I am writing this special post early in the week because I was disturbed by a comment last week regarding a couple of my posts. Basically the person was calling me a liar.
I DO NOT ACCEPT this accusation as this blog is based solely on the lies and scams that Staples and other retailers do and have done. I believe in telling the truth in all cases.
However, one piece of information of my last post was based solely upon the information that I had based upon a misprint in the sales flyer that I had in possession.
The problem was that the Ink Savings card has an expiration of May 2014 not the May 2013 as I stated. Let me assure all the readers out there that I was going with information that I had at my disposal at the time and AT NO TIME did I try to make any deception of this part of the program. However, I still stand behind the rest of the posting as being accurate as this information is in their most current flyer and also on their website. Staples does have the legal right to change any information at any time and correct any typographical errors as they did online with their flawed flyer that I had at the time.
Also, a few weeks back I discussed the new rewards cards and issued links to the programs. Since these links are still valid and the information has not changed, I stand behind the information whether it is valid by the company or not. Again, it is up to Staples to correct their errors accordingly and since then, they haven’t.
On a positive note, they did clearly state that the “everything” does have exceptions and they are now clearly listed in large print in their ad. At least, they did something right.
In conclusion, let me say that I don’t take being called a liar lightly as there are those people out there who are such strong supporters of the company that they will never believe any written here because they are so brainwashed by how the company operates. To be honest, I used to be that way too until I got terminated and finally woke up and saw the reality, which is where I am today. I certainly will continue to post as many non-offensive comments as possible because no matter how wrong the “Staples lovers” are, they still deserve to be heard here.
Staples is going down hill as a company to work for, as they have all but eliminated full time positions so that they don't have to pay for benefits.
ReplyDeleteThey call it moving forward, or rather keeping up with a changing environment. They are also focusing more on their online sales, so I assume you'll be seeing more and more stores closing over he next couple of years.
