Store theft
When people steal things from a particular Office Depot “location”, even in a chain of stores, this causes that particular location to have to recoup the loss. They raise the prices on everything and you end up spending more for the same item. Their are ways to beat this however as they always price match. This is one loop hole many don’t think about. Another is to go online and find office depot coupons which often give you a good price on the item. The third way is to actually find coupon codes, a digital form of coupon for free shipping mostly, and order the item online at the “online price” which doesn’t usually include the recoup “tax”.
