Staples pick up

[DOK]

Does anyone else get bugged by Staples management to walk in and out of the "correct" door to save their conversion numbers? The "correct" door meaning the exit door. I always go in and out of the entry door because it's the quickest path to the copy center but they always bug me to go the long way because i mess up their conversion numbers.

What are "conversion numbers"?

What are "conversion numbers"?

Stores track the number of people who come in and the number who end up buying something. "False positives" like the OP affect those numbers.

Screw their tracking numbers. I hate all this information gathering BS that goes on now days. One of our local stores constantly asks you what your zip code is. (I realize why they are asking but as far as I'm concerned it none of their friend in business). I always say I don't have a zip code. Most of the clerks laugh because they hate asking the same question a hundred times a day. I used to tell them it was 12345 until I found out that is an actual zip for some place out east.

My zip code is 98765 and what's funny I only had one person catch it

Just be blunt and tell them none of your damn business.

What's the fun it that , better then yelling at a poor worker

....or you could simply say that you do not wish to provide this information....

Word of advice---do as they say. We have their account as they prefer us over the competition.

Winner! Do what the customer wants. You're paid to take those few extra steps.
In other words- toughen up, butter cup.

Then management should STFU about being over allowed- right?

I'd go there in the weekend and walk in and out 50 times In 10 minutes and not buy a thing.

I would never be that crude to a cashier. They are just doing what they were told to. If given the opportunity I would tell their bosses what I think of their invasion of privacy policy.

Agreed. Retail hourlies catch too much from rude customers. Don't miss that crap at all.

It's really simple. Walk in the in door, walk out the out door. Need a diagram?

Did this years ago at a Cracker Barrel when I first started driving. They wanted me to deliver through the front door and then across the gift shop. Knocked a Christmas tree over with the handcart one day and busted a bunch of ornaments.
Was a backdoor guest after that day!

Yep, it works!

I'm willing to bet that every day hundreds of customers walk in and out through the 'In' door, but Staples management wants to harass the UPS guy for trying to do his job in the most efficient way?

I'd tell them in the most polite, professional manner I could... to lick my balls.

I tell them 90210. Goes right over their head....

I'd politely tell them that too, secretly hoping, she'd take me up on the offer.

I can draw a diagram leading to my original post stating they want me to walk in AND out of the "out" door
