We have b&w copiers on the 2nd and 3rd floor, and color copiers on all floors. Due to the City always going with the lowest bidder, our copiers arn't working all the time.
About a week ago this person comes up to me on the first floor.
EW1: I need someone to hel' me make a copy.
me: you have to go to the 3rd floor.
EW1: I don' have no money. Can someone make it for me?
me: Sorry, you have to bring your own money.
EW1: can you call Fred? He made one for me las' time.
me: you have to go to that line and ask them to call Fred.
I don't see Fred, the supervisor for Circ, ever helping our patrons, so maybe last time she made a stink and he was called up.
Anyway, she shouldn't expect people to give a shit about her getting a form, is she has no money.
About 2 months ago, our copiers weren't working. This guy needed to make copies from the Dallas Business Journal Book of List. My cw said she would make the copies for him, so she goes to our workroom and does that. She tells him that she was able to make legal size copies, and he was greatful for that. Now I don't know if he paid her.
He comes back a month latter. I do have to say he was very polite, but was an EW.
EW2: Hi, last time someone made legal size copies of some pages from this Dallas Business Journal Book of List. She had to use the copier in your workroom. Can you do that for me?
Me: I'm Sorry, no.
EW2: I will pay for them.
Me: last time the copiers weren't working. Now they are.
EW2: But I want them legal size.
Me: YOu just have to copy them letter size.
He goes t o the machine.
Me: there is a legal size button you can press.
EW2: Thanks.
God knows not only is there a sign on the wall saying there are letter and legal size copies, and buttons on the copier, one for legal, one for letter.
This is why I hate going the extra mile. It sucks that the copier didn't work that day, but as soon as you do it once for them, they expect you to make copies for them all the time. He was polite, and not sucky that way, at least.
