As it happened, I was trapped in Hell in a different Kinko's today. I went to photocopy two surveys (for a couple of Sonic Drive In restaurants in Louisana.
Well, they only have one oversized copy machine for blueprints, etc. When I got there, a little blond bimbette wait unit (with curly permed long hair and the crappy low rise jeans so prevalent today - which when she bent over did expose her cheesy thong, and too much glitter eyeshadow) was attempting to photocopy an entire roll of blueprints for two engineers from a TV station...the engineers were giggling over the bimbette link a couple of hyenas. She was so stupid that she didn't know how to clear a jam in this copier...I say stupid, because I was able to do so for her, having never attempted to do so on that particular model previously.
Well, I got to watch this chick not be able to run the copier properly, not be able to troubleshoot properly, not be able to clear a print que from a computer dedicated to running the print que, etc. for almost 45 minutes (for which a client of my firm got to pay my billable rate) and finally, after truly wanting to bitchslap her ignorant ass, I got to take 2 minutes to make my two copies, get lamely giggle at by the two engineers...who couldn't understand what a survey of a restaurant building was (when they had been dealing with engineering blueprints), have another wait unit not be able to run an invoice properly for me and finally get to escape...only to have to go back to work and have a hour less time to review both surveys that had to be completed today...
AAAAACK! IDIOTS! THEY'RE ALL FREAKING IDIOTS!
Sorry...just had to get that off my chest...so suffice to say, I feel your pain.
