I don't believe you!

[Dave1982]

Couple things to note right off the bat here.

1) I didn't speak with this customer.

2) He called after the store closed, so he's lucky we even bothered with him.

Guy calls the store, and the closing Tech answered the phone. The guy said he forgot his originals when he was making copies earlier in the day. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but the problem is that unless someone turns in the originals, they usually end up in the trash.

Oh, and the guy had been in at 2:30, nearly seven hours prior.

Nevertheless, the Tech called over to the copy center and asked Jackass if anyone had turned in any originals. Jackass double checked and found nothing, so the Tech got back on the phone and told the guy he was SOL.

And the SC didn't believe him!!

The SC had two points to make:

-He left the originals in the copier, so they must still be there.

-We couldn't POSSIBLY have had THAT many customers using the machines after him, so they MUST still be there.

Rapidly growing frustrated with this nonsense, the Tech put the guy back on hold and had Jackass pick up the line.

Tech: He doesn't believe me.

I don't know what Jackass told him, but he managed to get the guy off the phone in short order, after which he bitched to Captain Jellico about it, and about how much of a moron they guy had been when he was in earlier in the day. Apparently the SC just couldn't accept that we WERE busy, and that CPC was busy, and that someone had either disposed of or absconded with his originals. And thems the breaks with the self-serve area. We are NOT responsible for things you leave behind, especially when you leave them at 2:30 and don't bother to call until after 9PM.

The guy said he'd be in first thing in the morning to personally look for his originals, since they MUST still be there.

The Tech was really pissed that the guy didn't believe him and ranted about it for a bit afterwards.

Tech: What an asshole.

Me: Tech......www.customerssuck.com/board

Tech: Is that a real site?! Are you serious?!

Me: I've personally got 1400 posts on the forum, so yeah, it's real.

Tech: That's like, the ONE thing that's missing from my life!!

[Hobbs]

Will we be meeting Tech then? Is he reading now? :waves: h-hi, Tech...

[Soulstealer]

If the tech does come tell him to bring booze. Has... an initiation gift... that sounds plausible, right?

[Bloodsoul]

Since I lack a printer I'd often use the copier at the local library to make extra character sheets for Dungeons & Dragons using this nice cardboard-like, two-sided sheet I got with the game.

Then one day (many months after my last visit) I noticed I no longer had the sheet; I must've left it at the library, right? I went in one day to ask politely, they found nothing, and considering how long it had been I simply wrote it off as lost forever. Ah, well.

Hell yes! As a matter of fact, I think that Raps should get right on that. All new members must bring alcohol with them! Especially if it's beer or rum......

We could start an approved alcohol list

[BlaqueKatt]

We could start an approved alcohol list

and an approved drunk list-some of us aren't 21(I'm way over but still...must think of the chiiiiilllllldreeeennnnn!)

[Dave1982]

You know what I don't believe?

How quickly my threads seem to veer way the hell

[KiaKat]

*pats Dave*

I feel like as soon as I read a thread it veers off topic (hence my user title), and I tend to like your threads quite a bit...So perhaps you should blame it on me, instead?

[Peppergirl]

Could be worse, Dave. At least your threads are interesting and therefore, responded to.

I, on the other hand, am an unofficial thread killer.

But back to the topic at hand, I wonder if the guy ever came back. He seems like the sort that would throw a big public fit too.

Also, I love your use of the word 'absconded'.

[Andara Bledin]

I've got nothing to say, really.

I'm only posting to make sure that Peppergirl isn't responsible for this poor thread's death.



^-.-^

[ApolloSZ]

Keep the thread alive man!

Oh, and add some good whiskey to that list back there!!

[Jester]

I'll make it really simple and short.

Is it alcohol? It's approved!

Hell, since everyone has different tastes, why not? Sure, I may find gin repulsive, but I am sure there are people here that would find nothing more relaxing than a nice gin and tonic. Whereas demon rum is my poison, I know many people don't like it, etc., etc.

So, back to the approved alcohol list: Is it alcohol? IT'S APPROVED! :CHEERS:

and an approved drunk list-some of us aren't 21(I'm way over but still...must think of the chiiiiilllllldreeeennnnn!)

Pardon me, but to quote George Carlin, "fuck the children."

Seriously, since people here come from all different countries, cultures, societies, and most important, legal jurisdictions, I for one am not going to worry about everyone's age or their legal status for drinking where they are. Remember, while every STATE requires people to be 21, not every PLACE does. Most don't. In Mexico, for instance, it's 18. In many European countries, they have a far less puritanical view of alcohol than Americans do, and children having wine with dinner is not a big deal and is quite normal and acceptable. My personal belief? If you can reach the bar, you can have a drink.

But this is not fratching, and this is not a debate. And it doesn't need to be. After all, we are dealing with the one kind of alcohol that has never, ever been legislated or regulated in any way: virtual alcohol! So drink up, boys and girls. Free tequila for the kiddies!

[42_42_42]

Mmmmmmmmmmm. Virtual Alckyhol. The best kind. Why? You can drink as much as you want and never have a hang-over!

So, bottoms up!

Oh, and new Tech guy, if you're here

Leaving originals on the copier brings back memories. I used to work for a US government agency. Occasionally a manager (or their secretary) would leave something interesting on the copier. The original was always returned, but keep in mind it was on a copier.
