It never ceases to amaze me.
Due to budget cuts we aren't always able to get our laserjet printer cartridges in a timely manner. (We used to have one or two stored at the branch)
Yesterday, our printer ran out of ink.
Today we've posted several signs in bright lime green that state:
"No Printing Until Further Notice."
One sign on the post as you enter the library.
One at the reservation station.
One on the printer itself.
Still no one sees these signs and want to print and are extra pissed when they can't.
One girl would not take no for an answer, she in fact insisted that there should be a way we could print for her and why wouldn't we do it.
It took all I had not to pick up a pencil and scrap paper and say knock yourself out.
On a similar note our Reservation Receipt Printer ran out of paper. So I took it apart and went to get another roll of paper. The nice thing about the Reservation Station is that people can make reservations to use the computer and the Reservation Receipt Printer will print out a little receipt with the patrons library card number, computer number and time to use the computer. OK so sometimes I have to show them how to decipher the receipt but if they have multiple brain cells then it's pretty simple. So I return to find a guy trying to make a reservation and wondering why he didn't get his freakin' receipt. With the printer all taken apart in front of him. He had to move parts of it to make his reservation.
All I could do was stare.
I think I may live in a village of idiots.
