True. It's been a long time but I can probably still deal with the great unwashed (bastards to a man). What gets up my arse is not being paid the same as 'real' frontline staff.

You could always pull a pile of books down on yourself and get hurt...

Do you have to take this lying down?

Yep. It's a 'management directive'. The only plus side is they have to tread very carefully. If I do end up doing the same work as the frontline staff, the management will be in deep shit if they don't pay me the same.

What a way to go. Buried alive under the local studies section.

Don't KILL yourself, dumbass. Just enough pain to warrant a disability claim. :D

(Disclaimer: No I really don't condone such things, but sometimes douchebaggery must be fought with douchebaggery...)

I could drop a few big books on my foot. Those Stamps of the World volume are some big ass books. :D

Read the books. That'd have more of an effect. You'd be a slavering basket-case for months and mentals get loads of £££ in disability.

Just grab the whole Twilight series and drop the stack on your foot. Should put you out of commission (on their dime) for a while. :D

I'd use them if we could keep them in the building for longer than a minute. Damn those thirteen year old girls and their love for an oh so dreamy vampire.

Well, next time someone goes to check one out...

Grab the book.
Scream "NO! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT! EDWARD IS MINE! EDWARD, I'LL PROVE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!"
Start slamming the book on your hand repeatedly.
Collect disability, etc., and be sternly instructed never to be within 10 feet of a customer again. Ever.
