Me: …Great! Can I see your ID please?
Patron pulls out their wallet, flashes me their license, and takes it back before I can see it.
Me: Sorry, I need to actually hang on to it for a second.
Patron flashes their ID again.
Patron: You may see it. You may not have it.
Me: Well, then I’m afraid I can’t issue you a library card today.
Patron, furiously: Why not?!
Me: I need to verify that the information on your application is accurate, and I saw that the birth date on your application does not match your ID.
Patron: That is a violation of Pennsylvania state law!
Me: It… definitely is not.
Patron: No other library in the state has asked this of me! That is not the law!
Me: I’m not speaking law. I’m speaking library policy.
Patron, storming off: Hmph!
