Nothing like 15+ hours of work @Staples

[bubbadu]

Just got in from a LONGGGGG days work at Staples... my legs are about to fall off so heres a recap

-6:00 am arrive at staples
-7:01 am - It was quite funny to watch people run just to get a chance at some of the deals
-11:30 am Free pizza cant beat that
- All day -I enjoyed watching people with four kids or more grab one of everything, then i would proced to tell them that its one per customer... good luck sending 87 rebates to one address
-Went over to Best Buy after work, they absolutely nothing left

Just figured i would share the fun that is staples ... gotta be there again at 9 tomorrow.. someone shoot me now

Hey any ideas on what to buy at Staples tonight?

I have some printable $30 off $150 coupons burning a hole ...

 

[bubbadu]

anything that was an early bird special might be already gone... we had the monitor left and the free cds.. the burner/photo paper/printer all that went real early... how about that 2 pack of hubs for $10 after MIR... would work good on the 1500T ... i would try and get the cheapest items and bump youself up to nearly 150, then everything would be free... i would also look on FW for techguy's combo posts which seemed pretty good... i have about 15 customers that bought the kodak camera today, and we didnt have the memory OR the kit that came with it... so tomrorow is going to be the impossible task of finding stores that acutally have them in stock .. boooo...

I would give ya more ideas RossMAN but my brain is fired right now from all the craziness

Quiznos doesn't do it for you anymore?

1) There isn't a Quizno's close to my house (thankfully).
2) Quizno's is more expensive than Subway is plus they don't offer Subway stamps.

Just finished my footlong Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki on Honey Oat bread, ahh that hit the spot.

Only $5.39

What are Subway Stamps?

 

[Zugzwang152]

Subway rules, hands down. Or maybe I'm just brainwashed after 2 samples of Quizno's and about 50 billion Subway runs.

Subway gives you a little stamp per each 6" you buy. I've yet to find a location that doesn't.
You collect these on a card (free) and can exchange a card (8 stamps) for a free 6" plus peurchase of a regular drink. You can also use two cards for a free footlong


[edit: you need to ask for stamps/a card at the register at the time of purchase]

Yep. Those filled cards make a great lunch since you're required to buy a medium soft drink.

They must have started this recently. I used to have a card where you could get a free sub of equal or lesser value with any purchase. I would just get a 6" and get a free 6", so a footlong for the cost of a 6". It lasted a whole year, too. But it expired in October .

What time did you get off anyway? One guy stayed here from 6:30 till we got out at 9:15 tonight. (He lived an hour away so he didn't want to go home for 2 hours and come back)

We still had the G85's for $200 and an @$$load of those Memorex scanners left.

Nope.. The stamps thing has been going on for YEARS. at least 6 to my recollection

Nope, Subway has had the stamp system here for YEARS (at least 10 from my recollection).

You know you don't have to BUY something from every store, even if there is a deal.

Wish someone would have taught me that concept back in 1998

Just tell yourself that you have no money, so then you won't buy anything. That's why I'm still running on a P2-450MHz machine when the rest of the world is on P4s and Athlons at 2GHz.

my friend who works at compusa worked for 14 hours yesterday. he's on commission, so he was a very grumpy, rich man.
