Not in the Budget

Black Stapler's company has a philosophy on budgeting: spend as little as possible. Naturally, this philosophy regularly causes problems for The Black Stapler, who tries their best to maintain a professional image for the company to the outside world.

One clever money-saving strategy is to reuse shipping boxes. Any box that enters the building is immediately captured by the shipping department and stashed away for later use. In some cases, this makes sense. But keep in mind that Stapler's company does sometimes ship out equipment and supplies to clients on a fee basis. In other words, these shipments don't take place unless shipping and other costs are paid for by the client.

So the question is: if you were the client... what would your impression of the Black Stapler's company be if you paid for a special order and it arrived in a recycled... toilet paper box?
