Check out this review of Menlo Park Library on Google Maps

Update: 1 day later I confirmed my hunch : upon arrival i saw the same female employee (dark hair & face mask , maybe Latina or Asian? ) . Walking to the back I noticed at least 2 people with shoes 👟 off . I sat down & worked on my laptop 💻 for 2 hours. During this entire 2-hour period the same lady never came back to the area. And at least 5 other employees walked thru but said NOTHING to the 2 people with their shoes off. Hmmm.

 Yesterday, the gal came back within the 1st 15 minutes I was there as if intentionally looking to "get something" on me. Now I can't fully relax here knowing I am a targeted person ( why me ? What did I do ? I'm a good guy, a nice guy ) 

****

initial entry: Since they decided to come after me "Search & Destroy Style" for having my sandals off in the farthest corner of the library, next time I will be watching to make sure they NITPICK every single other person. You have set the NORM. You must abide by your own rule enforcement now. You can't just nitpick me. you MUST NITPICK EVERYBODY.

re Menlo Park LIbrary

so i walk past a bunch of library patrons , a few bedraggled homeless and their bags & stuff, all the way to the back corner of the library, nobody near  by. I kick off my sandals under the table (and no, my feet are not smelly). I start working on my laptop when suddenly a female employee sneaks up behind me and says "Excuse me sir, you need to keep your shoes on" . Say what ?

I see all kinds of behavior that library staff never enforces, but they choose to find me in the furthest corner of the library with my feet "bare" under the table not bothering anybody ?

I know this game: Get something on the new white guy ASAP, so that we have "something on him" and won't become demanding. Problem is I'm NOT the new white guy. I've been around. Maybe you just haven't seen me before. And you don't need to get something on me. I'm not here to find fault with  you. I'm not the "boss". Just leave me alone and we'll all be fine. Don't nitpick me ! Oh, at the same time she was nitpicking me, I could see a fellow across the room with his shoes off under the table, and she didn't say anything to him.
