Today I answered the phone and the woman on the other end asked me to define a word because this is a bookstore and we have dictionaries all over the place. Everyone around me scattered as soon as they saw my face and the way I was rubbing my forehead. But seriously, I was trying very hard not to laugh at her and the only way I could get control of myself was to grab the dictionary I always have under the counter and look up the word. And she doubted the definition. My god, woman. Go. Away.
Then there was the young couple giggling in a corner while they tried to figure out the logistics of a kama sutra pose. Really, kids. Either buy the book or rent porn. I don't care what you're up to as long as you don't have sex in the store, get the book dirty (ick!) or steal anything.
And finally, the wall sockets in the store are for our use and not to charge random ipods, despite what a customer (who glared at me from the Cafe when he saw me standing at the desk) might think. I unplugged his little toy and stashed it at the desk. It was draped all over the floor in Self Improvement. Doof.
