Patron hands me their library card, and it’s blocked.
Me: Do you still have Star Trek: The Next Generation?
Patron: No, I brought that back.
Me: Any idea around when you did that?
Patron: Weeks ago! I turned everything in!
Me: It looks like we’ve gotten them all back except-
Patron: Fuck all you motherfuckers, pretending that I have shit I don’t have, trying to steal money from people.
Me: aw jeez
Patron: It’s fucking ridiculous, I returned that. You should be ashamed!
Patron storms off before I can say anything.
Next Patron: So…
Next Patron: You get a lot of that here?
Me: It’s relatively rare. The funny thing is, I was about to look into it for them and get it fixed with no fine.
Next Patron: And they just didn’t give you the chance?
Me: Nope. And I’m not going to bend over backwards for someone behaving like that, so they can keep their fines.
Next Patron: Karma’s a bitch.
