hey, person here!

Is it so very hard to acknowlege that someone is human? If you want me to help you, could you, I don't know, say hello, and *ask* for help? Instead of plopping a piece of paper with a book title in front of me and expect me to intuit that you want to place a hold on it?

Even when a transaction is obvious (like putting a piece of merchandise in front of a store clerk), I try to acknowledge them as people, say something, and not treat them like an ATM. C'mon.
