I went in to get some portfolios printed. I had them printed several times before at other locations, but felt like giving this place a try. The man who helped me was quite rude, and talked down to me as if he couldn't be bothered. I gave him a USB with my PDFs and before I could say anything else, he disappeared into the back. I then said, jokingly, "I guess I should have said I wanted them double sided" when he came back with everything already printed. "Yeah, you really should have," he said shortly. He then rushed me through the rest of the process, never giving me any options for binding, paper, or finishing. If they had different options (like most printing places do), he certainly didn't present them to me. Perhaps it was my fault for being complacent, especially since he seemed like he just wanted to get me out the door without much concern for what I was looking for. The job they did was passable, but not anything fantastic. It was a job that I probably could have done myself in all honesty. If you need something a bit more complex printed be warned; it may not turn out how you've done it in the past (or especially if you've never printed it before).
I figured a store that has the word "print" in the name would be synonymous with helping you print things. "Hi. I have a rich text document on a USB drive, and I only need 2 copies. Can you help me?" "Well, I can do it. But it's gonna take about 45 minutes." "To print 2 pages?" "Yeah, one of my machines is down." As I looked around and saw roughly 5-6 printers within 20 feet, I thanked the gentleman and left. Maybe it's my fault for not having a printer of my own. I went to the UPS Store, and they printed 2 pages in 5 seconds for $0.21.
