You may just think this is just a picture of a normal stapler sitting on a normal desk, however, it is much, much more than that. This stapler here, is probably the worst trick in all of Point Park -- other than the renovation of our university (because we all know that won't happen until our grandkids are old enough to attend college). This very stapler sits on the desk of the computer lab in Thayer on the second floor, and although it looks promising and convenient, it is completely the opposite. 95% percent of the people that attend this university go to the computer lab 5 minutes (or less) to class just to print out a paper or an assignment they need for class. For some reason, every professor at this university is very strict about having your paper stapled (yes, grades have been threatened...and lives. Just kidding. But seriously, threatened.) So imagine 95% of the university going to this computer lab before class to print out an assignment that needs to be stapled, and 95% of the time, they are disappointed (or mostly pissed off) because the stapler is out of staples. Now I know as a private university we shell out a whole lot of money for tuition, the least they could do is replenish the stapler every now and then. It's probably because we waste a lot of money on really important things like hand sanitizer machines that hang on every square inch of our university's walls. And I know sharing is kind, but cmon, when you press the button to release the hand sanitizer, you get enough for 6 friends. If our school spent a little less money on hand sanitizer and a little more for staples, (that are actually put into the stapler) many students would be a lot happier and a little less sweatier when they arrive to class. CVS is 2 blocks away, cmon now.
