Far away ink

I go into a stationers shop and ask if they fax things.
Yes says the lady behind the counter. I hand her 7 sheets of paper and she faxes it.
“Where is it going please?”
“Does it matter?”
“Yes it does so I need to know where it was going”
“It just went to America - why does that matter?”
“It’s going further so it costs more”
The way she said it I genuinely believe she think it really does actually cost more. I wonder if she knows just how a fax works? Do the company teach her?
And I had 2 great domain ideas on the way into the city and each of the name variations isn’t available. Damn.

International calls don’t cost more than domestic calls in the UK?

Oh they cost more, yes. It was how she said it - I think if I’d asked her she’d have imagined trained hamsters scuttling letters along dark pipes. It was a very strange way she said it.
