Office Essentials

The customer service here is definitely lacking. If you get upset over poor customer service you…read moremay want to skip this location. I can definitely see why it's always dead. The staff is of very little help and they treat you in my opinion, rather rudely. It's a shame because I like supporting a small box companies like this but these people don't deserve my business.

This is probably one of the first times I've ever visited an Office Max. I came in because I needed…read moretwo poster boards laminated and I thought this would be WAY easier (and better) than trying to do it myself at home. I walked up to the counter and the girl was helping another customer try and find something on the computer. She didn't even look up or acknowledge me until several minutes later. When she finally did, all she said was "hi." Then a few minutes after that, seeing I had two large poster boards, she said "you just need those laminated?" When I said "yes," she went to turn on the laminator and said "it will be a few minutes for it to warm up." Awesome. To save time she could have figured out what I was there for in the beginning and already had it warming up by the time she was finished helping the last customer. Talk about terrible customer service. I was in the store for 25 minutes when it could have easily taken 10 with good service and time management. Oh and there was also a customer after me who asked about faxing. She laughed at him and pointed to the fax machine that was a few feet from him. Nice.

I did but the store wouldn't help me since it was purchased though uber even though I showed the receipt and policy. I was told to call into corporate to get a bar code, so I did but was on the phone for over 10 minutes. I then gave the girl the bar code and it didn't work. The girl at the register said her manager could do an even exchange but the manager came over and refused and said I should have brought from then directly? Then Josh the manger got super rude with me and told me I was holding up his line and I needed to move. He outright refused to help me and thought my situation was funny? I asked Josh for his last name and he told me he doesn't give it to "crazy" people. Apparently asking for an even exchange and showing the receipt was crazy. It even states online that you can exchange when ordering from office max and uber eats. I can't believe a manager of a store would act like that or think it was funny to not help someone even though it was his stores mistake. I ended up just leaving because no adult should talk to another adult that way.

For our 60th high school reunion, we needed alumni booklets to be printed and a poster board of…read moredeceased classmates laminated. Virgil was so patient and wonderfully helpful in planning the booklet at the lowest cost. Covers were purchased at Office Max but had to be ordered. I arrived a few days later to pick up the copied pages and covers, but the printing had not been completed. The group to assemble the booklets was waiting my arrival. So Rovena called "all hands on deck" and printed everything as quickly as possible, plus added in some additional printing at no charge...Rovena, Virgil, and others truly demonstrated what customer service means!

A covered double cot for my Dad, he loved that gift! Even enjoyed some ice cream right out front, a unique shopping experience! This review is long overdue!! Right on time for the official grand opening, Rosemary's Bits and Bobs has been open for about 3 months and, of course, one of my favorite places to go! While I have known Becky and her family for nearly 16 years, every time I head into the shop and she is greeting and talking to customers, and she gives them that feeling as well. The whole family does.It's like going over to your best friend's house every time you walk into the shop. They always make you feel special and right at home. Every time you walk into the door, there's always a new one, and there's always a new find or something that you deem as a "must have." Whenever you get that feeling, act upon it! You never know there may be someone else who might be thinking about that chair or table as well. That is the exciting thing about the shopping experience. There is always something new, and there's always something unique that no one else is going to have. It lends itself to creating that perfect space by gathering various "bits and bobs." Make Rosemary's Bits & Bobs a destination location on your places you must go to. You will not be sorry, and I guarantee you will find that perfect piece that speaks to you that you just must bring home!

On top of that they have the cheapest ink around. Typically I'll buy a $50 and then just buy a new one because it's cheaper than buying the ink cartridges. I can't recommend this place enough. Oh, and color copies are less than half the cost of literally anywhere else. Even the online places. It's insane! I'm surprised there isn't a tv add showing how his partners want to commit him for his crazy low prices. But then I suppose they'd have to raise the prices to pay for the add.
