So someone took 3 boxes of $1.00 books left out overnight, didn't seem to pick through, just took the whole box, odd. They took about a box worth yesterday, but didn't think it would escalate.

Best friends

"We have everything in common, we have all the same game systems." - Kid talking about his best friend.

Lady with a sob story wanted to sell a bros grimm book, an interesting but valueless book, and nearly broke down when I offered only $1. Then she skulks around the shop looking for what a 'valuable' book looks like and proceeds to break the stool by standing on one of the crossbars.
Spend more time dealing with crap people want to sell than with selling anything!

SDCC09

Just dumped my bowl of cereal all over me and the chair and the floor... argh. not a good start to the day. My pants are sopping..

I hate banks, and I hate BofA more than any of them. Their website sucks, and everytime I've had a problem with cc's or banks it seems to be BofA.

Had a costly return on a cheap online order.

Just got jacked for over $70 on a $10 book that the customer didn't like. They didn't like it because they felt it wasn't published in a high enough quality... Despite the fact that it was described as poorly printed, and there was a picture for reference. An online order, that they returned without permission, and debited the unnecessary overseas express! return shipping from our account. Lost more on the shipping than the book will ever be worth.

offical curmudgeonly bookseller

Managed to piss off a 'customer' (are they still a customer if they don't buy anything?) who felt wasn't helpful enough. He comes roaring over in his huge SUV and slams bouncing into the curb, hops out and immediately gives a poor impression. After letting him in an hour and a half after closing time, while busy with the #$%@# computer (trying to get things finished up to could go home!), and after directing him to the self-help section where the book he wanted would have been - if there was one in the store, which dunno, can't memorize everything (especially the self-help stuff), felt lucky to recognize the author when he named it. After he threw a fit over the lack of help, went back and found a book by the author, but it was the wrong one or else he was too annoyed to purchase it. Guess officially a curmudgeonly bookseller now...
