Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    Patron using the computer: “Your Google is broken! No matter what I search, it just shows me books!”

    Me: “…you’re typing in the library’s catalog. This isn’t Google.”

      I was going to suggest putting signs up that clearly state the search bar isn’t Google, but I realized that even if you did, they would likely get ignored. You may even already have them up.

      Used to work in this exact environment. This tormented me daily.

      Along with crap like “You look pretty smart.” or “Hey I bet you’re a genius.”

      Or just typing their email address into the URL bar.

      Or just barking at you “PRINT.”

      Or “Why this no work, I click ‘E’ for ‘internet’.” (We had a stubbornly archaic IT lead who insisted on keeping Internet Explorer around for ages.)
