Tonight is HAPPY HOUR for all the staff at the pub!
Reasons to celebrate include new staff additions Shawn, Hailey, Alysha, Lucas and Nabil.
Oh, and celebration that we stole a nice, six-figure-per-year-in-sales customer away from Grand & Toy!
Grand and Toy is owned by an American company, OfficeMax, so we don't feel as bad as if it was a Canadian company. Seems we have been picking up lots of new customers that were once G&T customers, and the main reason why they tell us is service. With the announcement yesterday that G&T let go 100 small business account managers, I only see the service getting worse. I'm not sure what their long term plans are for Small Business customers, without any account managers to support them.
