Without fail they always have a two pack of black, and are always missing one of the color toners for my printer. I stopped going to the store and order from them online now. Last time I went it seemed like they could cut their sq footage in half bc half the store was empty.


Ink and toner sales account for roughly 25% of a retail store’s annual business. When I left the company, they wanted us to start pushing monthly ink/toner subscriptions to customers. I told my bosses that I wouldn’t push that at all, because my store receives zero credit from e-commerce sales direct to home. The only time the store receives credit would be if you placed an online order and chose pickup in store

Sounds like they still have customers. .

I don't think I've set foot in one for 15 years though. I really only went there to make copies and rarely have to do that anymore.

Do people still have that Office Depot button? Might have actually been Staples but question stands.

They just closed a crapload of stores too. No bankruptcy filing will help them

If she can’t assemble something that simple, $50 is far too low a price to ask.

Just checked and all the Houston schools go back August 12th.

I always remember the awesome feeling of putting on my polyester uniform and stepping outside into 100% humidity & 89 degrees to "smile" for Mom's first day of school picture.
