We have only 2 copiers in our new remodeled building, when before we had about 9. Anyway, I'm on the third floor and I see this woman making a lot of copies. She's copying from different books, and I see her go back and forth from a table in the alcove where the copier is. And there is this guy just standing around. About 5 min. latter the guy comes up to me and ask if he could use the copier. I said there was no time limit, that he just have to go to the second floor if he wants to make a copy of wait for her to finish. He goes back to standing around. Twenty or 10 min. latter the woman comes up to me and says the copier stopped working. All I can do is call IT and tell her to go to the second floor. I tell the guy the copier is down, he would have to go to the second floor. He nods and wanders off to a corner.
Anyway, the woman than says, "Are you going to refund me my $.75?" Copies are $.15 each. I'm thinking, ok, you make one copy and see it doesn't copy, and try a second copy, and it doesn't copy, maybe you should stop copying. I said I would add money to her card and I asked why did she make 5 copies if it wasn't working. She said, "It was making copies before." I could see if she was just feeding material in the machine and couldn't stop it on time, or just wasn't paying attention because the machine was doing it's deal. But putting a book down, making a copy, and picking up the copy to make sure it copied and then keep on doing it when it was blank...seems kind of stupid.
This also reminds of another time this woman was putting resume paper in the copier. I wasn't paying attention but I noticed she made some copies, went back to the computer, and was making other copies. She comes to me saying the machine wasn't working. After looking at it I see a resume is jammed in the copier. I see she opened the copier to add resume paper. I tell her that she can't use resume paper since it's thicker than regular paper and our copiers arn't calibrated for that. She said, "It was copying before!"
