So, i figured since its tooo dangerous to walk to the staples by my house, i'd jsut order the stuff on staples.com and make it easy.
so here i am shopping, and right when i go to pay, BAM! they tell me i cant use my Staples giftcard. that i have to go to an actual store to use it. so i flip out on the lady cuz their slogan is "that was easy" and obviously ITS WASNT EASY cuz i cant even use their giftcard to make online purchases at their damn online store. what kind of bullshit is that seariously. |

So I used to work at Staples. xD
They do a lot of things right - they treat their employees well, they do provide good in-store customer service, and our product selection was nice. But their website does suck. I ordered a custom stamp once from copy&print online, and they were like "o sry we don't support macs". |

That's ridiculous, a gift card is a gift card, right? For purchasing products from the store! The online store is still a store, is it not?
I'd be pretty pissed off if I was in your situation haha |

umm i am broke. i pay out of state tuition, which means its triple from instate tuition. yea i work, but i dont get a paycheck, they just pay for my rent. my parents are no where near rich, so sometimes i dont get money from them for like more than a month. i was back home i work 50 hours in 1.5 weeks at my old job to get money, but all the money went towards my book, thansk to anatomy ( the book was about $240.00)
im not gonna go walk to the store and risk getting raped or jumped or run over. |
