Officemax

The service here was the best!
I bought a HP printer here n Rachel was so helpful with info about the many printers
I will defiantly be going here for future needs!

ALL of the employees here are such a pleasure to work with. I come in often to print things and there is usually more than enough people available to help me and I always get treated so well… even if I’m only spending 14 cents on printed document!

Poor customer service. I went in looking for PC operating systems and was pleased to find they stocked Windows 8.1. I looked around for a staff member to ask for assistance and have a few questions answered about the product, but was rudely shunned. There were 5 employees in one aisle chatting and not one of them offered help.

It’s weird dropping into OfficeMax during the morning hours — always a motley collection of the self-​employed stocking their home offices. I spent about six months as one of them when I went out on my own a couple of years ago. I finally had to get an office in town after my personal hygiene started suffering and I began ordering stuff online just so that the UPS truck would roll around and I’d see at least one live human during the day while TL was off at school.
I was seriously losing my shit.
I don’t usually do the office supply shopping now, but it was on me this morning to pick up some printer supplies and tri-​folds on my way into the office. There they were — the middle-​aged guys with their three-​day beards, grease-​stained T-​shirts, shorts, flip-​flops, baseball caps… yeah, it wasn’t that long ago that I was one of them.
I walk up to the check-​out line where Self-​Employed Guy – he’s about 50 – is talking to Cashier Chick – she’s about 20 – while she scans his office supplies. And she’s saying, «…my Mom’s is my favorite. It says, ‘If you’re going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair.’» He laughs, she laughs. I don’t know if they were talking about bumper stickers, or T-​shirts, or lower-​back tattoos.
But, WTF?
See you again in six months or so, OfficeMax.
