitimately tripping 😂. I've manned the register a few times, and I see literally carts with mountains of crayons, markers, notebooks, and folders. Just take the whole store at that point. It makes sense if they're teachers, but if they're parents, they either have a lot of kids or one child who breaks things constantly. Stupid question, but has anyone else gone through this? I'm not annoyed (most of the time, anyway) just utterly surprised.

Hey, I’m a part time employee at staples just finished my first non training shift!

horray!

but i noticed im scheduled for 35 hours this week?! is this normal for part time and once the rush for Back to school” is over will they get cut and can someone possibly tell me an estimate of how cut down we’re talking?
