First Story
You can use your library card or a computer-use card to use the computers, but lose either one and you have to pay $1 to replace it./BG

scg: sucky customer guy
me :

scg: I lost my computer card, can you give me another one?
me: You have to go to that counter to pay the $1 replacement fee.
scg: I don't have a dollar. I only have 10 cents. What if I give you a can of beets?
me: sorry, has to be a dollar.
scg: then I never had a card, give me a new card.
me: when I look up you information from your id, I will see you have a card and you still have to pay $1.
scg: *goes away in disgust*

Second Story
I'm answering phones.
sc: I need the ph. number and address for the gas company.
me: which one?
sc: the main one.
me: Do you have the name of it?
sc: no
me: I'll read the list of the gas companies in the area and you tell me which one it is (I read them in alphabetical order, last company begins with the letter "S")
sc: It's Exxxx.
me: the phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. They don't provide an address.
sc: so the ph. number is xxx-xxx-xxxx.
me: yes.
sc: and the address
me: They don't provide an address, only the phone number. If it was listed, I would have given it to you.
sc: *hangs up*

Since when is a can of beets considered currency? Did he think that he was out in the boondocks where folks traded chickens and produce for services or something?

[Lachrymose]

You'd have to pay ME to take a can of beets off you. Bleccchhh.

[Marmalady]

I'll see your can of beets and raise you a jar of pickled onions.

I think the guy was hoping I would say, "oh, well, if you only have beets then I'll just give you the card for free." Though even if he had chocolate candy, I wouldn't trade.

Were they magic beets? Like in "Jack And the Beetstalk"? lol

[siskaren]

My library occasionally does a promotion where you can pay your fines with canned goods, maybe he was thinking something along those lines?

[Aria]

I recently paid 4 dollars for a bottle of pickled beets. That could have been a good deal.

There's a deal you can't beet with a stick.

Why back in my day, we payed with beets all the time! And we didn't complain! No Sir, we liked it! And if you were really lucky, you'd get back peas for your change!

Do tell us again Oh Great Arga of Barga about the time you beet a grizzly bear with your loose leaf notebook.
