For our Gateway jobs, we pick up our parts at a UPS Store in the nearest Communist town (other than Amherst, that is. Can't fly American flag except for holidays...sheesh...but I digress...)
They gave me the bill for the next three months, and I said, I don't have an expense account; I'll have to forward this to the boss.
I called him and told him about the bill, and he asked me to have them FAX it to him. I went back in, asked if they could fax the bill, and the woman hands me a cover sheet. I fill in all the information, and give it back.
She puts the cover sheet aside, goes to the cash register, and rings up $2.89. "That'll be $2.89, please."
HUH? I paid the money without speaking up and left. *I* had to pay $2.89 so they could FAX the bill to my boss?!?!?! Whoa!!!
I called his wife, who does the books and told her I'll be including it on my next time sheet.
In the meantime, I'll be looking for another drop point for Gateway parts...
