I\’m back with another tale from the lock shop.

So in the shop, we have this sign displayed, plain as day.

So this 20-something girl comes in with a couple of high security keys with \”DO NOT DUPLICATE\” stamped on both sides of them, and says she needs a couple copies.

Me: \”These are high security keys, what and who are they for?\”

Her: \”Oh they go to the concession stand at the football field at the high school, they\’re for me\”

Me pointing to the sign: \”Yeah so I can\’t do these for you unless the owner or superintendent comes for them or I have a written letter\”

Her: \”No it\’s ok, I just want copies\”

Me: \”Okay? I get that, but I still need authorization to do any keys that are stamped \’Do not copy\’\”

Her: \”These say do not duplicate though, I want copies\”

Me: \”…….yes\”

Her: \”\’Do not copy\’ and \’do not duplicate\’ are different things tho\”

Me: \”…….Oh I\’m sorry, we need a letter for duplicates too, we just didn\’t have room on the wall to hang both signs up\”

Her: \”Oh ok, thanks though, I\’ll try and make a letter\”

Me: \”see ya later then\”

Aren\’t customers fun?
