Hypocrite, thy name is democrat

Edwards last week refused to hold a book signing at a Wal- Mart in Manchester, New Hampshire, choosing a nearby Barnes & Noble instead -- even though the book store pays its employees $7 an hour to start, less than the $7.50 an hour paid by Wal-Mart, according to the Manchester Union Leader newspaper.
 
THE PEOPLE AT BARNES & NOBLE MAKE $7.00 AN HOUR?!?!?! THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!!

They are way overpaid to act like assholes and give you a vague, irritated idea about where you might find the book you have in mind.
 
Get this...I went to Barnes and Noble looking for a book on Carl Jung. The clerk tried twice to look it up on the computer, and told me they didn't have any of his work in stock. I snuck a look at the computer. The dolt was spelling it "Young". Sigh. So, yeah, as far as customer service and knowledge go, they're overpaid.
 
Thank goodness for rude clerks, big box stores and teens making spelling errors. If not for them we might have no one to feel smugly superior to this holiday season, right girls? It has been my experience that the things we seek are never hard to find, whether it be books by Carl Jung or assholish behavior in others. If we search it out, we find it.

If, for example, a person were to relate a story online about how they were working their shift at B&N and some haughty, bitchy twat with a boulder-sized chip on her shoulder came in demanding service ASA-Goddamned-P, then I suspect many others would have a similar tale. Or if another clerk related a story of a shopper too stupid to find the philosophy/psychology section of the book store, where dozens of Carl Jung books fill the shelves, and then had the audacity to get huffy while wasting the clerk's time at the computer over a simple spelling error--well, I guess these things are all a matter of perspective, aren't they?

Anyway, wasn't this thread about Democrats and how they are evil? EVIL? EEEEE-E-Evil???

Wonder what Jung would say about obsessively pointing out the faults of others? I better go to B&N and find a book on it...it'll probably be on the liberal endcap right in the front of the store.:retard:

When I go into any establishment, I expect a certain degree of proficiency and professionalism. I give a break to those still training on the job, but once that training is over, I expect that the job be done to at least an average standard. So, yeah, I will complain (at least online) if the clerk at B&N can not tell Jung from Young. That's just basic stuff.

And, for the record, I was looking for a specific book that I couldn't find on the shelf. I thought they might have more in stock in the back.

I never took notice in what direction the dispalyed books lean. I will do that next time.

That's your first mistake, right there.

I know people that work at B&N. Their proficiency in books is somewhat limited to the top 50 best-sellers or Oprah's book club. They wouldn't know intelligent literature if it hit them in the face. Besides, people at B&N working part-time aren't college graduates, nor do they have the time and inclination to learn anything useful. They'd prefer to read what's popular, not what's right.

And, for the record, I was looking for a specific book that I couldn't find on the shelf. I thought they might have more in stock in the back.

Again, I know people that work at B&N. What books that are on the shelves are what they've got.

The only type of clerk at a retail store you can be sure knows their shit are the guys at the video stores. Yet, they're all elitist cinophiles anyway.


Yes, it is Ironic that Edwards went to the upscale bookstore instead of wal-mart. Yet, it's also funny that bush senior didn't know about bar-code readers at all grocery stores during his term.
 
and that McCain got paid for sitting on his ass for five years in Vietnam. He received all of his pay he did absolutely nothing. Damn ghost soldier.

I don't know what B & N you were in, but it's been my experience that yours isn't the garden variety. Nearly every time I've gone in to a Barnes and Noble, the service hasn't been smug, but friendly, and, as a rule, the people have been helpful, and possessed of knowledge which extends beyond the NYT Bestseller list.

Now, I can't say the same for Borders Bookstore. You want smug and uninformed, they've got it in Hardcover, Trade Paperback, CD, cassette, Special order Vinyl, as well as Book marks and Book ends, and three sizes of Self-Aggrandizing Latte. And any commentary on on Borders would be incomplete without mentioning their truly bizarre organizational system.

I should know, I work there.

But Donovan isn't incorrect. If you're looking for crap, you're always going to find it. It may be more easily discovered in some places more than others, but you're more likely to step in it if you're expecting to.
