Staples worker here.

We're not closing. Amazon Returns are terrible for us.

We get absolutely nothing out of it. Our stores pay for everything; the boxes, tape, shipping, etc.

Nobody got a pay raise out of it either.

Except from compulsive shoppers like me that can't walk into a Staples without buying $100 worth of stuff.

If the store is taking extreme measures like putting a flea market in the center of the store, and you're telling me that's still not profitable, what makes you think Staples is a healthy business? I'm super confused by your response.
