Office Depot Brand Stinks
I'm working on graduate school applications this month. So I went to Office Depot to get some mailing envelopes. I'm standing there in front of 10 brands of regular envelopes. Hmm, what's a good brand? Heck, Office Depot brand envelopes has to be good. I mean, Office Depot specializes in office supplies. If it sucked, the whole Office Depot name would be tainted. So I got the box of Office Depot envelopes.
I get home and take a handful out of the box as I'm preparing to send letters of recommendation materials to people. You know, the back of the envelope has a bunch of seals to keep the envelope together. I noticed one envelope had a loose seal near the corner. I pulled at it gently and the whole thing fell apart. Shoddy gluing. Then I took another envelope and it had the same thing. About 6 of them were the same until I found a few good ones.
Great...now I'm worried that my mail is going to fall apart in the post office machines. Thanks, Office Depot!!!

it's just the chinafication of the world. You should see the Chinese tape we get from our suppliers, it's way too sticky and they put like 5 layers on to make it strong. The Scotch shipping tape we use is at least 20 times stronger.
