Now remember I work at a bookstore...where we sell books...I get paid because we SELL books...this is NOT a library...the man is a seminary student...graduate school...
"I really only need to read about 10 pages out of this book. Do you have a copy machine here?"
crickets chirping as I stare at him...
"I'm sorry sir, we can't do that here."

he thinks for a few seconds...
"So I guess I can buy the book and return it tomorrow, right?"
my chin falls to the floor like a character in a Tom and Jerry cartoon...
"If that's your prerogative, but you didn't tell me that."
I know text books are hard on the budget but he just asked me to break copyright laws and then tells me he is going to use a book for free. Books that I sell to pay my bills. People will never stop amazing me.
