My company's advertising disturbs me.

I work at Staples.

This is their latest advertising campaign.

I'm not sure my brain has fully recovered from it.

The fortune cookies amuse me, though.

The wall commercial was hilarious.

Have a very nice day.

What exactly does your company sell? 'Staples' sounds like a stationery company, and this seems to be ridiculously elaborate to sell stationery.

Yes, it's a stationary chain with crappy lines and selection.

Staples is an office supply company. Paper, computers, pens, desks, briefcases, chairs, anything you might need for an office.

Didn't have the time to go now through all the clips, but I like the "Wall" one pretty much ... I don't find anthing disturbing on it

As a Cashier, I take personnal insult to that statement. The only time I've ever had a person wait more than five minutes was in back to school season, or when one of the idiot managers decided it was a good idea to have only one cashier on duty.

Fucking morons.

Sorry.

Here, I could be waiting five or more (often more than five) minutes from just getting on line to the register and back to school? Forget about it. You'd be waiting forever. Then of course there are times when they just put a full stop to get the manager or a more experience associate to fix a problem that occurs taking more time.
