Staples the Office Superstore

Being more of an artist and someone interested in computers, Staples is naturally a very appealing store to me. I went here to pick up some good drawing pencils and a folder and ended up browsing the store for a long while. This Staples in particular is a very nice one. There’s a section with some clearance items and some $ 1 – 5 deals of various useful and nifty products. There’s all sorts of office supplies, from snacks to folders, writing supplies to organizers, calculators, clipboards and staplers (of course), chairs and desks, poster boards and art supplies, printers, shredders, and computers. I go here for school supplies, honestly, though. It’s also great for teachers.
My one complaint is that for some reason some of the workers look quite intimidating. Also, it’s rather eerily empty every time I go there, which is around the afternoon or evening, but maybe that’s just my fault.
Overall, if you’re an artist who likes picking out pens or pencils for your drawings, this is a great place to go to. If you’re looking for things to decorate your desk, this is where you should shop at.

Solid 4 stars. Everything was good and as expected but I bought ink replacement cartridges for my printer and they were quite high in price. I have got them in the past from Office Depoe and they were about $ 20 less for a store brand name. The biggest thing I don’t like is being greeted at the door with them trying to sell something such as a store credit card or rewards card. I would rather be greeted at the door with someone who can point me in the right direction so I can get what I want and get out. Oh, by the way, the ink cartridges are not with the office supplies, but by the printers. It kind of makes sense but then shouldn’t they also sell pens, pencils and paper next to the desk and chairs? It just seems like office supplies should be in one area while furniture and equipment should be in another. It would be easier to find things.
Checkout was good and the gal was very nice and fast. Cute too if that counts for anything.
Please get rid of the person by the door selling credit/​reward cards!

Staples motto, «Well that was easy,» is not the first phrase that comes to mind when I use the self-​service copy center at this Staples. There always seems to be something wrong with the copiers — out of paper, jammed paper, charging me for blank prints. It’s always a bit of a nightmare when I make copies here (which I have to do once a month for meeting programs).
I will say that the customer service here is quite good and the copy center staff has always been willing to help when I’ve had issues. They have even refunded wonky prints when requested. The store is generally clean and well stocked, so overall my rating is a solid 4 stars, but only 1 star for the self-​serve copies.
