So I got some copies to make, new menu flyers for Lee Wing Wah restaurant! Special Chinese New Year specials!
I have to thank Input Method Editor in Windows XP. Chinese input systems are difficult! Nothing beats the intuitiveness of handwriting recognition.
I need to make a few hundred copies. Ok, Kinkos is nearby.
Me: "Can I make an order of a few hundred copies?"
Clerk: "Can I SHOW you how to make a copy on self service machine?"
[Ok, I KNOW how to make copies before that clerk was born. All Kinkos I've been to are reluctant to take business]
Me: "Well I don't have time for that, can I still place an order"
After some fiddling my cost turns out to be $102.02.
Waita minute, I got 3 menus, 200 copies. So 600 copies, even at $0.10 a piece, it should be $60 + tax.
Me: How much is a copy?
Clerk: 11 cents each
It scared the daylight out of me. 11 cents! Even at 11 cents, 600x0.11 is still less than $100.00. I am not bothering arthimetic with the clerk.
Me: I am sorry, I'd like to cancel the order.
I walked a few blocks to Staples.
1. They gladly take orders.
2. It was 8 cents each so my total is just around $50.
There really is no reason at all to go to Kinkos. Poor service. Bad arithmetic. Expensive!
I can't explain why Kinkos is still in business with so many stores. Ok, they have 24 hour stores. How often do you have to make copies late night?
Kinkos ONLY do copies. Staples do more and better at copying.

Kinko's is SO DEAD with inept morons as clerks.
This cannot happen in these economic times. I will take my business elsewhere for I am a vengeful customer.

I am the sort of guy who loves to taste revolutionary stuff. Currently I am building my personalized solar panels. I am managing it all by myself without the assistance of my men. I'm using the net as the only way to acheive this. I ran across a very amazing website that explains how to contruct photovoltaic panels and so on. The web site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.
I am not exactly sure bout how correct the information given there is. If some people over here who have xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the page it would be great and I would extremely appreciate it, cauze I really enjoy solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U people rock.
Thank you for this blog. I think it just saved me some time ...and by the sounds of it...money! :)
