I have some fun for any current disgruntled Staples employee. There is a serious and largely unknown
glitch in the
Gift card/
money card process that will allow any employee to create a
gift card for themselves for any amount without paying for it at all. This
gift card will not show up on any report in the system anywhere. Here goes: signon to a register and ring a
gift card for any amount, let's say $500. swipe the card to load it and leave that transaction alone. Go to another register and ring a Snickers bar, subtotal and pay for the Snickers with the
gift card you just loaded at the other register. Go to the previous register and press the VOID key to void the transaction. The purchase of the Snickers will LOCK the $500 amount to the
gift card. When you void the
first transaction, you erase the record of that transaction, but the card is still loaded with $500 because you locked it in at the other register. You will have a $500
gift card for free. The transaction will NOT show up on the post void report, the
gift card report, or the cash over/short report or any other report. You will have a
gift card for any amount you want for free and there will be no record of it. Have fun stealing from those *** at Staples. By the way, this may also work at
Office Depot, that is where I learned of the
glitch several years ago, tried it at Staples just recently and it works there as well. Probably because they use the same vendor to fund and service their gift cards. Pretty cool huh?

The hate we all feel for Staples is evident. One only has to work there to understand, unless you happen to be a flavor of the week for the motley crew of managers. The Bozeman MT store on Max Avenue breaks all reasonable rules of being a decent place to work or shop.

Thanks for sharing this information. I'll be able to forward it to corporate to prevent exploitation of the gift card system.

Congrats for being a thief and jacka**.
Anyone who is stupid enough to try this deserves the jail term they will most likely get. Do you really think the company won't notice?? Even if you're not caught right away, you will get caught. COMPUTERS ALWAYS LEAVE A TRAIL. Duh. Just because it's not on a report doesn't mean it's not there. Not to mention all the security cameras that will see you pulling off this dumb stunt.
