Tales from the stacks
True story #1
GUY: Yeah, I'd like to get a card.
ME: Okay, do you have photo ID and proof of your current address?
GUY: Yeah, I have my passport.
ME: Does your passport have your current address?
GUY: It says "United States of America".
True story #2
WOMAN ON PHONE: Hi, do you have any good movies there?
ME: Well, we have hundreds of movies here. I'm not sure I know what you mean by a "good" movie.
WOMAN: You know, a newer movie.
See, I just had no idea that the only good movies were newer movies, and that all newer movies were good. That's helpful to know for the future.

Just another day
Customer (seemingly intelligent woman in her 50s): Can you tell me the difference between Shakespeare's plays and his poems?
I swear I don't make this stuff up.
