Demon Clown Baby

The Firehouse Grill in South San Francisco, CA. They have twice sent fax spam to my company. Fax spam! And it’s not advertising penny stocks or Viagra or whatever. It’s just a real spam for their stupid restaurant, just a few miles away.

What kind of idiotic people run that restaurant, that they think it’s acceptable to send unsolicited FAXES to local businesses?

Send us regular postal junk mail, I don’t mind throwing it away. I might even read it. I don’t mind postal mail, because there’s usually not that much of it and it doesn’t cost me anything.

But email spam isn’t paid for by the sender. It’s paid for by all of us. ISPs have to have more mail servers, more techs, and spend more time dealing with it. I know people who spend an hour a day fighting their spam.

Fax spam actually steals paper and ink from people! (Not us, we have a computer answer the fax machine, ha hah.) Why in the world would I give money to a business that tried to cost me money in the form of paper and ink?

And you know what? They weren’t even faxing a coupon. Just a “here’s how great we are” letter somebody threw together in Wordpad or something.

I wrote “Fax spam is bad!” and faxed it right back to them.
