I always use the self service machines when I'm borrowing or returning books. If there is a member of the library staff free at the desk when I use the machines they will tut at me. Is that an unwritten rule of the library? If the librarian is free borrow your books at the desk? Life is so complicated. I find I have to wait till the librarian is busy with another customer before I use the machines or sometimes I just return home bookless and exhausted.
Thank you everybody for your helpful comments. I've no immediate plans to return to the library for further adventures as I'm in a bad way at the moment. But when I'm feeling a lot stronger I will continue to use the self service machines and will keep all your advice in mind. Thanks again.
The great British Tut is a powerful thing. :D
I think most of the staff in my library are unpaid volunteers who possibly do this to improve their social life by chatting with the customers(?)
ElephantInThe Room. You think one day we'll have machines to do our Tutting for us? :D
