Seriously, WTF?

Did someone not inform the customer base that this is Memorial Day weekend?

I have had to deal with, in the last three hours, more customers then I have had in the previous five shifts. Including, of course, the obligatory customer who got a major case of the chapped ass when I told him that no, I wasn't going to stop the large (as in, worth a few grand) job so's I could run his one color copy of... well, really, I can only describe it as a tie-dyed blob. Because the version of the blob he already had was the wrong size (as in, the size of his image file, not the size he wanted it).

This is so they can get all their stuff done before the holiday really starts.

They had all goddamned day.

Seriously, I called around noon to ask one of my co-workers something, and they said it was dead. The people on second shift? They said it was dead until around 8 p.m. And then, all hell broke loose as every single retard in the state descended on the store.

"Why don't you do full bleed business cards while I wait?"
"What do you mean, you don't stock CD label paper?"
"Stop working on that $3000 order and help me find my ass!"

It's calmed down now, but fuck was it ever busy until about 3 a.m.

We figured, what with MOnday off, it would be quiet, as anyone with cash and vacation days would be heading out on Friday. And it was raining. Usually that drives them home somewhere else. But yeah, was busy all day long. And it was dedicated busy who were pissed when we told them that some things would be taken care of on Tuesday. They seemed to think tech support would be working our little fingers off on Monday for them.

Hates them, we do!
