It's a shame.
Went to library to return books today. There's a kid at the book drop, hollering to his mom, "mooooom the book drop is full". I ask him, "Hey, have you tried these automatic new book drops right around the corner?"
He says no. I've never tried it either, but hey.
So the LCD screen says "Barcode down, spine to the right" and it shows an automated flash picture of how to situate the book.
By now, the mom has come up and is trying to scan the book into the return, face up and spine to the left. Her head is less than 4 inches from the LCD screen.
I lay my book down, face down, spine to the right, and the first one scans right in.
She's still struggling with the book.
I tell her, face down, spine to the right. She still can't get it. "Spine! spine to the right" and she's STILL not getting it. I've already got all my books scanned in.
"Here, let me try this." I take the book, face down, spine to the right, lay it flat and SWOOP the book gets sucked into the Book Vortex.
"OOOOH."
I walk away, thinking if you can't fcuking read, why be at the library.....
