| - Now I'm certainly not in the business of reviewing office supply stores. Having said that I looove office supplies. Label makers! Markers, highlighters, pretty folders and paper trays....*happy sigh*...anyway, I was in desperate need of locating ink for my printer. I tried phoning a few Grand & Toys (who, after hanging up on me instead of picking up the phone properly, being pretty unfriendly and seemed to not give a shit, and then said "Yeah, we don't have any of that in stock. You can try online if you have a credit card." When I asked if they're able to check if any other locations have it in stock, I was told that every Grand &Toy in Canada is closing at the end of June. I guess that explains that. So I looked online, called the Staples nearest me (not terribly close, but hey, I could still ttc it there) where I was helped by a really friendly and informative guy this morning in electronics section, who not only helped me narrow down what I needed, provided useful, money saving information. I headed in and was approached by a really helpful sales guy in store right away. He gave me even more information (like if I get an XL toner, it provides me with more ink - had no idea!) and showed me that they have their own Staples brand so I don't have to pay the price of a kidney to be able to print at home! YAAY! Also, when I was trying to find another aisle, another friendly guy approached me (hands full of stuff, still went out of his way to help) and showed me where I needed to go. Very impressed. Will definitely be back (hoping the Martha Stewart paper trays will go on sale because I don't want to pay $14 a pop for one)!
