darchildreWeirdest thing that has happened today: two women just walked up the desk and asked if we had jigsaw puzzles that they could take on the ferry. When I told them that we don't rent out jigsaw puzzles (?), they then asked if the senior center had any. For one thing, the senior center is not currently open and their things aren't ours.
My manager found a puzzle in the office and offered it to them, at which point they complained that it was only 350 pieces. Being apparently out of other options (we told them there was a Rite-Aid a few miles away where they could buy puzzles but they were on foot), they did finally take it. And they did put a few dollars in our donations box. All the while complaining that they normally get puzzles for 25 cents - I suppose at the library wherever it is they live. Ladies, we did not compel you to pay for the puzzle, you chose to make a donation.
People are decidedly odd.
