Of course, libraries are not immune to this, nope:
One time, okay, see, one time, Randy Beaman was working at the local public library over the summer before college in 1997, and a very irate woman waltzed in demanding to know if the library had a brand new Stephen King book that had just been published, and considering how many books Stpehen King puts out, Randy Beaman had to think about this, and realized it was Dark Tower IV, and the only current copy was on hold for someone else, and told the lady that, and the lady started shouting about how she and her husband had been waiting for ages amd ages for the new Dark Tower book and she absolutely had to have it now now now, and when it was suggested that she simply buy the book at a bookstore, she huffed and said that she always took out a book from the library before buying it, because she might not like it enough to buy it. And while this made sense, her attitude was not making anyone want to do anything for her. So the manager was called over, and she calmly explained to the lady that the library was getting in more copies, and we could reserve one for her next week, and the lady sniffed that it was too long to wait, and oh, she'll just buy the book, if she didn't like it her husband would. And she walked out, and everyone in that section of the library started giggling. And Randy Beaman was me.
'Kay, bye.
