My favorite has and always will be.."Can I make a copy"? When I have the machine torn apart in a thousand Pieces.

A long time ago (pre-1981) I repaired cash registers - Sweda.

Unfailingly, with the parts of the mechanical machine spread out over the counter, some wise-*ss would say "I guess it's free" Nyuk-Nyuk.

One of my associates had a sign made up that he would unroll for said wisacre - "Just because the cash register is being repaired, does not mean your goods are free". It usually shut them up.

A better sign would "Actually prices are frequently doubled for comments such as that."

I've read an office sign ,I believe it was auto parts shop : "Prices are directly proportional to customer attitude"....

How bout when they ask if your working on it and you have the fuser tore apart on the counter.. unreal sometimes.

Customer: what was wrong with it?
Me: (a little to enthusiastically explain) this error code relates to...and....
Customer (blank stare)what did you do to fix it?
Me: (holding out inevitable pocket screws) it broke down with a case of too many screws

"You have to fix it NOW, it's a patient critical printer!"

So has there been a huge medical break through while I wasn't looking and they now use printers as part of a medical procedure?
So you can't print labels out because you insist on trying use cut price El Cheapo labels and they've now jammed the printer solid?
Tough, write them out by hand.

I walk into a old client to give them the low down on whats going on(bad news, and where to go from here.. ).

I got 5 mins of sales 101.

I once pulled and entire sheet of staples out of a single pass document feeder after getting a call for jamming. I was deeply unamused. Guess they decided to reload the staple cartridge over the doc feeder and failed.
