Mark forbidden to use computers until he pays $4

Hi, Everyone!

I had an incident on Friday with a young patron (between 11 and 12) who often comes in to use the adult public computers. He used to come in with his dad, but I don't think the dad has been in lately. Mark is about 5 feet tall with a buzzed (~2 inches of growth) haircut, and he is on the heavier side. To make this story short, he left yesterday with out paying for approximately 10 pages. And after he left, I found more of his pages in the printer.

He came in today and Mark and I had a discussion. He had money with him, but "his dad would not allow him to use it." So I told him he could not use the computer. He did say he would come in next Saturday (7/24) or the Saturday after (7/31) to pay $4.00 (a figure I gave, as I believe this has been going on for a while.) HOWEVER, he ofter comes in during the week as well, so please keep an eye out for him. He is not a terrible kid and is never disruptive, but I want to put an end to his behavior. He knows he's been doing the wrong thing. If you see him, please DO NOT ALLOW him to use the computer until he has paid his $4. Once the $4 has been paid, he should be watched. If he continues to not pay for his print jobs, he will lose computer privileges altogether.

Mark came in today (Sat 7/24) and paid, right when he came in, before being asked-so all is well!
