When a guy’s printing on his printer began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned.
Â
Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer’s manual and trying the job himself.
Â
Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"
Â
"Actually, it’s my boss’s idea," the employee replied sheepishly. "We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."
