FedEx & Other Happenings

I go to FedEx... a lot, for work and personal things. I know that the store closest to my office tends to be busy with other business types using their services but the next closest one has to be driven to. I went a couple days ago and the guy at the counter was obviously flustered. I waited patiently for him to finish a couple projects and when he came over to help me, he typed in our business account number into the computer. He said that it was wrong... hmm, I triple-checked it before I left the office (where I pre-filled out the form) and I read it back to him in case I wrote it wrong. He said yep, it's wrong there are too many numbers. *hint one, it couldn't be the wrong number of numbers as it fit exactly into the space allotted on the form..... but ok, let's try again. I asked him to double check as I've come in numerous times. Without doing anything, he said, nope, it's too long, too many numbers. He told me that there was no way the account could have ever been used and showed me the computer screen.  I pointed out he typed too many zeros and the look on his face was priceless. I really wanted to say something like "thanks for being totally rude to me and not even checking what you typed" but I didn't.
