    NSS: Not paying for 11x17 color laser prints

    So I'm going to Japan next month and I wanted to print out subway and train maps. They come in huge PDFs with japanese font so I needed to print them in large size. However, I couldn't use kinko's online file printing system because of the japanese language packs the PDFs use. I went down to their shop to hook up to one of their color laser printers. Once I downloaded the driver by using their internet (which costs money), I printed 4 gorgeous 11x17 color maps, each costing $2.

    When I went up to pay for them, the guy said not to worry since I only used their equipment and not anyone's services. I made sure he wasn't on crack and offered again, but he said it wasn't a problem.

    So, I got these really nice huge COLOR maps and it didn't cost me a cent! Not even the internet costs either! I like nice people...well...nice people and those who don't take their job that literally or seriously

    Isn't it nice to be on the receiving end of an act of kindness once in a while. Now it is your turn to do the same for someone else. Only seems fair.

    well...my boss (and his bosses) had a problem with their demo laptop and I volunteered to come in at 7:30 pm to fix it (and it took me 5 minutes, though it would take others hours). Didn't have to come in, but I did (mostly because I wanted to feel helpful since I haven't done squat in 2 weeks since I'm leaving in 2 more weeks).

    So, that's sorta nice...though I do get paid for it...

    So then looks to me like you are even in the good deed department.
