I like poking around Staples. They sell office supplies. This location is in the Fairlawn Plaza,…read moreacross the street from Carlingwood Mall. My most recent visit was for a new computer chair. They have floor models so I wanted to sit in a few to see which was most comfortable. I finally decided on one and advised one of the salespeople which one I wanted to purchase. He took a picture of the tag and said he will check to see if it's in stock. After a while he came back and said they had 3 in stock and so he will retrieve one for me. I saw him climb onto that machine that raises them up so they can access the storage areas near the ceiling. I was pleased to see he strapped himself in (I'm sure their health and safety department is also pleased). I saw him checking several different storage areas. Then I heard him ask another colleague for help. Finally he came back and said there is an error with their inventory system because it doesn't appear that they have any left. He listed some nearby stores that had them, but I wasn't convinced they actually had them and didn't want to make the trip. I'm sure he sensed that, because he offered to order it online for me and get it shipped to my house (free shipping). I can order it myself online at home, but I figured maybe if he did it he'd get some sort of commission, and he already put in so much effort to help me, so I was like ok, sure. He goes to the computer and tries to add the chair to the cart and the system freezes. He tries a few times without success. By that time I was at the store for much longer than I expected or wanted to be. I thanked him for his efforts and said it was ok, I'll just order it at home later. Lol. So 5 stars for the guy who helped me and A for effort for him, but 2 stars for a faulty inventory system and slow/frozen online ordering system. Incidentally, I also really dislike their website, as when you search for things it lists items that are sold out and you can't filter for only available items. I realize their website and systems are not store-specific but rather corporate. However, these issues affect customers' experiences and opinions of the business. I do like Staples in general and would rate them 3 stars overall, but the customer service at this location bumps it up to 4. I also like that there's a washroom at the back of the store. These days I get so much hand sanitizer build up on my hands that it's nice to use some good old fashioned soap and water sometimes. There's lots of free parking in the plaza.

However, the online…read moresystem I tried to use before I went to the store had two major problems: (1) all the files I uploaded had to be re-uploaded to a different website at the store, and (2) the online system only accepts credit cards from Canadian residents (I have a Canadian bank account, and own a condo in Canada, but my billing address is in the US, so the Staples website would not accept my credit card) -- and they did not disclose this until after I had spent a couple of hours uploading my files and fine-tuning the print options so the costs were reasonable. Sigh!

The manager Ali on shift was so incredibly demeaning and rude. His first Cut me off while talking to me, refused to look up an order and when I called was told that that was store policy and that he should have done it. Went as far as insulting my physical appearance and humiliating me. I guess God forbid I run errands on my one day off in sweatpants and no makeup. And then he practically threw my laptop I was trying to return at me after he dropped it on the counter in disgust. It's one thing to refuse a return it's another to go out of his way to show how little he cares for others property and flicking it back at me. If I started going around the store and started smashing laptops against the counters I would have kicked out but you allow your managers to mishandle bought merchandise. He acted like the laptop was covered in shit. I'm not sure if accepting returns personally affect his freaking bottom line but he treated me like processing it was the world's biggest inconvenience to his day and not his literal job. He literally said to me " I'm not going to do anything for you, you can go call customer support and they can deal with you" and rolled. His. Eyes. At. Me. I understand not accepting returns without a receipt but there was absolutely no reason to be treated the way I was by him he was frustrated and rude from the very first second of our conversation and devolved into personal comments on my appearance. I left absolutely fuming and in disbelief at how I was treated.
