re: #40 BongCrodny

Do these guys ever factor in the layoffs at the mom and pops they put out of business?

It’s guess it’s nice that Staples created, to swipe Talking Point Detective’s description, “thousands of low paying jobs,” but I wonder how many local office supply companies went belly up when Staples came to town.

I kind of vaguely remember those “mom & pop” stationers as being places that never had the stuff you wanted, and always hovering around you like you’re going to steal a rubber band.

Don’t miss ‘em.
