This might have been a library student worker, but almost certainly not a librarian. We'd get fired for talking like that to a patron.

Plus, it's not usually librarians working the checkout desk. That's usually student workers.

I do believe they mean the bar...

If they mean the bar then why is the employee referred to as "Librarian"? Are the bar employees are actually called librarians?

If so then for the sake of clarity the "@" should be more specific. If the bar employees are not normally referred to as librarians then we have to assume this occurred in a real library.

RP, you must be in law school

It's an actual library, and it was an actual librarian. It was whispered to the other coworkers, except OIA saw fit to take that part out.

So what the hell is the difference between the students working behind the checkout desk and actual librarians? I say if you work at a library then you are a librarian, with the exception of the janitors and security personnel.

Actual librarians have to have a degree:

but I only knew that because of a comment on Consumerist.
