I once had a Kinko's employee, in consultation with the manager on duty, refuse to slice the binding off a textbook because "copyright".
They were, however, willing to three-hole punch the resulting pages if I removed the binding myself.
Later that day at another, nearby Kinko's, an employee, who happened to be the manager on duty, cut and punched the pages with no questions asked other than "have you seen our selection of binders and report covers?"
This was around 2008, so many years after the corporate consolidation, subsequent acquisition, and rebranding as FedEx Kinko's.
