It's almost surprising that they stock any optical media at all.
I can't imagine there's much of a market for it these days.

I always see DVD+R at the local Wal-Mart, in spindles of 100 and
sometimes smaller packages as well. They may be putting less out
than they used to, but there's always some there.

Several years ago, while I was experimenting with DVD+R vs DVD-R, I
found that +R gave me more trouble playing back on various set top
players. I don't remember off hand any computers giving me trouble
reading either disc.. I do remember having issues ranging from
freezing outright to skipping to not playing/recognizing the disc at
all using set top players. The same players which would throw a fit
with +R behaved normally with -R created from the same source.

BTW, I completely forgot the last time I saw blank T-120 (VHS) or
L-750 (Beta) tapes there.

VHS blank tapes sold in packs of five were at the local Wal-Mart (for
me) about two weeks ago. I think the Beta tapes are sold in packs of
3, but I could be mistaken. I've also seen blank cassette tapes.

An Emergency Call Centre worker has been fired in Toronto much to the
dismay of her colleagues, who were unhappy with her dismissal.
It seems that a caller dialled 911 from a cell phone stating, "I'm
depressed and lying on a railway line so that when the train comes I
can finally meet Allah."
To which the call centre employee replied, "Remain calm and stay on
the line."
