Staples

Go to spot for any and all office supplies. They do a good job of putting related items close, but check to make sure you’re getting the best deal on items that are «conveniently» placed by one another, i.e. storage box, and hanging folders.
Staff is friendly and always speak. The 3 stars is for their outdated POS system. If you go first thing in the morning it’s like their computers need to warm up and are slow in ringing up orders. This particular store is also in need of a makeover. Even from the street the exterior is drab and uninviting.

I wasn’t upset when I left this place, but the more I thought about what happened…
So I went to buy a few office supplies. It took me a while to find what I needed, but I found it. I went to check out and there was a really long line. The employees opened another register, which was appreciated. After getting through a few people they closed it. Then he came back and reopened it and called me over.
They rang up my items and I gave them my rewards card. No one reading this would know this about me, but I HATE rewards cards. As a consumer it is a slap in the face anyway I think of it. The only good part about them is the discount, but basically it’s telling you that you’re not valued as a customer without it. I don’t carry keys. I haven’t for years, but I have to carry a stupid card for every store I might go in that day, week or month? Just value everyone as a customer and don’t overcharge us because we prefer to remain private and not give you all of our personal information. Ok, rant over. I could keep going, but no one cares.
So I give him my rewards card. It had not been activated. Instead of them using a store card to give me the discount, I was told to activate the card, call some number, then I’d have to come back to the store with my card and receipt for a discount. NOOOOOO! What will happen now is you can keep my extra $ 2 I would’ve saved and I will not shop at Staples again. Is that worth $ 2 Staples? To me, this is the ultimate way to say I’m not a «valued» customer.
