Weird Questions at the Library

I'm working tonight and I've had some weird questions so far, only an hour into my shift. Is it a full moon?
  1. Do you have any free coffee? Answer: No -- we don't even have coffee you can pay for. (Answer that makes us all sad, since when this building was being planned, all the library staff argued for a cafe in the library.)
  2. Do you have any peppermints? Answer: No. (Thought to myself, "Why are you asking me this? Is your throat bothering you?")

Apparently our students are hungry and thirsty tonight, or else they are unable to stay awake and they are coughing and need something to calm their throats down.
