Everytime I have to talk to those Phillipine outsource call center staff I cringe. What a waste of time. My business is slowly transferring to Staples and I'll be done with Office Depot in a few weeks. Office Depot has the WORST call centers in the world.

My hope is to furnished this home buying furniture, housewares, and etc., from stores in Costa Rica. I would like to know if there are any American stores in Costa Rica and if you know names of most of the clothing and household stores in Costa Rica?

I have something of a similar tale. On our first visit to CR, we stopped at a Supermercado in San Isidro to get supplies for the week. A young employee noticed our confusion at some of the products. He walked with us the entire time and carefully explained in both English and Spanish what the item was, how it was used and even offered suggestions on cheaper alternatives. After paying, he helped us load our car. I tried to give him a tip, since he had put forth extra effort. He flatly refused saying it was his pleasure. Needless to say, we shop there every time we go down there! Regards, Mark Hi Tim,
