Empty Staplers Shit Me!

Doesn’t it shit you when you go to staple some pages together and the stapler is empty? Me too, but what to do about it?

I was in the bank today and the woman helping me went to staple some pages together for me and her stapler was empty, you could tell it shit her. I told her how much that shits me too and suggested they should make see-through staplers. What do you think? It works for me, especially where you share a stapler with other people, they could see it’s empty and should, should, fill it up for the next user.

But, when you can’t see through it, if you use the last staple, you don’t really know, do you. Should we expect the stapler user to open it after each use and check how many staples are left? If there are two staples left, should this be replaced? What would the threshold be?

Alternatively, what about a stapler that has a storage area for new strips of staples, at least that way, you could fill an empty one quickly and if the storage area is getting a little low, fill it up.

I’m not sure there’s a good solution here without a technology improvement. Does anyone know if see-through staplers exist, or some with new strip storage facilities?
