I was chitchatting on the phone with Stacey K (i was looking for vendors for a project). I had to hang up the phone to answer my business line...The call went like this:
Caller: I'm looking for liner for a banner
Me: could you give me a little more information?
caller: i have this 3 ft x 20 ft banner that has a sticky backing and i'm trying to preserve it. Its all folded on itself and I need to separate it out. See, I already did another one with a hair dryer and it took way too long to do. so I was wondering if I could pay ya'll to do it.
Me: sir, that's not something we do. that's considered consumable and can't be saved. I can definitely print you a new one and sell that to you.
caller: No, the front of this one is just fine and i just don't want it to be sticky on the back. I want to be able to take it and put it in my man cave
me: how did you obtain this 3 ftx20 ft "banner"?
caller: There were some guys in a cherry picker pulling it off a wall and they balled it up and I took it
me: see, when they balled it up, it was meant for trash.
caller: well I want to preserve it. It took me entirely too long to pull the other one apart and I just want to pay someone to pull it apart
me: sir, that's not something we would do (yes, i said it again). I have liner. if you want to purchase liner from me, I can certainly sell you some.
caller: well, I'll just hire some day labors for $150 and get them to pull it all apart and then come buy the liner from you.
me: yes sir, that's fine.
