Peasants vs. Queens

I had to pick up our lease for our new apartment today. In queens. Which takes an hour to get to from Canada. So..I haven't packed yet, I got in at 12pm last night after a 6 hour commute from Chicago and my roommate for one reason or another decided to not pick up the lease during the 6 days she was here when I wasn't, so naturally it is my responsibility.

Stupid things our realtor did:
1. Opened an office in queens.
2. Opened an office in Queens when they have apartments in the West Village.
3. Requires us to show the lease to our super in order to get keys.
4. Will not fax lease.
5. Only way to get lease is to go to Queens and pick it up.

Stupid things FedEx Kinkos did:
1. Hired idiots to work there.
2. Have broken fax machines
3. Hired idiots who will not help me use fax machine OR copier.
4. Charged me $ when nothing I did actually worked.

Stupid things I do:
Let all of this upset me, raise my blood pressure and give me anxiety.

So. We decided that I would pick up said lease from the office in Peasants (I refuse to call it queens) and fax it to her so she could get keys. I walked in the slush puddles for 6 blocks to get to kinkos. I requested help with the fax machine.

When I asked:
"Excuse me, Miss? Will it scan all the pages in my document or do I have to do it one by one?"

Her response:
"No."

My response: blank stare. Deep breath. Attempt to speak but then annoyed slight shake no of head.

Me: "No I can't scan more than one page? Or No I don't have to do it one by one"

Her: "You don't have to."

Again..not a fully informative sentence, but whatever.

After photo copying the entire backside of the lease, putting it through the fax machine twice on two separate machines...I think I successfully faxed 4 of the 20 pages and spent $15.

Do I like FedEx Kinkos or will I ever go to the one in Peasants again?

Me: "No."
