    "would you get off your phone and help me with this!" | look up and realize he's talking to me. I looked around and said "oh, me?". In a mocking tone he said "yes. You! Playing around during work hours!"

    I respond "Sir, I don't work here.". "Then why are you behind that desk!?" "Umm, this table is for people to organize their papers on. I can probably still help you with the copier if you want." "Fine. I need 100".

    I walked over to his copier. He had a hand written a sign, in ball point pen, about a yard sale. I showed him how to place the paper, asked him what type of paper he wanted to print on and made sure it was loaded. I used

    the chart to show him how much it would cost. And then said he just needs to swipe a credit card to get started. A little window popped up stating there would be a $5 hold on the card for the print job. He. Was. Outraged.

    "How do I know if that money's coming back! I don't know what this machine is hooked up to! You could be making copies of my card and selling it to China!" At this point an actual Staples employee came over to and tried

    to help, so I went back to my copier. There was no convincing him that it wasn't a scam. The guy ended up leaving without even making copies.

    Fair_Lecture 3463 • 7d ago Why do Boomers think everything is a scam EXCEPT actual scams? A copy machine wants his credit card? HOW DARE YOU THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMIE CHINESE PLOT TO GET MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. Guy from Pakistan calls and says his nondescript computer is broken? Thank you for calling and how fast can I get you my bank routing info?

    Lt_Crashbow_Rain • 7d ago Honestly for me, after that huffy "yes YOU!" I would have been done. "I don't work here." and thats that. Now if he came up and said, "excuse me, how do I work this?" then I totally would have helped him but I'm of the opinion that if someone is to me, they aren't worth my time.

    BT_48 7d ago You were really nice to even try and help. I'd tell him the shredder is the copier and let em have at it.

    elleshipper1 • 7d ago I have had boomers get enraged that I don't work at the grocery store. "Where's the such and such?!" No introduction of course. I'm like ma'am, I'm currently wearing slippers. Do I look like I work at this store?

    TheLocust911 • 7d ago You're supposed to never confirm or deny that you don't work there and inform him that you don't want to help so you won't. The higher his blood pressure is the more points you get.

    Sebsazz 7d ago . In the future don't help people like this. If they can't treat you with the basic level of respect, they don't deserve any from you. Your very nice but you shouldn't bother with mfs like this
