A few years ago I was getting Hebrew handouts copied at Foxy Copy (92nd & Broadway), and without my asking for anything special, they did something complicated to the machine to get the staple to come out on the top right corner, rather than the top left.
I was impressed at the time, but today’s experience beats that by far.
Today I was at Global Copy (Broadway between 97th and 98th) to drop off the handouts for my Institute workshops, and they said “Do any of these need genizah if we make a mistake?”
“No, but thanks for asking!”
what this means is that in two more years, you will be at a copy place five more streets up, whose name starts with an H, and they will offer corrections to the Bar Ilan CD copy-pastes on your sheet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a stupid question, but did this mean "Do you care what happens to the extra copies if we make a mistake?" or did it mean "We take genizah very seriously ourselves, so please save us the trouble of having to read your photocopies to determine whether we have to worry about how to dispose of bad copies of them"?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if copy shop clerks feel an ethical duty not to look at customers' documents any more than necessary. But I've always imagined they did, and it never occurred to me before that that might conflict with someone's religious beliefs.

ReplyDeleteMy impression was the former.
Very good to know, as this is my local copy place, as well!
