Debate: Should we charge late fees or just ban repeat offenders at our tool library?
Last month someone kept our pressure washer for 3 extra days, but then last week a member returned a circular saw broken and didn't even offer to pay for repairs since we started the library 3 years ago in Portland, so do you think fines actually keep people honest or do they just scare off the good members?

Who actually pays these things off without getting pissed off?

Getting pissed off" is a pretty strong way to put it, but I mean, yeah, it's annoying having to budget for something you probably didn't want in the first place. I guess if you go in knowing it's just a bill like anything else, it takes some of the emotion out of it, you know? But honestly, who's really happy to hand over a big chunk of cash for something that just sits there?
