I work for the print department of a corporate office supply store. We do printing, folding, binding, etc. Basically all the things a normal large print department would do.
Now sadly, we do not have a closed facility. Customers can pretty much watch all of the production as it happens, which means there are no employees that just do production. I am supposed to be working exclusively on corporate print jobs, but due to massive layoffs I find myself having to help walk-in customers.
This is where the intrepid hero of the tale meets with the persistent customer
Me: Me
SC: Sucky Customer
CW: Co Worker
Me: How can I help you?
SC: I need all of these folded. *Pulls out 2000+ flyers*
Me: *Pulls out glossy flyers, the arch-nemesis of our folding machine* I don't think this can go through our machine folder. If we have to do the folding by hand it will take triple the time and triple the money.
SC: Can you try it and call me if it doe not work?
Me: Sure.
Later that day-
CW: Why did you take this order, the glossy can't go through the machine very well.
Me: I agreed to try it and call if it doesn't work.
CW: *Looks at the paperwork* This guy is nuts, we already tried it two weeks ago and told him it didn't work after destroying some of the flyers
I should have known he had no concept of reality; the flyers were trying to get a group together to talk about the Martian Menace!
