Not a Library

  My local Barnes and Noble book store has a Starbucks and numerous chairs and couches scattered across the store. When I go into it it looks like a library with everyone sitting around reading books and magazines while sipping on some crappachino.  I personally hate grabbing a book off the shelf and it looks like a used book. Hell people if you want to read it buy it or go to a library. I have on numerous occasions looked for a book and not finding ask for assistance. They look it up and they are supposed to have it but some nimrod prolly has it out on some couch or put it back in the wrong place. It has got to the point where I will just buy my books online and not deal with the general public.

Interesting. I've never thought about this before, but I wonder what the profit margins are on coffee/drinks versus the profit margins on books. I can't imagine those drinks are expensive to make.

Yeah, but how many of those people buying drinks would be in there if that wasn't an option?

Next time, rip open a Playboy, find a bench and start jerking off to it. Tell them that's what you would do at home, just like everyone else that is reading books and drinking coffee.

Check out the book section on relaxation techniques and Zen therapy.
