Please do everyone a favor when you go to a book store, don’t accrue massive piles of books which you do not intend to put back.

It’s pretty sad to see a friend who you’ve known for the past 2-3 years head out to do their own thing. He’s got the real balls, and I’m stuck here in Georgia thinking I’ll find something here. Ugh. Well Joe, godspeed in all your future endeavors!
And visit us lonely souls ever so often…
…please?
I’ve been getting political lately, its about time I got off my ass and did something about it this time. So, if everyone reading this can vote for Obama, that’d be pretty cool.
This is fast becoming “The Barnes and Noble Odyssey”, but I’m sure cool things will happen when I’m not at work soon.
But anywho, Barnes & Noble seems to have this small problem, people will just sitting down and read books for hours on end, then not buy them, this is a huge problem, especially in the comic book section.
Which is what this douchebag was doing. The guy had he’s feet up, shoes off and was just kicking back with a literal PILE of graphic novels right next to his chair (we have these comfy chair scattered around the store) for a good 3 hours, and he’d been there since I came in at 6, so god knows how long he’d been there before.
So then, he just gets up and leaves, and his trash stays behind. I give him the benefit of the doubt and leave his stuff alone, until you know, enough is enough. After cleaning it up, I run into him and he gives me crap (it’s just plain creepy to call the employees by their name), so I tell the manager, and she gets him the food I threw out and everything’s cool, cause it’s not like I did anything wrong.
THEN he asks us to get the books we put back, and doesnt even read them.
Please do not be this man when you go into a bookstore. Please?
Well, we get out at 11:30pm after closing anyhow, it’s just an extra hour, and it’s worth brownie points. So why not?
