Brand new copies

It’s official. I hate Kinkos.

I could live with their long lines and not very helpful customer service. I could almost live with their high prices. But what I can’t live with is the fact that they screwed up half my copies. There are wrinkles and creases in about half of Kaleidotrope issues I had printed, making some of them illegible and all of them unusuable. Oh, and I also got a nasty papercut when leafing through each of the copies to check.

Naturally, I seem to have lost — or more likely accidentally threw out — my receipt. So chances are I’m stuck with these bad copies (and their cost) and won’t have enough good ones left to fulfill all my orders or send to all my contributors. I’ve already sent a few copies out — mostly to subscribers, before I noticed this problem — but I’m going to need to make replacements quickly.

And hopefully find somewhere else to do it than Kinkos.

If this were a Livejournal, my “current mood” would be “very pissed off with just a hint of panic.”
