I went into my store on my day off today (well, technically yesterday) to make a color copy (I was making waterslide decals; need a laser machine to do that). While I was there, the copy cetner specialist directed me to look at the black & white machine to the right of the color machine.
It had an Out of Order sign on it.
Me: OK, it's out of order. So? I wasn't planning to use it.
CPC S: Open the lid......
*raises lid*
Me: Whoa!!!!
The platen glass was cracked in five places, with the cracks going all the way across. Totally destroyed.
Apparently, some numbskull was making copies out of a book (which is a no-no in and of itself for copyright reasons, unless you are a teacher making copies from a textbook) and in trying to flatten out the spine of the book so the entire page woudl be copied, he leaned so hard on the lid that he broke the glass.
.......
......
Needles to say, he was not made to pay us for his stupidity. Seriously.....I know this is a little hackneyed, especially coming from me, but if I were a manager there when it happened, I'd give the guy two choices: 1) pay usin full the cost to repair the damage he caused, or 2) get banned for life. After all, this goes far beyond say, accidentally knocking over and breaking a glass jar at the supermarket. This guy, through an act of incredible stupidity (come on, who the hell doesn't know that leaning on glass can break it?) that he should not have been attempting in the first place caused major damage to a very expensive piece of store property that will easily cost several hundred dollars to repair, not to mention the potential revenue loss from having that machine out of service for however long. "Keeping the custoemr happy" is in no way worth it, since this far outweighs whatever revenue he's generating in $0.07 copy sales.
idiot......
