Yah! no more public phone!

We had a courtesy telelphone, which was meant for emergencies, but really (and truly) was mostly used for pimps to check on their hos and to make drug deals.

typical call

SC: *checks beeper/cell phone and goes to our courtsey phone* Yeah, I got the stuff. I'll meet you at the corner. Bye.

so it's gone, yah. People have been asking for it but luckily no one started to get rude about it. I guess they figured they went too far.

Oh, you mean the phone that people would swear profusely on, offend multiple people - who would then complain to spineless management, who shrugged it off?



Kidding aside, congrats on the loss.

Also, the phone people would use to talked about their sex lives on.

Anyway, first sucky customer who got an attitude about no phone. Note, we still have the library phones we use to call other depts in the building. Granted, these phones can also be used to make outside calls, but we arn't sharing!

SC: I need to call my ride! Can I use this phone!
Me: sorry, but there is a payphone in the blah blah building in front of us
SC: I'm not going anywhere to use a phone! And the people upstairs let me use their phone.
Me: Sorry.
SC: Why won't you let me use the phone!
Me: BEcause people were abusing the phone.
SC: *stands there*
Me: *helping other customers*
SC: *goes to stand somewhere else*
Me: *answering phone, inside call; I'm hoping SC doesn't come up to me and rag on me about me using the phone*
SC: *Finally takes elevator somewhere.*

One thing about her is she has a baby in the carriage, so I guess she might have used the phone in the childrens room. The Childrens room will let kids and teens use the phones to call their rides, so they might have let her use the phone before. Of course it could be total bs, and she meant another floor that she never used the phone at before. So when she got on the elevator, she probably went to the childrens room.
Anyway, 20 min. latter, she came back, wanting to speak to a manager about her card, and luckily she went to the Check-out desk for this. She complained that she tried to check out stuff and she couldn't. So a Circ. manager looked at her record. I don't know what the problem was, but I figured I better keep out of the way.
