Paper shredders for the office

The "Intimus 007" shredders which I used had two rotating bars, one above the sheet and one below.

Each bar consisted of alternating larger diameter and smaller diameter discs. These cut the paper into narrow strips.

The discs had notches and mating projections which would cut the strips into short pieces.

IIRC, they were not considered secure enough to shred microfiche, because the chips could have readable sentences in them, so those had to go to a ball mill to be pulverized instead. But for printed paper, they were quite satisfactory.

Enjoy, DoN.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid. Gunner Asch

I'm boycotting Staples because one day the Muzak was playing annoyingly loud, offensive, racist hate-rap noise.

Cheers! Rich

Have you told them? Told them that you find their piped morally offensive, and will not patronize their establishments because of that?

When a company loses business due to bad customer service, very often they don't know that they have, or why.

I've walked out of stores because of loud and offensive music. When I told the manager why I was leaving, they told me they didn't care. I was rudely informed that they would listen to whatever they wanted to.

In that case, say "fine - and I shall tell random strangers that your company sucks. See if I care."

I do tell people why I won't deal with any business that is run by morons.

I recall a cartoon series, where the Professor was explaining "negative ratings" "That is when people call random strangers to tell them not to watch the show."

Which reminds me, I should call up the one tire co, and tell them why I took my business elsewhere. I don't mind "slow", I do mind "ignore the guy parked in front of the bay." Doesn't take much a simple "I'll be right with you, sir." will suffice. But if they didn't want to acknowledge my presence, it wasn't like I was being rude by leaving, nicht wahr?

I stood at a Popeye's Fried Chicken counter for about 10 minutes with employees scurrying around avoiding eye-contact. I noticed the guy behind me had given up so I did too. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that same day and tried the drive-thru on my way home from work. Parked in front of the speaker was an older compact car, driver's door open, no driver. After looking around, I honked. Some guy came out the back door retrieved something from the car, went back inside. So I left again. Later on, I decided the company should know about this situation, so I got on the corporate website and found the contacts page, clicked on "email us". Up pops a form that wants to know everything but my bank account number. No thanks. No more Popeye's Fried Chicken for me.

Do it. If people don't complain, they think their flunkies are doing ther job. :(

I stood for about 15 minutes at a local Arby's, with a dozen employees running around. ignoring me I'm diabetic, and was getting light headed so I didn't have time to keep waiting. I went down the street to another fast food place and hd my food in under two minutes.

A week or two later I stopped at a different Arby's and got great service. They had a new manager who introduced himself. I asked if the other restaurant was owned by the same franchisee, then told him about how bad it was run. He called his boss to report the problem. After that, they had a lot of new faces behind the counter. :)

You've got diabetes, and you don't have food in the car with you every day of the week? So you take your lightheaded dizzy, and go out and drive the car again?

I don't drive every day. Usually only once or twice a week, and only long enough to get groceries or see a doctor. Sometimes I don't leave the house for weeks at a time.

I was stuck somewhere for four hours longer than I was supposed to be. (So much for setting an appointment) I had already used the snack I had with me. The other restaurant was a half block away and I figured I had about 10 to 15 minutes to get something to eat, or pass out.
