While faxing at kinko's I seen the sign at how much my pages were going to cost. And for some reason the price was higher. So being frugal isn't only at the grocery store. So I stood in the long line figuring out how much I was overcharged. When I got to the worker she tells me that the machine is right and I was charged more since there's a "1" in front of the are code. So I explain how my faxes were local so I should have been charged $xx. She tells that I was wrong still so this is when I get some courage and pose the question if the area code I'm faxing from is the same I'm faxing too how is this considered long distance. She looked at my fax numbers and asked for my card I paid with and gave me the credit back.
I'm not one to walk away from my hard earned money so even the few dollars saved here is a victory for me. So when machines over charge talk to a human and explain what happened. I know we all are depended on machines and how they are never wrong. But in my opinion computers are only as good as their coding. And humans do the coding so there is always room for error.
So talk to someone if something isn't right.
