[Publib] best reference question EVER!! Lol

[Lise Chlebanowski]

Since we've moved out of the reference question category - my favorite is when they ask "Do you know where the restrooms are?" Instead of "Where are the restrooms?" I'm always tempted to answer You know, I've worked here for 5 years and I still hold it all day because I've never been able to find the bathroom...LOL!

     I was working behind a service desk typing my behind off trying to make some progress with a spreedsheet I continuosly plug information into, a patron walks by several times, then finally comes back to the desk I was working at and said "Do you work here?"  Unfortunately, that has happened more than once.
