"Someone has the paper I want to read"

[depechemodefan]

he wasn't a sucky customer. But this guy came up to me and complained that he was here two hours (latter he said 3) and there was a guy reading the paper, listening to music, sometimes his head is down.

I tried to understand what the complaint was. The guy finally said that he was waiting for the newspaper that the guy was reading and it was 3 hours since the guy was reading the paper.

I told him I can't do anything unless the guy was asleep, but there are more copies on the rack. The guy was surprised we had more copies and said he would look. Of course, he went the wrong way.

So I go look at the guy who had the paper, becasue if he's a sleep, I can say something.

The library's newspapers are labeled on the front of each section. The paper the man had for the past 3 hours wasn't our paper because it wasn't labeled. I go to the rack to tell the guy who complained, but I dont see him. I do see a copy of today's paper.

So the complainer wanted me to take the paper from the guy who had the paper for 3 hours. When the paper wasn't even ours and there was another paper on the rack. At least he wasn't whiny or bitchy, just unhappy.
