Active Imgination or Hijinks at Office Max?

Have you visited the Office Max Waikele location recently? Maybe it’s just my active imagination at work, or is there some kind of hijinks going on at this location?

I got a bad vibe when I was there the other week. Most of the employees are local looking, but the management guys are not. They’re definitely not from Hawaii and really stick out. Maybe this is just part of Office Max’s management training program, moving managers to various locations. But these “outsider” managers seemed especially suspicious keen of things going on.

What kind of things were going on? Probably nothing and just coincidental but… employees at a register talking amongst each other then as customers came up to check out, the register “mysteriously” rebooted. Then there’s the same employees handing other employees Office Max gift cards. And then there’s my “new” membership to Office Max Perks which mysteriously has a purchase registered on it. While I won’t dispute a $12 credit on this account, why does a supposedly new account have transactions already on it.

From a recent purchase and membership to Office Max Perks, I’m supposed to get a $50 credit. Now I wonder about that.

Anyone else get bad vibes from Office Max Waikele?
