Strange Comment of the Day

March 17, 2008 by WendyB

“Enjoy!” — Staples employee, after ringing up my purchase of two padded envelopes and one roll of packing tape.

I’m lovin’ it!

    Haha, I feel like it may just be something they said without even thinking about it. Gotta love it.

    The big question is, what was your response?

    ENC, I automatically said “Thank you” to her automatic “Enjoy.” But is it really possible to enjoy anything from Staples? They should switch their automatic comment to “Have a nice day.”

    Now if you would’ve purchased bubble wrap I would understand.

    Good question! I believe it might be possible to enjoy the giant bags of candy at the impulse-buy section at the checkout counter, but maybe that’s just me.

    ^^True. Why do they have candy there? I’ve never understood it. I hate our local “office superstore” with a passion. Any store like that doesn’t work out in Manhattan. There’s not enough real estate so it’s crazy crowded and doesn’t have enough products. The lines are always out the door. I definitely do not associate that place with any kind of enjoyment!

    Oh Wendy, I’m been working at this place where we sell things like that and I could never say to someone enjoy it hahahaha
    “Please, enjoy this pencil”
    hahahahahaa
    Big kisses for you Wendy, I’m so busy that I can almost post on my own blog!

    I have to say, I enjoy the smell of Scotch tape.
    It smells like presents….

    as someone who just opened two of your padded envelopes within the last few hours, let me add that “OHHHH I DID!”

    now if you bought a fluro highlighter I would understand…what’s not to ‘enjoy’ about two padded envelopes one roll of tape and a fluro highlighter – hours of fun!

    ps I’ve finally figured out blogger xxx

    At least they didn’t say “Bon Appétit”

    March 17, 2008 at 9:45 pm

    Nice to see you Imelda Matt.
    LOL @ Craig.

    I don’t know…I think I often enjoy my purchases from Staples, but maybe I’m the only one buying Crayons and presentation paper.

    work makes you say stupid things, my work makes me say, “my pleasure”
    I started to say, “I have to say, my pleasure”

    It’s sort of like saying “You too!” when the cab driver drops you at the airport and says “Have a good flight.”

    I would have started laughing right there. Buuuut, maybe that’s because my brain is mushy from another 12-hr workday 🙂

    my response, in a dead serious tone: “Yes I will.”
