Seems like it’s been in the works for a while - OD going, going, gone...
In my small (University) town we have two Staples and an OD.
Staples was set to close some stores (probably did, just not here) - yet OD has been on a skeleton staff for the last six or more months...
NO ONE asks if they can help you - only two employees at the copy ‘center’ and they do all of the selling and refunding and copying...
The Misses and I used to go there and do 20,000+ copies per year in their copy center (occasionally Staples).
Snarky staff at both places - Imagine a $1,000 order and you treat the buyer with disdain - ‘don’t think you can do this again without a day’s notice!’
Now, I have a very good dedicated printer and we print on our own schedule (we do not spend four hours at OD correcting their atrocious errors) - and save LOTS of money.
Frankly, I hardly EVER buy products at Staples or OD anymore. We have a Wal-Mart, a Costco and the internet - all with longer return envelopes, lower prices and better customer service...

Whenever possible, I purchase office supplies at Sam’s Club.
Their prices on supplies like bubble wrap and bubble mailers are MUCH cheaper than Staples. Same with printer paper and file folders.
