There's a big sign at the entrance that advertises MILITARY DISCOUNTS SEE ASSOCIATE INSIDE FOR DETAILS. I'm a military dependent. So I asked. Here's the lowdown...military discounts range from 1-10% on certain but not all items and on some but not all services...EH??? Yeah... I was totally confused when the lovely sales associate tried to explain it to me. And I tried to get her to explain it to me several different ways. Basically, you just have to shop or use print/fax/copy service and take your chances. At the checkout counter, the sales associate will input some information into her handy dandy OfficeMax slot machine. Wave her magic wand. Then hopefully 3 cherries will pop up and you win a discount! Alas, I came up a loser today. No discount on my all-in-one printer :( So while I appreciate that OfficeMax is supportive of the military, I don't understand the discount system. Should it be that confusing? Other than that, I like the store...it's A-OK. The sales associates here are very good about greeting each customer and helping the customer find whatever he/she needs. The store is very clean and well organized. It's never too busy. So I can just pop in, get what I need and be on my way. If you are military though and you enjoy gambling, come on by and see if you can score a discount. Good luck! read more

I have been shopping at this location for years. I am amazed they are still open. Everytime the store is empty of customers, perhaps one or two in the entire store. Today, I there to purchase an office chair and after making my selection I roll it to the front of the store. The assistant manager tells the cashier she can sell me the display model, but it rang up an incorrect price. This particular chair was on sale and their dispaly even had a matching model number and an exact picture of the chair. Same model number, exact picture! Now Kenneth the store manager gets involved and refuses to acknowledge the mistake. In addition he adds they will not sell me the display chair, that I must purchase a chair in a box and if I want they will put it together for an additional charge. Though Kenneth was not rude, he was not logical. To not examine the display/picture/model number and sale price and then to throw in they will not sell it to me anyway made no sense. read more
