Reply #30: I worked in a library in my youth [View All]

And a woman came in to photocopy a check. We had people do this every so often. For obvious reasons, I wasn't allowed to touch their checks, but I could help with buttons on the photocopier. So this woman sat her check on the machine, and I helped her run the photocopier, and then she took her copy and her check. She looked at the check and told me that I had used the photocopier to change the amount of the check. Yes, that's right. I told her that photocopiers don't work that way - they just take pictures, they can't alter anything. I don't know about technology today, but they certainly couldn't in 1980-something.

Anyway, she talked to the lead librarian, and then the whole library system administrator about it.
