More trivial dilemma
Is it okay to tell a patron he looks like Idris Elba, or is Elba so handsome that saying someone looks like him is kind of definitionally flirting, and thus Not Cool to do at Work?
at my old library there was a creepy guy who told every female employee under 45 that they looked like some movie star, he seemed to pick the stars randomly So I say no
def not cool unless it IS Idris Elba and you're trying to get him to admit it
ReplyDeleteI like to think that if a movie star came into the library I'd be cool and just leave them alone, but that has not been tested.

ReplyDeleteSo I say no
Ick!
Deleteprobably white librarian should not say this anyway
ReplyDeleteThis is a good point! Also, I'm not sure if "probably" modifies "should" or "white," but if the latter, yes, you inferred correctly.
