Yeah, people suck. A woman came in a few weeks and dropped off 10 rolls of film. Only wanted the negatives developed, and didn't want them cut, no prints. We had the peanut gallery working and she printed the prints (but luckily remembered not to cut the negatives). Lady calls up screaming at one of our head cashiers that we didn't give her the negatives back and made prints. She tells her to come in and we can refund the prints and that we'd try and find the negatives. The head cashier goes frantic for an hour tearing the Lab apart looking for them and can't find them. Why? Because when we don't cut the negatives...we roll them up and put them in a plastic film canister and most happen to be black. The roll, due to physics, tries to straighten itself out and unrolls part way to the sides. When she came in the prints were refunded and upon a closer look she finds out that we did, in fact, give her her negatives. She leaves. This isn't the end. I hear about this the next day from the head cashier. We laugh at it. An hour or so before I'm supposed to leave...she comes in. As soon as she starts explaining it, I know who it is. Apparently, she took the negatives to Costco and the pictures didn't look as good as when they we printed them, and says the negatives were fingerprinted and demanded to know why like I know how things work at Costco. I told her my theory (Costco's scanner was dirty) and she then shows me the ones we printed before and there were several that shouldn't have been printed in the first place and starts *****ing like she paid for them and asks to talk to someone higher. So I get another head cashier (one step up from the one she talked to), and she comes back to drop them off (Fairly close to close from what I hear...I had left before she came back) and have us do doubles. Walk in the next morning, and she calls wondering when they'll be finished because she needs them ASAP. I quote her a time I know I can meet, have them finished and she waits until 4 hours later than that to pick them up...and thinks I want to hear her complain even more about the incompetence of the original person (which we are well aware of and have been since before she even came in) even though she had just got around 500 free prints from us.
If I got $20 for all the idiotic behavior I've put up with...I'd be retired by now.
Give them Ralph's email. I'm sure he could whip one up on a spreadsheet in 10 minutes that would be easy to read. It's a schedule...not missile launch codes...Kid had orientation for middle school last night (doesn't start till next Tuesday). They have a 1/2 hour class on how to read the schedule. It apparently is not enough time. Whoever designed these schedules needs to be taken out and shot. I'm an engineer used to wading through jargon and deciphering arcane documents and this one is crap.
Others try...but none come close. In Minnesota, the two things we do best are hockey and deep fried foods on a stick.
I think we've probably had everyone of those (maybe even butter, I know I've heard of that before)...Other than the deep-fried butterconfused:
) I think the MN State Fair could match every one of those.
Ginger beer? I'm jealous!I hope you are just paranoid 'trumpet!
I'm looking forward to a "Dark and Stormy" weekend. Certainly not the weather - its been beautiful - but the cocktail - dark dark dark rum and ginger beer. Found ginger beer in Calumet!!
Good luck, 'ewe!
Morning Lodge. In '82 I was living in Oakland, California and considering going to Pennsylvania on assignment (which is where I met the lovely Mrs. Goldy).
wT, I agree with Gonzo, et. al. Better safe than sorry.

There's this thing called a "lint trap." You might wanna clean it.

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend spent in the company of family friends and loved ones.
