At one point, someone mentioned this odd couple who were in there for a while.
The guy had a duct tape patch on his t-shirt and was carrying a suitcase, and the woman said she was Canadian but couldn't back across the border because she had been in the U.S. 40 years without papers.
And, they kept taking absolute *piles* of food from the snack table, just heaps and heaps on a single paper plate, and then another plate just like that right after that, and at one point the guy went to the back fridge and helped himself from there too, even though volunteers aren't supposed to do that (because it's the campaign staffers' food?).
"I think they were homeless," one of the other workers was like.
"But did they volunteer?", I was like.
"She did," one of the other workers was like, "And she was really good on the phones, I heard her."
"How about him?", I was like.
"He just sat there and watched."
Later, someone said that they thought that they were probably living out of the suitcase, though the couple said that they were just taking a bunch of books back to the library to return.
