I imagine it would be pretty dope to have all of that equipment at your disposal.

that would be cool, I was thinking of the old ladies that come in and art direct you.

doesn't 'Kinkos' mean 'ass' in Greek?...
... maybe it's Hebrew... but I know it's translated 'ass'...

no, no, god bless™ YOU.
customers were the worst part of the job. wouldnt give kinkos any color work ever.

i worked at kinkos for 2 years. it was pretty fun, although in the days before the smart key cards.

I also did 2 years while in school. Great for design classes. I also got a metric ton of freelance work there.
Congrats on your emancipation.

i would totally recommend anyone coming up to work there. if your store does a lot of business, you'll learn a ton of production on deadlines and you have to learn to deal with the worst customer base in america. if it was anything like my store there were some fucking unbelievable people working there too... old stoners, one dude that bragged about beating his kids and claimed to have been abducted twice, a manager that blew coke in the office, etc.

I broke free from the shackles of Kinkos almost a year ago, I dont miss the agree shit people one bit, but the free prints oh how i miss the access to all that copy equipment!
