  • The terms of this program on the Staples.com site, which servers the USA market, stipulate U.S. stores.


    Staples® Recycling Program (“Program”)

    Terms and Conditions (“Terms”)

    In an effort to reduce waste going to landfills, Staples has created the Staples Recycling Program which offers Customers the option of bringing in select items to Staples® U.S. stores

    This Program is available to all Staples customers that bring in eligible recyclable items. Customers who are 18 years of age or older with a valid U.S. mailing address and a valid email address may enroll in the Staples Easy Rewards™ program to earn points for eligible recyclable items that they recycle with Staples. The Program applies to Staples U.S. stores only.


    I would describe the recycling information at Staples.ca, which I found at https://www.staples.ca/a/content/sustainability, as no more than a collection of brochure-quality blurbs about their recycling services’ availability, with no information about an incentive program; I see no mention anywhere of paying the customer for bringing in recyclable items. That’s not to say that Staples.ca mayn’t just be slow to update with new information. If such an incentive-based initiative is in effect at Canadian stores too, that’s great news.



  • Indeed! Apparently I too have unwittingly been growing my collection since 1991. Of course back then we just called it “buying my music”.

    I would show it off to that community but it’s just stacked in cardboard boxes (alphabetically, I’m not an animal), not nicely curated and organized and dusted weekly in pride of place. Also, I’ve never counted, but it must number in the several hundred; I wouldn’t want to overwhelm any fledgling enthusiasts there. ;)







  • c. Negligently failing to warn or adequately warn Plaintiff of the gander of the mens’ room toilet…

    Well, there you go: summary judgment to the Plaintiff. If you don’t tell your customers that there’s a fucking HATEFUL COBRA TURKEY keeping jealous possession of the Mens’ loo, like some latter-day dragon guarding its hoard, you deserve to be sued at the very least, and just for starters until greater commensurate punitive action can be determined.


    @[email protected] , this was initially to be a playful ribbing of what I’d thought was a typo oversight, on your part, of transcribing text from the court document.

    But seeing that it’s the actual text of the filing absolves you, and makes the typo oversight that much funnier.

    Florida never fails to entertain and disappoint.




  • Why would you assume anything? The answer is provided in the article itself. Why can so few people be arsed to read the information provided before leaping to an attempt at pithy commentary?

    The group … views Satan not as a supernatural being but as “a literary figure that represents a metaphorical construct of rejecting tyranny over the human mind and spirit.” The club’s programs, they say, focus on “science, critical thinking, creative arts, and good works for the community.”

    (Boldface mine. “science” comes to us from Latin’s “scientia”: knowledge)

    The irony of assuming something instead of learning/confirming it from the information provided, as regards an article about an organization whose stated focus is on knowledge and critical thinking, is disappointing.

    Fixed:

    They drew bags under the basilisk’s eyes for the Harry Potter Lego set; [sic] as if it’s too tired from being woken up by kids. It’s the most relatable thing ever the skin under their eyes actually looks like that. It does.
