thebitterguyOkay, so, apparently Grand & Toy office supplies has decided to rebrand themselves as G&T, counting on alcoholic office managers to send them more business, I guess.
They're a useful store, I guess, if you have some cash to spend and you have some office supplies you need.
But, seriously, that name. It's just MEAN. You know what it's like to be a child and go into one of these brightly lit store and wander around while dad gets a box of pens and wonder "seriously, I see all this Grand stuff, but where's the toys?"
Utter cruelty on the part of the corporation.

I get as "ooooh, I have to have one of those..." as an adult in G&T as I ever did as a 10 year old in the toy section of K-Mart.
Oh and is the alcoholic reference to G&T a Gin & Tonic? I never would have made that connection myself.
