Whoa. I work at Barnes and Noble, too, lol. (Just looking at the above comment.)

And thank you for this post. Thank you.

I realize that there are definitely some retail employees who aren’t doing their damn-all best to offer good customer service. But frankly, I rule. As do my co-workers.

And this post gets another AMEN from me.

Thanks for stopping by Jan. Unfortunately I have a million of them. Like today, I am filling the bread. There are a couple of loaves not in the right spot. The ones in question sell for $.79. They were in the spot for another loaf that sells for $2.59. There is a full 8′ of the cheap, errant loaves (maybe they were trying to up scale themselves, who knows) right below where they were. Guy looks at me and says “How is the consumer supposed to know which is the right price?”

First off, don’t talk about yourself in the third person. It makes you look like an idiot. Actually it makes you look like something else, but I am trying to keep my language clean here.

Secondly, the tags, doofus. THE TAGS WE HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT UNDER EVERY FREAKING THING IN THE STORE SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!!!!!!

But, yeah.

Thanks for stopping by.

Namaste.

Good one. I’ve worked in retail for years. Now, just part-time at B&N. My very fav. remark from a customer was on Easter, yes, Barnes and Noble is open on Easter. She said, all dolled up in her Easter finery, “I can’t believe you’re open on Easter.” I held my tongue, did not say - We probably wouldn’t be except for dolts like you who shop on Easter. I really wanted to but I figured I’m better and smater than her.
