Anybody care to speculate what the landscape will look like in 5-10 years? And what it will mean to the 5X office supply bonus.
LOL...silly question. How do you know the 5x on office supply bonus will last for another 5-10 years? I think the 5x office supply bonus will either be nerfed or cut long before Staples files for bankruptcy if ever. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
