Fight Back
Some of our company books needed to be duplicated. So I went to the copy shop where I had often went to been before. And This time I duplicated twenty two books instead of ten like I had while only ten before.
The next day I asked the manager of this shop, " Have my photocopies been done yet?" No space between word and punctuation mark.
"Yes."
"Twenty two books are too heavy for me. Could I have them delivered this time? "
"Well, we are not free. And they aren't not (aren't means "are not" so you do not need to write not again) heavy at all. You can take them by yourself."
I was a little angry because they always said they were not free and yet they asked me to take the photocopies by myself. However, every time I went to their shop, they were always idle. My boss always said I was too easygoing, and I should ask them to deliver. But I thought ten books was not heavy, I could take them by myself. So, usually I took the photocopies by myself every time before. But this time, I wouldn't.
"Well, you can deliver them when you are free. " I said in calmness calmly, " And anytime my photocopies come, the money pay. " not sure what this means. Do you mean the money will pay for the delivery?
The third day I reminded them again to deliver my photocopies as soon as I started my work.
"We are not free. You take your books by yourself," he said.
Now, I was really angry and said, " I don't believe you have no time at all. Every time I come to your shop, I always find you are always idle. "
" It was the time you went here we were free. Other times we were very busy. You come here and take your photocopies by yourself."
" You deliver !" I insisted, and said,"Anyway I still have another retained books, (or "other books") and I can asked another copy shop to duplicate them. If you don't deliver them, you can keep them at your store as long as you like. "
In fact, I didn't have any retained books. But I thought I should fight back this time.
" How can you say that ?" His voice sounded angry.
"Well, we always cooperate with you. I have printed and duplicated things/books at your shop so many times before. But how do you treat us ? Is there any time you deliver any things ? You don't have any sincerity! "
"Of course we have the sincerity. Well, what's the address of your company ? I will deliver them to you today. "
One hour later, one of their shopboys appeared at my office with my photocopies in his hand.
This time, I won !
That's a great story and very well written! Is it true?
