* '''2006-10-28''', from {{woozle}}: I went into this store a little before noon, trying to find tubes for shipping posters ([http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=444942&N=251660&An=browse this] would have been ideal, but there were plenty of alternative possibilities).

:So I dropped off my used ink cartridge and went to the [[Office Max]] at [[New Hope Commons]] instead, where they did at least have one of the kind of tube I needed and the shipping supplies department at least didn't look like it came from Soviet Russia. I suppose I could have asked again, but it didn't seem likely that Office Depot would be able to pull additional tubes out of thin air &ndash; I should note that I had been to that area of the store several times in the past half-year or so looking for poster tubes, and it had always looked about that empty.<br />
