I work in a library.  We're obviously far too helpful!

All we get from customers is stupid questions. 'Where is the plug on my wireless speakers?' being my personal favourite.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

We get boxes of chocolates, tins of Celebrations and Quality Street, tins of biscuits, cream doughnuts, ice cream Mars Bars in summer, bars of CDM, and assorted garden produce such as runner beans and fresh herbs.  It's not wonder we're all overweight!

Whoops - should have read 'no wonder'.


We do get plenty of stupid questions and awkward customers as well!

Least customers show their appreciation. What's it like working in a library goldencup?

Noisy and good fun!  It's more like an Internet Cafe with books really.

Sounds cool goldencup. It's great when you have a job you enjoy. I love reading books as well.

I used to work in a Uni library  and it was nothing like that there. And nobody gave us any chocolate (or appreciation, for that matter.) Although we did get 'priority' access to the books we needed for our course

Not good then.  I think Uni libraries are generally like that.  I think some people come into the one I work in just to banter with the staff!  And we don't get any priorities with the stock at all, we have to pay fines like everyone else.

I wouldn't have given the staff at my uni library chocolate - a slap and lessons in politeness maybe!

I can't imagine why they give it to us sometimes - but they do.
