1 year agoOffice Depot sells printers at very low (or even negative) margin, and then inflates the margins on cables, paper, ink, and warranty. If you want the best deal, get the printer from OD, and everything else you need somewhere else. That $20 USB cable they sell costs them $1 and you can get the same or better online for $2.68.
I went to college with a Spanish guy, Milo I watched this exchange.
Girl: “What kind of Spanish are you?”
Milo: …
Girl: “You know, like Mexican or Colombian or Puerto Rican?”
Milo “No no, I’m from España”
Girl: “But like, which country did you grow up in?”
Milo: " España…uh Spain"
Girl: …
Me: “There’s a country in Europe called Spain, its the place where spanish originated, like England is where english originated.”
Girl: “Duh”
Me: “That’s where he’s from.”
Girl: *suddenly realizes how dumb this whole exchange has been and dies of embarrassment.
