Name Badges at Beloit Staples - 2000 to 2016

Here's a photo of the name badges I wore at Staples​ in Beloit over the course of nearly 16 years. The store's Grand Opening was the first Saturday of March in 1999 (March 6th). The store closed exactly 17 years later, on another first Saturday of March - March 5th, 2016.

Somehow, I became keeper of the ribbon cutting photo from April 20, 1999. I didn't realize until I went to take this photo that I started working at Staples exactly ONE year (to the day!) after the store's Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce​ ribbon cutting ceremony.

Included are examples of the last two polo shirts I wore to work as CSL and MTS. Also included is the "Make More Happen" t-shirts the company issued last year when Staples changed from "Make it Easy" to "Make More Happen." (I preferred it "Easy" when we had "More" but that's a whole other story.)

These are all the name badges I wore over the course of my so-called-career at Staples except one. That last name badge is plastic and gets filled with whatever your title is via a printed insert so my "Mobility and Technology Supervisor" badge was replaced with "Certified Tech" in September of 2015 when my availability changed to 2-days a week and I ended 15 years as a "Lead" at Staples in Beloit.
