No, I never got spiffed by Staples for selling HPs. Our SPIFFS were mostly for selling extended warrantees. I didn't do well with those because I didn't think they were worth buying, and never pushed them.
I have been using HP computers and printers for decades, and took a personal interest in learning about them. I didn't work for the tech department, I was just a front end cashier. I learned about all the Canon, Brother, and Epson products as well. I also became a sales professional for Lenovo during my 7 years as a part-time cashier at Staples.
I knew more about our tech products than most of the people in our tech department, by the time I left. Because it was (and still is) fascinating to me.
Yes I did recommend HP products to my customers if they asked, because I knew enough about ALL the products we sold, to know my preference was HP - and I was able to explain why.
