Calf Shit

I swear it was calf shit.

The guy said it was cat shit. If it was, that cat was very ill and needs medications.

I was directly handed five books. Two of them were handed to me separately. Those two were fine. The next three were on one stack. All together. I took the first one off of the stack to scan, but noticed that something crumby was on it. As I'm going to wipe it off the crumbs, I'm noticing that the back is sticky. Then I noticed the smell.

I realized it was sticky and smelly and wet.... I grabbed the sanitizing wipes, but when I got it wet, the smell got even worse and then I looked at the other two books on the counter.  There was something oozing out from between them. I lifted them and WHAMO!!!!!

Stink to high heaven. It was terrible! I went to wipe it off, but it was just awful! I had to get that stench out of the way! I just kept wiping. The patron was still there and I asked him if he had any idea what was on these books. Without bothering to investigate, he just said, "I don't know."

His theory was that it was cat shit. Well, cats don't lift one book, shit on it, put it back down, lift the next book, shit on that, put it back down and then lift a third and extremely heavy book, shit on it and put it back down and squish and squash it all over the edges!

Well, I'll save the rest of the shit details, but suffice it to say, he was charged over $100.00 for the damaged items.

Nasty.

Never a dull moment.
