Patron: Hi I wanna get a computer
Me: Actually you’re going to take your library card over there to the reservation station.
Patron: Okay but like can you explain the negatives
Me: the hwhat now
Patron: I need to know about the negatives. Like, surveillance.
Me: what are you talking about
Patron: You know! At other libraries. With the hand tap.
Me: The more you explain the less I understand.
Patron: Other libraries man, they’re watching. Like when you take out a book they scan your hand.
Me: No they don’t.
Patron: They don’t?
Me: That’s not a thing anyone does anywhere.
Patron: It’s not?
Me: No.
Patron: Thanks!
Me, internally: Did I just cure a conspiracy theorist?
