Context: I have been out for the last 3 and a half days. I’ve just arrived to the library and this is the first Patron I’ve seen this week.
Patron walks up to the front desk with two shopping bags filled with books.
Patron: Yo, where do I return stuff?
Me: Drop box slot is in the hallway there.
Patron: Yeah ok. But, I wanna double check and make sure there’s nothin late. I DID renew it, but-
Me: Okay, okay, bring ‘em here.
Patron dumps about 20 books on me.
Me: Dude
Me: You have, like, almost $400 in fines.
Patron: But I renewed ‘em!
Me: You checked this stuff out in March. It’s almost July. Every one of these items is marked as lost.
Patron: Aww man that’s some crap
Me, internally: It’s GOOD TO BE BACK
