When I was Resource NCO, I never shopped at Staples

[MrScorpio]

It was my job to purchase office supplies for my unit. Staples' prices were never competitive enough for me to get a decent deal on bulk purchases. I always received better service and deals with a couple of the local, non-chain suppliers.

If I wanted more bang for the buck, Staples was the last place to go.

So Fuck Stemberg, Staples, Bain and Romney.

1. My company has found the same thing to be true.

We buy from a local office supply store, and we get competitive prices and great service.

Staples overestimates itself. Pride cometh before the fall, Stemberg.

2. Good for you MrScorpio! Too bad more people don't know this.

Spread the word.

3. I went to a Staples a couple years ago.

Was not impressed with the selection, service or prices. Haven't gone back.

Now I have another reason not to go back.
