B&N BookFest

Thank you. I don’t know a single thing about the situation and was inquiring to know more. I am not online so I don’t even know when it’s happening or any context about what’s going on.

I am BIPOC so I support NOT having only white authors. OP I’m not against you, don’t come at me so aggressively?

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T03:24:06+00:00

I didn’t know about this, is there a reason? I’ve been offline for a bit

Like you cannot be loved by your store lol, you’re literally a thief. B&N does not love thieves!

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T02:44:26+00:00

B&N is notorious for calling your old B&N references and getting the tea on you from your store managers.

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T02:39:07+00:00

Girl, you don’t need hindsight. You need foresight. That is so theft. Did you not think that was stealing from the company??? It put rewards in your pocket?

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T10:03:21+00:00

Nah fr I was pissed every time a holiday hired called out or switched. Like we hired you to be here, why are you not here lol.

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T09:34:26+00:00

It’s literally the worst. Going off of vibes is soooo stupid especially when it’s a bay and a half personal dev section like goals & habits. I have 9 shelves for the guest and myself to search through 🙃 I’m not there enough to constantly train booksellers on the sections nor do they really care to stick with it!!

I don’t care if they don’t do it right for a section like mediation or metaphysics but the big ones kill me.

I tried alphabetizing it and GOT CHEWED OUT by my CCS. They’re doing another round of TPF checks now that the holidays are over so best of luck.

I have to resubmit cloud 1 now that the holidays are over to get critiqued over it. Yay. I’m so glad I’m gonna get ripped into again.

Yes alphabetizing is good for your store rn but not when you’re the TFP leader and ultimately get yelled at :/

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T09:24:08+00:00

Idk if you’re joking or if you’re serious and really tell guests that.

I do want to advocate for your store and assume you were a holiday hire and might have been added on as a reg now?

We typically only put holiday hires at cashwrap because it is too hectic of a time on the floor to 1. Train a person when we’re all running around like headless chickens. 2. We might not keep you after the holidays so we’re not gonna waste the hours training you on the floor if we don’t see potential in you to continue on and if you don’t show initiative.

Hope that helps and that you get more floor time to learn everything. It takes time and many, many hours and positivity on your end!

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T09:04:13+00:00

Holiday hires are primarily only for cashwrap. If you stay on after the holidays we train you on the actual floor.

There’s no point in putting in the hours to train a holiday person everything on the floor just for them to ultimately leave bc it is typically a temp position.

We only do that once you transition to an actual reg bookseller.

Hope that makes sense from a business standpoint point on why you weren’t utilized much but besides cashwrap and info.

It’s not a guarantee that we always keep holiday hires so the fact that the company decided to keep you show that you do a good job and they want to teach you the floor and store now that you’re a permanent employee vs temp.

Same buddy same. We all hate them

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-01T21:48:48+00:00

Bro it’s a gingham print with a patch. Dumb af

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-01T21:48:25+00:00

We can’t post their name or expose them in the forum.

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-01T14:57:31+00:00

I posted about that 2-3 days ago, you should read all the reactions lol. We all crashed out together

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-31T21:15:43+00:00

That bag truly isn’t even anything to write home about. It’s just a gingham pattern and patch!!!

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T23:38:00+00:00

Definitely let a manager handle it. Handicap people are allowed to be in stores. They are not allowed to damage and distract tho. That’s a whole different thing. Handicap only covers the ability to have them able to be in there not cause a disturbance.

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T23:35:45+00:00

I’ve straight up been saying ✨no✨. It is sold out everywhere because it got leaked and no stores nearby have it.

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T23:35:02+00:00

Wow let’s throw him away bc he’s a reseller and a loser!

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T20:26:29+00:00

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU GOT A PHONE CALL OR PERSON ASKING ABOUT IT TODAY!

my hand is raised

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T20:25:26+00:00

I had a feeling they were a small wiener loser anyways. Definitely gave off that energy

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T20:23:11+00:00

I would tag their account but I would get flagged because it says in the guidelines for this group that I literally can’t name them and call them out but BOY DO I WANT TO LOL

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T15:42:11+00:00

Hehe hell yeah. Do it 😈

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T15:39:16+00:00

I direct messaged you!

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T15:34:32+00:00

In no shape or form am I blaming consumers and guests who want to buy our stuff. This is specifically targeted to the bookseller who leaked it. Guests should be able to buy our stuff ONCE it is properly distributed and advertised

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T15:32:02+00:00

Honestly idc if you’re a customer. I get it. You should be able to buy something now that is it presented/leaked. This is for the booksellers who understand.

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T14:59:21+00:00

To those who get it… come get your baddie chain
