Officemax

If anyone reads, they are going out of business. Go there, you may have to sift but I have found some great deal!

This location is going out of business, so it was a bit of an atypical experience. I was running errands in the area and saw a gentleman standing on the road with an «up to 80% off» sign so I decided to stop in since I am in need of a laptop riser.
After combing the store, I couldn’t find any — hard to say if it was because they had sold out or just don’t carry them in their usual stock. I checked out a couple of other items I could use like a bluetooth keyboard and HDMI cable, but those items have not yet hit mega-​sale status. They’re not bad buys (30% off if I remember correctly), but they still had many in stock so I’m willing to take a gamble on them coming down even farther in price.
The downsides were that I wasn’t able to find a single staff person to ask for help finding what I was looking for and that the registers were clogged up with people — there is no way to exit the store without walking through a register line, so I had to try to muscle my way through all the skeptical folks that seemed to think I was going to cut them in line despite not having anything in hand to purchase. Again, hard to say if this was just due to them cutting staff because the store is closing, or if it’s just how things are run. I’ve popped into Office Max a few times over the years, and there was nothing memorable. The last time was a couple months ago when I needed a laptop case — I was able to find one that didn’t seem to have a corresponding posted price tag and took it over to a register to get it scanned. No one had come by to help us, but it was also the very first shelf upon entering so we didn’t really need a whole lot of assistance.

Worth stopping in if you are looking to score some deals on the cheap before they shut their doors.

Due to the employee giving me incorrect instructions I ended up with one copy that wasn’t sized properly and was still made to pay for it. Even though the employee set the machine up wrong. While it was only 18¢ or thereabouts, that’s still a bit annoying.
2 machines for self-​service, with a full-​service area too. Nothing special, but enough to handle most small copy jobs.
