How about when you open the last box you buy another box? No red ink involved.

A 3 or 4 staple warning isn't really a warning, it's just a way to emphasize that you're an idiot who just ran out of staples.

Also, anecdotal story/confession here -- I stole a full stapler and 4 boxes of staples from a job that fired me 17 years ago, and I have yet to run out of staples. I should have stolen a red sharpie to remind me.

Maybe staple work differently in different places, but I’ve never found a stapler that takes a whole box of staples at once.

Why do you have to wait until the last staple to re-up?

Do you wait until the last piece of toilet tissue to buy more?

The posted LPT was about knowing when you’re about to run out of staples in the stapler. If you don’t fill the stapler with a whole box at a time then your comment is an ‘and’ to the original LPT but you’re acting like it’s an ‘or’. Why?
