Office Depot — Attraction in Lake Charles

After I found just the right chair salesman, Doug, went out of his way to see how I could get the chair as the store did not have it in stock nor was it available in the warehouse. When I thought all was lost, he asked me to check with him the next day as a shipment was arriving. When I called the next day, indeed the chair had arrived and he had set it aside for me.

I feel the store should've contacted me about the poor quality in the first place instead of printing 125 bad programs and gave me the option to resubmit. It all worked out in the end, which is why I...
