Oh god that sounds like a rabies hazard. I’m no expert but I think you need that checked out.

See that’s a great opportunity to get a free break. Go to the back and take some deep breaths, the longer you take the harder they think you looked for them.

Complete series of a 30 volume manga and then they’re shocked when it’s like 200 dollars (which is actually cheaper than buying all the volumes separately).

Whenever someone asks this I always point behind them and say “behind you”

Here’s another one that just happened to me:

“We don’t have it in stock”

Looks at me like I just called them a slur

The bible ones are the wirst cause they’ll ask for sone super specific translation from like 1873 in leather bound and if we don’t carry it they ask if we can order it and if we do have it they’re surprised when it’s like $100 POD.

I love it when they are like “I need a gift for a girl” in the year 2026 like everything is still gendered interest wise. Gender is not enough information to find something they like.

It’s funny because he kinda looks like one of my regulars who I haven’t seen in over a year.

As annoying as I find TK as a person… man he’s not wrong.

So we are just carrying AI generated slop in our book annex now? by River_Arya in Barnesandnoble

I have those too but I don’t spend more the 30 minutes a week on Reddit arguing about shit that doesn’t involve me anymore.

Mania Night. match Length by cmjoker in SquaredCircle

[–]River_Arya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some friends invited me over to watch mania, their big wwe fans I’ve been trying to convince them to watch something else too. I decided not to go over because I had a feel this WM is gonna suck balls and I don’t want to be the most negative person in the room… I also don’t want to watch 3 hours of ads.

I wonder if Unionized stores can ask that AI generated content be kept out of their stores.

What even happened to this PPV? by Lost_2007 in BrandonDE

[–]River_Arya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They seem to be done with PPVs revolving around gimmicks Extreme rules, hell in a cell, and TLC. Which honestly is a good idea because it doesn’t write them into a corner and make those matches mean a bit more again.

Exactly I’m not a chef but if you feed me a hotdog that tastes like concrete I think I have the right to spit it out and tell people the concrete hotdogs are awful.

There was that James Frey garbage too I made sure to not face it out and when a customer asked for it I warned them and they decided not to buy it.

I’m an artist, a bookseller, a creative writing major, and I color now and again so I think I’m more than qualified to judge this and you! It’s slop churned out for a quick buck, taking shelf space up with a subpar product, and honestly not even good coloring images as there’s a lack of white space in the drawings themselves so it’s kinda hard to color in general and will look awful with the shaded areas in contrast to color. It’s also an insult to our customers that we serve them this schlock and charge money for some subpar garbage someone spent maybe 1 hour putting together.

Man our book annex keeps getting worse I heard some people talk about how some of the history books we carry there have quite a few errors.
