HAHAHA! This is a superb post.
A...Oh, Devyn . . . HAHAHA! This is a superb post. <br /><br />Although you have marred all the grand illusions I had about working in a place with filled knowledge, art, history, elegance, and people who uphold these values, I got a lovely laugh from this. May I just say, "I'm sorry" on behalf of all those profligate heathens doing shameful things in the bathroom. *Shudders* Oh, and the mothers who let their wild brood run a muck, while somehow immune to their shrieking, flailing, and the bestowing of little green presents on all those precious books. Lol. I love children, was actually a nanny for 10 years, but they can be utterly disgusting. <br /><br />Thank you for shedding some light on this issue. Next time I stop into my local brick and mortar book store, I will be sure to keep an eye out for these hooligans! Maybe I'll bring a bottle of Febreeze or Lysol just in case :)<br /><br />Favorite quip -- "We are not working for psychic hotline, we don't know the name of the book, we didn't watch Dr. Phil that day, we didn't hear the radio show you did and we don't know your aunt or what series she is reading."

Oh you'd be surprised by the things that happen and the straight up lunatics that frequent the store. People buying religious books are the rudest and cheapest....they think they are the only ones with Him on their side so they think they are superior.

Here here!<br />#2. See #1. People can be real as... jerks, I'm not one of them, (really, I'm not) but I know working with the public means dealing with the impatient, intolerant, and the worst of the worst.<br />#3. Ew.<br />#4. Maybe try the library, although I'm sure librarians keep blogs too, so you may just want to stay home, read your little one a bedtime story and put him down for a nap.<br />#5. See #4.<br />#6. Chicken bones...really?<br />#7. Said on behalf of the majority of the world's population.

I say if you cannot reshelve a book properly lay it on the counter by the clerk, that way they know to reshelve it.<br /><br />And books etc should never be taken into a public restroom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534282835311967919noreply@blogger.com
