Office Depot or Office Max?

It is almost the end of the school year and I wanted to do something inexpensive and fun for my kids. So, they are each getting an award for a different thing. For example, I have best smile, best scientist and so on. I think the kids are going to love it. Anyway, I spent a while getting the awards ready today by creating the myself on powerpoint. They looked awesome. I head to office depot in Las Colinas at 1:20 and they say they can't get to it right away but they would have it ready at 3:00. I wasn't too thrilled by this but ok...I leave and come home to take a nap! I wake up at 2:45 and head back up there. I walk in the store and the lady says, in not a too nice of tone, I haven't gotten to your stuff yet! I'm like ok, fine! I walk around the store and look around. An HOUR passes and still nothing. I start creeping around the checkout area and she says ok, let me get it! She sticks in my flash drive and says, "Is this a PDF?" I say yes! She says, "Oh, we can't open PDF. We don't have Adobe." In my head I'm thinking, what? You don't have Adobe and your a computer/office supply store! So I say nothing and walk out. I am beyond frustrated. I come home and am so upset. I wanted to get these printed for my kids so I would be prepared. I decide to go to office max. I know that would be the only thing that would make me feel better! So, I go back to Las Colinas to office max. I walk in and am greeted by a person who asks what I need. I tell him that I have a PDF document on a flash drive that I need printed on card stock. He says, "OK! Walk around the store a little and I'll have it ready in about 5 minutes!" Wait...What? It is that easy? You mean, I didn't have to waste 3 hours of my life at office depot? I am shocked! So, I walk around the store and find some reusable straws to buy and silver sharpies. I go back to the counter to pay and my stuff is waiting for me! I look at the finished product and am beyond excited!

So, maybe not every office depot is bad, but the one I went to today sure was! I will definitely be choosing office max over them next time! And I think that my kids will like the awards! Maybe it will entice them to put some positive in their life!!! Have a great night!
