Slick 60's

I apologize for posting this on here, but I am more than a little miffed
As some of you may know, I have traced out my low roof headliner, in order to create and post a PDF for others, so inclined, to make their own if they so choose.
FEDEX has bought out Kinko stores which is the place I have been planning to make an electronic copy to post, and print a copy for myself.

So when I started I only had brown butcher paper, I took my meager offering into their store and it did not work out. After asking if I could buy some 36" wide white paper in order to re draw it, I was quoted 13.00 for a 6' piece of blank paper, same price as the copy. since it will need two sheet that's 26.00 plus tax for one copy.
Being the thrifty minded individual I like to think myself as, I bought and had 150' of the same copy paper delivered to my door for $14.03 free shipping. (it's also the principal). Last Thursday I ran my new drawing to the FEDEX store and upon inspecting it, I found I needed to darken my lines,paid 1.29 for the scan and off I went.
I finished the drawing yesterday and decided to wait for today in order to miss the crowds
When I got there the very nice man behind the counter, who helped me last time, offered to help me as there was a new feature... I had to scan my credit card before using the machine... since I was prepared to pay the 26.00 for a new print and the pdf on my memory stick, I said fine.
He hit the total button and it read $128.46 just for scanning it!!!! after check with the manager and telling him I paid 1.29 last Thursday for a scan, I was told it is what it is!
I left politely but determined to spread the word... $128.46 just to scan under 1,800K of info is insane...I could not even ask what it would cost for a copy.
I am looking for someone else with a 36" printer/scanner to improve my print locally.

All you folks that want a copy will have to find an independent printer, to print yours out, if and when I get it done


END OF RANT

At Least You Were Dealing With A Real Guy Behind The Counter. Pretty Soon It Will Be A Kinko's Kiosk And Robotic Printer Hooked-Up To The 5g Network. Fedex Packages Will Be Raining Down From The Sky Into Peoples Yards From Delivery Drones. ..........

Saw your post on FB. Hard to believe Kinkos has come to this. Back in my college days 20+ years ago we used them all the time and they were reasonable. Obviously, reasonable isn't in FedEx's business model. In light of this, I will continue to avoid them as I have managed to do for many years.

Just to update,
I went to Minuteman Press.
They were going to charge me 10.00 to scan 3'X12' on to a memory stick.
When I got there I asked the manager if he would do an exchange, the remainder of my 150' roll of paper, for one copy and the digital scan,to which he happily agreed.
So the $14.03 roll of paper in trade for the services rendered. Plus I got rid of something I did not need to store, for less than what I would have had to pay FEDEX last week, which was much less than the plain thievery they want this week.

win great horse trade!!
