Grrrrrr.... Rant (Sorry)

I think Xerox, wanting to charge $289 for the first half hour of on-site repair of one of their copy machines, and then $59 for every additional 15 minutes after that, is the moral equivalent of ass-raping livestock. Especially when I fixed the damn thing myself, with a pair of needlenosed pliars and a screwdriver. Hrmph! Rhetorically, I asked them how they justified their service fees. The woman snottily replied, "That's what we charge."
I cordially invited her to suck a turd.

Hey Frank... 
I feel for you... I know those people are somethin else...
I ran out of Toner, about a month ago... I called the service center and ask them to mail me a couple of them refills... Well this guy shows up, drops them off and leaves... well about 2 weeks later my boss got the bill...
It was:
$22.50 x 2 for the refills
$100.00 to deliver them...
Ass kicker is they are just around the corner, I can walk there... and they charged $100.00 just to bring it around the corner... Shot'em on Site....
God Bless ya
Charlie

Good for you Frank!!!
I'm glad you fixed it yourself... That's why I fix computers myself, the charges from local companies are insane... but obviously some people do pay without questions!!!
Once I worked in an office and their tech charged $75.00 to start a defrag!!!!!
Let them suck turds!

Yes. It was $800 for the first ten minutes. I told her I would be waiting with cash in hand for her to walk her saucy ass on down here and get started.

It's run by a woman with Tourette's, called, "The Fluffy Bunnies and Shithole Charm School For The Incorrigible."
So far, I think I'm getting my money's worth. (Unlike what I would have gotten from the sheep-shaggers at Xerox.)
