    Kind of like it's the person that kills someone and not the gun's fault. Everyone is all like "The guns are killing our kids!" actually no, psycho crazy people are at fault who need to be shot themselves.
  5. Rant Help Make Our Lives Better: Reform Illustrator's Canvas Size Limit

    Of course not, Corel is not built to be a RIP program or a routing program. I am talking about designing which is a big part of a sign company. It's not an all in one. Illy is not an all in one, it's for designing, it's not a RIP program or routing program. I am a die hard fan of Corel, but I do...

    Before X3, Corel was trash. Then X4 made a huge head way and now with X8 it's becoming standard in the sign industry. It's above Flexi and pretty much tied with Illy.
  8. Employees on Cell Phones

    In my employee handbook, I have that phones cannot be used except on lunch breaks and not on the clock. Except in the case of an emergency or doctors appointment. However that has failed several times, they ignore it. Generally they will go to the back room to do their texting or wait until I am...

  10. Yes, people are really like that...

    People will say anything on the internet, but when you meet them in person they are completely different and back down and become scared because you can physically harm them. They like to be in control on the internet.

  12. Wholesale ADA Signs

    Thank you I will contact them and see what we can do. The company I used to use took 3 1/2 weeks for 4 ADA signs and only gave me a 15% discount so it was nearly impossible to mark up.
  13. Yes, people are really like that...

    This forum is full of bullies who will make fun of you. It used to bother me, but I just plain don't care anymore. I roll with the punches and joke back. Trust me it's not worth fighting because it's like taking on a gang. They will team up and tear you down. So just ignore it and move on or...

    I've learned there are two types of servers. the first is happy all the time and polite or at least put up that front to customers and the second is ones who let one little thing bother them and it ruins their night and they take it out on all of the their customers. I always tip 20% to the good...

  16. Need Help Drawing for dimensional letters?

    The sign industry will raise your blood pressure alot. But it depends if you let it get to you. Local sign shops tend to be argessive, like the other day at a shopping center we are the preferred vendor for, a sign company told the property manager that we were in trouble with the IRS and that...
  17. Yes, people are really like that...

    Doesn't surprise me. I've quoted wraps at $3,000 and they say "Holy crap I could get the whole car painted for that!" Generally corporate accounts will pay it as they know how much it costs, but joe off the street will have a heartattack over it.

    Sorry to say, but this will be a big impact on the company's reputation that you work for. Once a letter falls and hits someone, it'll have quite the lawsuit. There is a simple and easy fix to this and it needs to be done. We are just trying to help you from a huge headache later.
