walking in I remembered why I don't like shopping there... its a pain in the ass to walk in and out of the store... turnstiles during entry.. you have to take the long way around to leave.. reminds me of some supermax shows I've seen on tv.. whats the deal with their entry way? .. if someone was gonna run out of the store they could jump over the turnstiles anyways.. or tackle any number of the out of shape workers there.. my advice to store managers... change your entry way

And they are jerks besides, in my opinion. If you are going to accept a coupon, make some points with the customer! That's what coupons and deals are for! What's the point in taking a coupon that you question, then acting like a jerk about it?

Drive a few extra miles and go to the Tigard store by Washington Square. Those guys have inspired several petitions to create a Nobel Prize in Customer Service!

Had no problems using this coupon today. Walked in, price matched two TDK 50 cd-r spindles @ $10 each from best buy, and used the coupon. 100 cds (and a twix bar to put me over :) ) for $10........nice.

Just so people know, this coupon is FAKE so use at your own risk. Staples Corp sent memo's to the stores for them to "watch out" for certain codes on this coupon.

Yes, the instore computer will accept them but there was never a $10 off $20 coupon. I won't go into details about it though.

Man, I'm on the peeved side..
I successfully used a coupon to get some neat stuff earlier, but I went back again last night to get a paper shredder and one of those big fans for $15.
I made my way to the cash register and presented the coupon and was told they were fake, and the manager points to parts of the coupon that didn't load completely. Then my brother shows them another coupon we had printed out for him to use, then he says these are actually illegal coupons.
I was so convinced he was lying I was peeved when I left. Then I come here to find that is is partially true? still a little wierded out by all this.

I used the coupon a couple days ago at the N Dallas/Richardson store; no sweat. Problem is, I picked up a Targus keyboard for the Palm m500/m505, thinking it would work with my m130... BUT NOT. Anyone who wants it at cost ($9.50), just PM me.

Used it twice at OD....worked like a charm :)

If staples wont accept it, it doesnt mean their competitors wont......does it ? ;)
