Kinkos always gives me a good laugh

I went to kinkos today, as I always do, for my 1/2 hour trip to enlarge some flyer. I went straight to my enlarging machine and enlarged my flyer. That usually takes about 5 minutes. Then I went to try and pay. That usually takes the other 25 minutes. So I got to the counter and I was told in the past to alert them that I will be paying with my company's Kinkos credit card b/c apparently, at kinkos, you have to give the credit card before anyone actually rings up anything. ok. I don't get it and I probably never will.....like why major companies with bajillions of dollars only use one-ply toilet paper. It's one of the mysteries of the world. But that's for another time. Back to Kinkos.... I finally got to the front of some formation of a line - which they never have - and I got to pay. I immediately handed the guy my company's Kinkos credit card b/c I was told that's what you have to do. His response was "yep....I think you can pay with that...." !!! Of course I can pay with it. I've been using it all along! Meantime, he didn't take the card and do anything with it before he rang up my enlargement. Then, after he rang me up, he tried to swipe the card and of course it didn't work. He kept trying and trying. Nuthin! Then he asked a co-worker. He couldn't figure it out either. The guy finally said to me "I can't figure this out and my friend can't figure this out, sooo..... have a nice day!" So I did! :)
