OfficeMax Sucks

Matt points out a funny blog phenomenon with the replies to this Overhaulin’ post, where people are acting as though the author of the blog is actually somehow related to the TV show.

I don’t have anything as cool as that, but I’ve been meaning to point out that, judging by the comments, my blog seems to have become the #1 resource for disgruntled OfficeMax customers and employees due to this rant I posted back in January.

    It’s absolutely amazing what people will post when they think that you’re someone famous.

    For instance, people seem convinced that I’m Maury Povich and love to beg me to let them on my show:

    Back in early March, I wrote about the big debit card breach that had taken place and the cover up by the credit card companies surrounding it. Of course, by now we have learned that it seems OfficeMax was keeping PIN numbers from debit cards (among other information they should not have been keeping), and somehow that information was hacked. Well in an ironic twist, I received a new ATM card from Wachovia today, stating that according to VISA it was very possible my debit card information was compromised. Can you believe, it only took them 3 and half months to get me a new card. I guess they just didn’t think it that important.

    Back when I wrote this, it never occurred to me that I use OfficeMax and I was writing about the compromise of my own debit card. Now I have to go back over the last 3 months and really make sure there are no bogus charges there. I am looking forward to reading about the fine OfficeMax had to pay for this incident.

    You are a complete idiot to think that companies do this, you letter writing waste of space it is abundantly obvious that you are a 45 year old unemployed loser that still lives with your mommy if you had worked a legitimate job anytime in you life you would clearly not suck in everyway possible. Move out of your mom’s house, get a job, and for christ’s sake get a life.

    Recently I went to OFFICE MAX. A small roll of brown celophane tape was over $8…. no kidding! There was no brown paper tape with glue on. One tiny roll was $4+. I’ve noticed that everyone reduced the length of the tape dramatically while increasing price dramatically. Are tape producing companies sooooo greedy today? 10 yeasrs ago I used to buy a big healthy roll of brown sticky tape for $1 per roll. Now the same but much shorter roll is $4 to $8. Crazy? I think many items sold at places like STAPLES or OFFICE MAX are a total rip-off. And the staff is often ignorant and even rude.

    Beware of some companies in the US. They will charge you many times more than your original order is in hopes that you will never notice the charge on your bank statement. If you notice, they apologize and issue a refund, which takes a bunch of days to receive, but they will keep on trying even with the same customer.

    you are absolutely right. officeamx has many stores in arizona have done that with cheap warranties on small items or the best one is strong arming the customer to buy it or couldn’t return it at all. both of which are not solid options. many have been fired, many more to come.

    Dude, I totally hate OfficeMax. Shitty customer service, people have bad attitudes. Went to a store in Detroit and almost got assaulted by the security guard. The think OfficeMax is racist.

    I work for Omax. Trust me when I say that we do not have the customers best interests at heart. Everything from Max Assurance to our fake leather chairs are a ripoff. Spend your money on quality! We only strive to give the appearance thereof.

    OfficeMax does suck ass. I can honestly vouch for the rest of the workers. I never stepped foot in there, until I started work there. lol. Well I dont hate the store itself just the people who think they are the top shit. like for example Brad this person operates in a whole new level and expect the rest of the store to follow. yeah sure. in time. But damn it. the way they treat us workers like we’re shit, nothing compared to them. Ever heard of Club Max? well thats a little all expense paid trip to god knows where for all the “Product Replacement Plans” we sell! not only does the district manager but the top 13 store managers also, plus the assistant manager get 1,000 dollars cash. These pricks get a free ride off our sweat. Fuck that. If I totalled my “PRP” It will show how much money I brought into the company from my sweat. year to date I made 28,000 out out of that much I probably received a little over 3,000 which is before taxes.

    I think the only reason why some of the workers are still working for OfficeMax is because they’re stupid. Im glad that I left that fuckin hell hole. Brad you suck, and the rest of the management team, fuck you guys for treating me and everyone like shit.

    I went into OfficeMax the other day and there was a promotion in one of there adds and I wanted to buy this shredder and I was approached by this sales person who kept asking me personal question about why Im here? and what Im looking for in a shredder. I told the guy I just want one for my home/office and he showed me the most biggest most expensive one there. Im a 22 year old gal from Kula. I dont need a $200 dollar shredder. then he showed me the one below that. so I got fed up with his work down technique and I asked to speak to a manager. Low and behold. I made the wrong descision and this guy with rings around his eyes kept asking me the same question. he never gave me the chance to speak. so I told him nevermind and I’ll find one on my own and he kept by my side, he then pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and pitched this warranty, he told me that I wouldn’t be able to return the shredder if it was broken. I asked him to leave me alone and he did. Im guessing they were talking about me over their walkie talkies and when I carried my $70 dollar shredder to the cashier and this older woman asked me if i wanted to buy their warranty when the damn product is already covered by the maker. I thought to myself and said *Wow* they even have grandma trying to scam me. OfficeMax is a brain washing/scamming/ price gauging store. Shoppers Beware!!!
