Conversation Ideas

So maybe to get us started we should each respond to a few prompts:

1. Weirdest phone extension request
2. Most off-putting book title request
3. Strangest lost and found item

Badger Pocket's answers:
1. "book supplies"
2. a variety of self-help titles (I especially love it when the person requesting the book whispers the title out of embarrassment. Also, I don't believe I've ever had a man request a title which sounded like a self-help book.)
3. One Sunday a man thought that someone had stolen his tiny composition notebook, and even designed two "posters" to put around the bookstore offering a $50 reward for his notebook. Turned out one of our fellow employees found it- he had dropped it while in the store.

High Tide's Answers
1. i can't remember the weirdest (there have been so many) tonight's favorite was the bible department. she called four times too
2. i don't get a lot of book requests since i usually send them to a different department. i have had people ask for sex advice books. that was awkward. oh and the guy who asked for porn! he was so my favorite. came up to the desk and asked me to direct him to the adult magazines. i was like. not so much
3. a lady tried to pay me for finding her address book. that was nice. no strange ones though
