Their ink cartages are a nightmare. It started to leak after a few hours. When I took it in to try to exchange it, they wouldn't. They wouldn't take their own brand for an exchange! Then, I spoke to the manager who got irate and snippy with me. After that, I tried to cash my coupons for a free ream of paper, but they wouldn't honor it either! They wanted me to buy something before they'd honor even just one of my coupons. This restriction however is not listed anywhere on the coupon. This is a terrible place! I STRONGLY recommend that you go to Office Max or Staples (neither of which isn't much further away) because there, they'll treat you like a human being.

Words can’t describe how awful the Killeen Office Depot is. From the staff to the in house brand products, nothing is right. Their ink cartages are a nightmare. It started to leak after a few hours....

Home Depot and McLendon both have strenths and weeknesses.

If you have no knowledge of wiring, plumbing, or home improvement in general, and you are intimidated by the giant warehouse type stores, then you may get better service for very basic issues at McLendon (with Home Depot the secret is to find the person who actually manages that department... if you can). But if you know what you are doing and are shopping based on selection and price, then Lowe's or Home Depot is usually the better option. That's why they have displaced the traditional hardware store. People have a tendency to romanticize what they perceive as "Mom and Pop" stores. They nostalgically want to believe local stores are better then the evil big chains. While I have no love for the big guys and like the idea of a local store, I have been consistently disappointed with the level of service/knowledge/selection at the White Center McLenden Hardware. The selection is not great, the store is crowded because the isles are small, and the parking situation is just awful. While the staff is more plentiful then the big box stores, they do seem unmotivated, and they are not terribly more knowledgeable (they may know the difference between a hex key and a pipe wrench, but are not a great help).

Fake reviews
You can tell a lot of these bashing reviews are from competitors... They say things like " I threw the guy out of my house," and "they use subcontractors" but how would someone who said "NO" know...

For the record they do not use subcontractors. I don't work there but I used to. I think these negative reviewers are mostly industrial saboteurs out to hurt their rival. They're fakes.

RIP Pete's Pizza
I'm sad to say Pete's Pizza has left Queen Anne. A developer bought their building and kicked them out.
