| - There are multiple ways to look at this location.
- The store is huge. I seem to recall them actually enlarging it a few years ago, and frankly, they probably could do with half the space. The one down the street (at Sharon Amity) is maybe a third of the size and they do fine. This one has a ton of unused space. If they do not own it, they are throwing away money. Or they are charging more to make up for it.
- Because of the extra space, you may pay extra. For that, we do not always shop here for supplies. You can find good deals around back to school time, but there are usually quantity limits. So if you need some bulk paper, you might be better off at Wal-Mart. Specialty items however? I prefer Office Depot to Office Max, and there is no Staples that is as convenient to this side of town.
- The staff comes and goes. Literally. Over the months and years I have shopped here, very few stay the same. Understandable. Even if you see the same person, they will likely be very different from one visit to the next.
- On the good side, the rewards program is cool, and you get points back for shopping that you can use on a future visit. That is always nice. They also give points to schools for your purchases, which does not help directly, but is a good thing.
