Is it me or is Staples getting stubborn day by day for PM's

[Revenge786]

I've noticed, the Staples that once used to happily do price matches, is becoming more and more stubborn every day.

what do u think ?

I don't think. It makes my head hurt.

Whats a Staples?


(of course I'm kidding, you idiots)

That's cuz the more you price match...the less they earn...plus a lotta people've gotten wise and start pricematching really cheap internet stores so staples actually loses more per pricematch than before.

If you read the Moderator post they have in hot deals, they don't approve of all the "fake" pricematch strategies anymore, which was what a lot of people were doing.

BTW, if you really want to pricematch, a really effective strategy is to call at night, preferably 3:00 or 4:00 AM. They will PM anything, cause they just want to go back to sleep. (depends on their time zone.) Not sure if this actually works, but someone was talking about it in Hot Deals awhile ago.

its because they are getting abused!

I guess more people are taking advantage of the price match/coupon combo and they're taking steps to prevent or at least hinder this.

Abuse and it really depends on the CSR.
