So I went to Kinkos to send a fax to someone. I noticed it said $2.00 for the front page and $1.50 each additional page (Domestic)

and $1.00 a page Local

I sighed and thought it would be $8.00 to send 5 pages to an 800 number. I asked the manager and he said he'd consider it local so it would be $1.00 a page. Still that would be $5.00 and I wanted to see if I could ge the price down a bit. Talk about profit! I then decided to send 4 pages instead of 5 pages. I then had another idea. I wanted to get it down to 3 pages by putting 2 documents on one page.
So I asked him where the paper slicer is so I could try to cut the 2 1/2 pages on a whole sheet of paper down to 1 full page taped together. He said if it really matters i'll charge you for three sheets instead of four sheets. So I fax it to the number and wait for my comfirmation to print. I then go up to the manager and he says Merry Christmas and hands me a bag and says so long. I hand him the money but he refuses to take it and says Merry Christmas. LoL this guy must have thought this loser can't afford a few bucks to send a fax ;-)

Very Nice Jeff. Though I would expect a PingZine Member to have a fax machine lol.

I've worked most Christmas eves, and days since as long as I can remember.. Does'nt matter to me. Id rather be making money than sitting at home doing nothing.
