"You need to win us back"

[Pagan]

I want to know what location you went to. I worked there over Christmas and had 30 seconds to greet everyone who came into my section or I'd get in trouble. I actually had people go complain because it was policy for every customer to be greeted each time they came into a section. If a person was in Games where I worked and went over to TVs and then came back to Games I was suppose to greet them again.

That never happened the times I went into the one by me. In fact, I was usually roundly ignored and even had a couple of (male) employees walk by me to get to a man and ask if they needed help.

According to their website that now has the date/info about it. Oh, but only the USA operations, Canada operations are still up and running and will be.

winning someone over is like asking for a manager. the customer automaticly just asks because they beleive you'll get the deal. And best buy does not have much for ink. which is funny in a way because they sell the printers. I tend to go to staples because they are cheaper then wal mart and recycle the ink cartriges.

OMG! I didn't think it was possible, but Mara-chan, we've found a Staples-Fangirl!!

Hey I'm a staples fan....uhm....person.

Ever since they got rid of the commissioned people a few years back their customer service dropped like their stock price. (I was gonna use the panties/prom date type saying, but...)



Spencers Gifts do have some mini easy-button ripoffs. I'm sure you could rewire one of those into a real easy button.


We do appreciate the fans though! ^_^

On a somewhat related note, I came across something in the Sunday paper that I found somewhat amusing -- a sales flyer for Circuit City, adverstising things like "No payments for 18 months!" Obviously, this was printed before the company announced they were going out of business, but I wonder how many asses are going on and demanding that particular deal, despite the fact that the company won't be around in 18 months.

Thats funny because my dad had taken advantage of that deal a year ago on a high-dollar digital camera. When I was down there last week he joked "I guess I don't have to pay for this now!"

'Course, not being an SC, he truly was KIDDING, and is fully expected and prepared to hear an update on how/when it must be paid.

I can only imagine the disgruntled and entitled whining that will ensue when SC's realize that they aren't simply going to be able to not pay for these items.

I'm one too! I'm just quieter about it. Staples is one of the places I'm not allowed in unattended with my purse.

Hee hee. I am not allowed in either...

(I love packs of multicoloured pens. I can't help it. And crayons.)

Like the 16 pack sharpies, or the 24 pack of regular Staples brand pens?

Ooooo! Both! Gimme gimme gimme! Please! Want pretty pens!!

(Actually Sharpies and I do not get along so well. They are permanent. I am a klutz. I also have a bad habit of placing pens in my mouth....)

Although, the Staples 'Sonix" gel pens were a bit disappointing. They do not release ink fast enough to keep up bwith my writing!

Normally finance deals are done via a company that specialises in providing finance loan services for retailers. Chances are, you'll keep on paying the finance services company.

Sometimes the financer is simply a specialised branch of the retailer's company, which for a chain as large as Circuit City, is quite possible. In this case they might sell the debt to another financer as part of the winding-up process. If this happens, you should get a notification from Circuit City about changing your payment details.
