Is there some fucking Biblical injunction about planning ahead?

The two biggest types of problem customers are conventioneers and church people. Guess what's going on this week? That's right, a church convention!

Not only have these people managed to go through, pretty much by themselves, two rolls of lamination (and we're talking easily around 300 square feet of lamination per roll), but they never bring anything in unless they need it in less then 30 minutes.

First clue, O clueless church conventioneers: Just because you're church people doesn't mean we have to drop everything we're doing to help you. Some of the other people in the store are regular customers and have hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of business for us every month.

Two: If you're going to bring in something at 11:30 for a panel at noon, why not bring in what you need to get printed for the 2:00 pm and the 4:00 pm panels as well? It would save you a trip and would actually be fucking intelligent!

Three: No, we don't give you a discount because you're church people. No, there is no discount on lamination. And no, I don't want to convert.

One of these nights, it would be nice to have customers come in the store and not be as stupid as a sack of clams.

Trying to write something in MS Word, only to have it crash the first 5 times I try to save it. It's even more annoying to write the entire thing over in WordPad, then cut-and-paste it to MS Word, to finally have it work, without a problem.

The only plus side is I think the fifth version is the best. Maybe the best thing I've written all year.
