Two, count 'em, TWO customers asked where our Christmas sales were at in the store.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS LITTLE BABY JESUS - IT'S HALLOWEEN!! GAH!!
Also, I have dealt with myriad "But I need to have that book read by tomorrow for school, why don't you have it?" whiners. Standard answer: "Because your fellow classmates beat you here, the University/JCollege/High School doesn't order your course books for this store, and it is available as an ebook." I need a button that says "I am totally not responsible for your irresponsibility".
Other random gems:
- A Dance With Dragons is so not available in paperback. Yes, I know it weighs a lot and isn't cheap. I have no control over either if we are talking books made of paper, ink, and paste. If we are talking ebooks, it's maybe half the cost and the weight of only tens of thousands of bytes. Your choice.
- I don't care about your political views. I sell the books. I am highly unlikely to read
book. There are so many other better things to read. - I mended all the plush in the store last week and sewed all the hermit crabs back into their shells. Totally worth it to watch customers warily approach the info desk when the bookseller standing there is armed with needles, pins, and oversize dressmakers' shears (I forgot the embroidery snips, oops) and barricaded by a pile of plush.
