Queen of Sheeba gets thirsty

The Queen of Sheeba has been making her appearance late in the day at our humble little library. As usual she looks at the line to log on to a computer and marches up to the reference desk and says " give me a computer!" Our response is pretty much the same every single freakin' time. "you have to wait in line and make your reservation to use the computer just like everybody else" She's that eternal kindergartener who cannot be patient and always takes cuts in line. It drive the staff nuts. Then we get to watch her invade the personal space of whatever poor individual she stands behind of in line. My heart bleeds for that person because I know that she has an upleasant funky body odor that is apparent at about 3 feet. After she makes her reservation for the next available computer she complains about how long she has to wait. We have repeatedly told her that she is more than welcome to make an advanced reservation where she would could make a reservation up to three days in advance at the time of her choosing. But will she take our advice... of course not! Then she marches up to the reference desk, complains about how hungry and thirsty she is and wants to know if she can have a swig of water from the Branch Mangager's water bottle. Yuk. Yuk. Yuk.
