Bread Slices Can be Made BIGGER!

[MelodiousBubbles]

Indeed. Not entire sure HOW she made it to the store, or how she managed to come to the decision that bread is, indeed, what she wanted, but it made my day a little more amusing to interact with her.

that's all....

[Magpie]

Measure once, cut twice!

[Hulk]

thats the kind of thing that would make me green out , i mean....GAH. how can that amount of idiocy persist? *sigh*

[Ironclad Alibi]

Measure once, cut twice!

But I cut it twice, and it's still too short.

Did anybody see "Fringe" last night? When the guy's head espolded? That's what mine just tried to to.

Maybe she's one of those people who think you can teleport pieces of paper (and cash) through space with a fax machine.

[sylvier]

But why can't you just re-slice this loaf? I like this one!

[aurelemsrealm]

Maybe you should have asked the customer if she would prefer to wrap the loaf in duct tape or the slices glued together with super glue.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

This is the same breed of woman who would come into Kinkos and want a landscape formated picture changed to a portrait formatted one without cropping it or changing it in any way.

I get that every once in a while. Had a woman last month who wanted a black and white photo colourized. I explained to her the process of scanning the image and using the computer to do that and she said she didn't want a copy of the picture colourized, she wanted THAT picture colourized. It took a while to deal with her...

Maybe she's one of those people who think you can teleport pieces of paper (and cash) through space with a fax machine.

Jeez, I get that, too.

Me: "Here's your original back."
Them: "But didn't you fax it?"
Me: "... Yes."
Them: "But why is it still here?"
Me:

The best I've been able to come up with for these people is "It's like a photocopier through the phone line." They actually seem to understand that.

[Marmalady]

she said she didn't want a copy of the picture colourized, she wanted THAT picture colourized.

So you gave her some coloured pencils and said, 'There you go....'

The best I've been able to come up with for these people is "It's like a photocopier through the phone line." They actually seem to understand that.

Which, in fact, is pretty close to the truth.

[Ironclad Alibi]

... she wanted THAT picture colourized.

They used to do that with B&W photos way back when. Amazon has a book about the process, The Painted Photograph 1839-1914: Origins, Techniques, Aspirations. And it is being done today by some artists.
