A woman walked up to me on the checkout desk and said," I'm looking for Santa. Did he leave?" I froze for a second and then offered "I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone matching that description."
As soon as the patron walked away, my coworker and I argued heatedly over whether the woman was 1) Talking about a friend/family member who resembled common depictions of Santa Claus, 2) Attempting to joke with us, or 3) dead serious.
according to my co-irkers, several years ago a guy came into the library dressed as Santa and tried giving gifts to kids (looked like mostly travel-size toiletries). They shut that down quick.
ReplyDeleteOh noooo. I feel so bad for the person who had to do that one.
