A whole £1.00...

When/if he comes back in the morning tell him you don't want his custom and he can piss off.

£1.11 tomorrow due to inflation. 😉

Shameless price gouging

😀

If it's got a bar or QR code just tell him to draw it, what's the worst that can happen.

and charge £1 which gets chucked in petty cash for coffee/loo rolls/tea bags etc.

I hate these corporations and their flagrant tax dodging.

I run a little print-shop and just had a customer cheeky ****er in

I have had people in the past, tell me what they think I'm paying for materials, and use that to extrapolate what I should be charging them for a job, as if that is the only cost involved in running a business 🙄 😂

I hate these corporations and their flagrant tax dodging.

So long as it's accounted for, it can be thrown in coffee fund.

But I now have 72 hours to report the suspicions now I have been made aware of them, and the failure to do so is disciplinary!

Like I care.

I look forward to him returning in the morning

Presumably he'll want a label for returning?

£1 is not enough to buy a muffin

Reduce it to 87p. But don’t have any change so he had to choose between handing over £1 anyway and seething at the futility and waste or has to bring in loose change.

Always wondered where the pound shop was in Matlock 😂

You have my respect. Any man who earns his living using printers deserves a lot more than £1. You must have the patience of a saint.

A pound?! Pretty much everywhere I deliver to has a minimum charge of a fiver!

Totally unrelated but we had an Australian girl in our shop looking for a gift for the host family she had been staying with.
After suggesting all the usual smellies , scarves we ended up with chocolates being the best gift.
She bought ONE violet cream which she wanted in a box ( we told her nicely through gritted teeth that a bag would be better) and then paid on an overseas credit card for 70p.
The transaction fees were probably more than the chocolate.
I bet the family were gLad to see the back of her, we certainly were.

Zippy and Muffin man.

Frankly you make me sick. Don't you know the customer is always right??!! No wonder this country is going to the bloody dogs.

I blame the nurses, workshy ****ers putting ideas about wages and stuff into what should be a vocation.

We do the same but with photographic printing. Occasionally I get asked to print a document or QR code. I used to charge 25p per page but got so sick of people moaning about the cost i stopped charging. I normally just do it for free now and ask them to put something in the food bank box at the supermarket instead.

I've got your back. Mrs Sandwich has had a look and said it's not worth her/your time. (I think her interest starts on anything with a 6 figure yield).

a quid to print a returns label?

have i missed something here?

I think the main problem is your not actually just printing their label, your also IT support. I would say the best case scenario would be 5 minutes to get out of the customer what they would like you to do, help them find the label, access the label, save the label, transfer/email the label or link their device wirelessly to our printer. At £1 per label we would be making £12 hour before expenses, some people would probably take 15 minutes to be guided through the above so we would be making £4 an hour before expenses. Fortunately I only end up doing this once every week or so.

Tell me about it...🙄

This sounds similar to the people who moan about the price of a cup of tea in a cafe because they equate it solely to the price of the teabag.

To be fair I never normally charge either - just the admin of the accounts at the end of the month takes far too long. It depends on the attitude of the person, most know it’s a pain-in-the-arse job and are fine - but just occasionally you get the phone waver who’s in a rush!! 🤣

Phone waver! I had him in today, he came in for his yearly order of “standard size prints of the kids” … of course he had no idea which standard size he was after and expected me to remember from Christmas Eve last year when he last came in wanting me to drop everyone else jobs to prints his four 8”x6” (we got there in the end) photos. I did oblige so he left a happy man, although I had made him late for his next errand.

Someone just caught me in a good mood to print a returns slip and label - couldn't look him in the eye when I took his £1 off him!...

I've stopped providing a print service in our postoffice. Customers take the P, essentially wanting it for free.

Had a customer ask if I'd just mind scanning a 100 double side document the other day.

Like others have said, you end up being their it support, 10 / 20 mins can be spent, also with gdpr I didn't like having customers documents and info being emailed over.

thanks @the-muffin-man

Best £1 I've spent in ages, the work printer was broken

couldn’t look him in the eye

I know, appalling capitalisation and lack of punctuation.
