Staples -does- sell staples. I bought a box of Staples staples yesterday.

My problem is that EVERYTHING in the store says “Staples”. Even the boxes of paperclips. Which come in boxes that look like boxes of staples.

they’re on the first half of aisle 5 on the left hand side. right under the staplers that are on display, which are slightly to the left and down from the big sign that says “5 – PENS/PENCILS – STAPLERS – GLUE.” well, its less glue and more a wide assortment of adhesives including glue, but also things like tape and rubber cement. We also have rubber bands on that aisle, and for those of you wondering, the back half is art supplies (left hand side) and learning tools for younger children such as flash cards and work books.

Its the staples as in the staples of life; things you need, not staples like the metal ones sued to bind 2 things together.

This would be funnier if Wal-Mart was spelled Wall-Mart, but it’s not. I guess you’d have to call it Dor-Mart.

I always wanted to open up a hardware store next to a Wal-Mart and call it Door-Mart, at least until i got sued for it.

Wow, this is lame. I worked at Staples and despite the aisles being clearly marked, if you still couldn’t find the staple/stapler aisle all you had to do was ask an associate. Whoever made this graph was trying to be clever but they just look like a moron. They would have been better off with a WalMart joke (they don’t sell walls! Harhar!)

LOL WTF? Have you even been to one? Why are you even complaining?

The purpose of STAPLES is to be a Business + Stationery supply store…
STAPLES is not an exclusive supplier of unique staples. They carry many more kinds of staples than other average retailers do, but dont expect them to carry everything. And as a matter of fact, in STAPLES where I work, we have almost half of the whole Aisle dedicated to various staplers and staples… And in case we do not have a particular “unique” kind of Staple that you are looking for, you can always special order it…

This Graph deserves -1, and I honestly dont see why u are bitc*in about STAPLES… If you cant find the Aisle where the staples are then try reading, not making lousy graphs…

Maybe people would find the staples if they went on the right f-ing aisle, adhesives. The solution to this problem: *read signs*

I have a big, 150 sheet, electric stapler. Lights dim and the table jumps when the paper hits the switch. It doesn’t use standard sticks of staples. It uses a flat coiled belt of wire segments and folds them into staples as it uses them. I checked every store and internet supplier I could find for refills and the only place that had them was STAPLES.

I work at staples and people complain all the time because they can’t find actual staples because every thing says staples on the box. Glad I work EasyTech and not office supplies

One time my boss went to the office supply cabinet and said “Why don’t we have any paperclips? There’s nothng but staples in here!” When I looked, we had plenty of paperclips, but they all said “Staples” on the boxes because that’s where we bought them.

A staple can be either a mechanical binding agent or a necessity. You could argue that the mechanical binding agent is staple of binding… in which case the common staple is a staple carried by Staple’s.

And if it were being used in a “horse house” you might say that in the stable, there was staple staple sold by Staple’s.

You could, but I never would.
