If you're desperate enough to do it, and it's a chain, find the least populated version of the store convenient. Staples in Timbuktu would be perfect. Hit the place a day or two ahead of time and ask the mgr where they're dispensing things. Last time I was crazy enough to fight through Black Friday the sale-day-temps misdirected people like the best gas station attendants.

Unless sales are your hobby, take Lasereth's advice and save the heart attack. Adopt my silicon valley sig:
