A common phenomenon in libraries is that people will come up to the desk and ask if they can buy a book and we have to explain "No, you cannot. We are a library."
Well today I was browsing at a small bookstore and overheard a man ask the woman at the counter "How do I go about getting a library card here?" And she had to explain that they are a bookstore, not a library.
Anyways, good to know that the opposite phenomenon is also happening.
