PrintGolden Ticket: Michael comes up with an idea to put "Golden Tickets" into packages of paper for clients to redeem in for discounts.
Sounds like an old school episode to me. Seriously, someone on this show HAS to get fired soon. It's been a failing paper company for what? At least five years and, by implication, much longer. And now, in this recession, we're still at full capacity?
HOW DOES PAM STILL HAVE A JOB?

Pretty good
the more the ignore the “bit” story arcs, the better the episodes are
Bringing you more-or-less replacement level analysis and commentary to Driveline Mechanics and elsewhere since sometime in 2008.
"big"

and still trying to figure out how jim would lose money
wouldn’t his commision all be paid at point of sale/contract?
yeah... and now does he get the
commission from the “big” sale?
I’m not sleeping until this is resolved in my mind

If he gets a commission on the actual money that DM brings in from his clients...
…then he loses with the 50% discount. But I don’t know if this is accurate for real world sales commissions.

At one point in the middle of the episode someone said it was a discount on their purchases for a year.

i was convinced Wallace was setting Michael up
knowing it wasn’t dwight…
then… he wasn’t?
seriously, they are starting to push the credulity a little bit now as michael still isn’t fired
Supposedly the Scranton branch is the only one with increased sales since the economy went south
When the whole company is losing sales, but one branch is actually doing well, they are unlikely to fire the manager of that branch. Of course the odd and unrealistic thing is how this branch could possibly be doing well.

Jim and Dwight
Both seem to be excellent salesmen for some reason. It could be that companies in Scranton want paper more than other places. Consider the park effects!

Not a bad episode, but kind of generic
Michael as Willy Wonka was amusing, but the storyline kind of died out after Michael’s panic reaction. The head scratching moment for me was the revelation that Dunder Mifflin sells office products other than paper.
Just watched last week's as well
+1 for mentioning Kansas City and our abundance of gay bars.
