You'd think they'd think about such things...
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.

bahahhahahahha sometimes i think that is where the borg thing came from "it is useless to resist us, you WILL be assimilated(sp) {organized religion i mean)
and you have to remember......yu are there BECAUSE you have the knowledge you do. they are coming to you BECAUSE they DON'T. they can't help it....it's all...a MYSTERY to them...i mean, those machines, they're so...SO... COMPLICATED...and...welll omygod wow...it's just so....AMAZING they can.....DOOOO that!
c'mon...they come to u cos you're like a god to them, and well, people get down right speachless (sounding not entirely too bright) around those that can do what they cannot....and, yes, one ends up longing to talk to intelligent life forms...an EXCHANGE instead of having to all the dispensing of wisdom.... *grin*
