we had no discount at staples. Do a search here on ATOT (anandtech off topic) for staples..there have been numerous posts.

No discounts except for maybe like 2-3 times a year. Office Depot has a constant 10 or 15% discount year round on most items, Max is the same as Staples.

The best part about working at Staples (I used to work there for a year and a half, no longer do anymore though) is getting the one up on clearance pricing and stuff. (ie, $97 for a 120GB External 7200RPM Maxtor HD is one I scored big on) Other than that, your experience working there varies from manager to manager

My friend worked at staples and he gave me a discount without me knowing. I bought a bunch of school supplies and he only scanned half of them.
