why does OfficeMax suck so bad?

[SandEagle]

i have a 30% coupon, but there ain't shit to buy on their stupid site. no Wii, no good SSDs, no tablets, not a damn thing worth getting. Count my words, this place will be going the route of Circuit City. Staples is 10x better than this.

they already are on route to being the next CC. They have closed more than half the stores....

This.

But also, you know, for once, OP, I think I might be with you on this. Their tablet selection is poor and prices aren't great (hasn't the Xoom had deals for like $300?).

Going into gaming if you click Wii it brings up a $160 DSi?

Their headphone selection is junk. They have 1 Blu-Ray player.

I'd probably just find a nice office chair or desk or maybe folding table or something.

Local Office Max closed last year. Store was dead (was next door to long gone Circuit City) last time I visited. Nothing worth buying. Used to have hot deals, but not anymore.

Same thing with the local Office Depot. Their clearance printer prices are a joke compared to what Staples has been doing lately.

Why would they carry the Wii, they're an office supply store, not an electronics store.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Yeah. OfficeMax is OFFICE supplies. 😛

 

[Fritzo]

You know they're primarily an office supply store, right?

I hope they do. It's the only one we have in town and I have been banned (Papers served and everything!).

For me OM sucks because they sell stuff at prices thay claim are mistakes and then cancel your orders unilaterally. They (I suppose) expect you to continue on as a loyal customer.

Dumbasses ...

 

[Sonikku]

pshaw. I hear you guys talk about playing your game consoles in the office all the time. ^_~

what did ya do, take a dump in the middle of the aisle?

 

[shortylickens]

It doesnt. You are the one who SUCKS!




No really, just dont shop there. Go to Amazon and get 30 percent off everything year round.

I feel like this deserves a more detailed explanation

I used to work there (12 years ago). We had some of the customer service girls started snagging cash receipts, grabbing a phone/address out of the phone book, and returning it.

I found out about it and didn't say anything. It went on for months but I found out and within 48 hours investigators from corporate came in. So everyone blamed me because of the timing.

Luckily, they couldn't press charges because their district guy that did the investigation was a licensed police officer in the state. One question about giving a statement to a police officer without our miranda warning and they shut up. So they banned us all (about 30 total) and threatened us with criminal trespass.

Thank goodness my employer has a state contract with Staples.
