I hear a lot of Staples ads on the radio, but nothing for OD. Are they even attempting to have a successful BTS season? Any exclusive product or pricing to try to compete with Staples or Walmart?

All they do is come in, eat the free food (some even bring their children), get their teachers bags, wait for prizes and leave.
Staples has gotten cheaper and cheaper each year with the teacher appreciation deals.
It dosent seem as much effort as last year. Teachers are ticked off since there is not a teachers appreciation breakfast or any extra quantities on supplies like last year. Try having that conversation with teachers why they are not special this year. "Sorry we honored you, and your services last year, but this year eh not so much". Staples seems to convey that " eh not so much" attitude.
I think OD is following the Staples lead this year since OD will be Staples by year end if the takeover happens.
