our sharp tech that comes in to fix our decade old copier is retiring and the guy that filled in for him last time he was on vacation took 5 weeks to get the thing fixed, but it still wasn’t fixed, and ffs the regular guy had to come in and plug a cable all the way in that was loose.

I deal with printers all day every day and theres a good reason the only brand of printer you ever see in a pharmacy is a fuckin brother one of them pisses me off though coz if u load paper into the automatic feeder, you want to go hit copy, but the copy button (because they're all lcd touch screens of fuckin course not real buttons) flashes "automatic document feeder loaded", which takes a second or two to go away before you can hit copy it's not a long time objectively that you need to wait, but feels like such a god drat frustrating nuisance when you're just trying to copy a piece of paper, and it basically adds a two second delay in the middle of the only two steps you do (load the paper and press copy)
