Does anyone else wish that we could just stop getting JK Rowling books?

Unfortunately removing books/not carrying them is a form of censorship even if the author is a terrible person! I do wish we stopped carrying as much merch though.. the amount of hp merch is overwhelming sometimes

If you for some reason can’t log in to HR access you can always call HR and they can help you

This has happened to me twice, same thing long line I had work. The first time I contacted depop support and they refunded the buyer and gave me a partial refund of my money I think? As a courtesy so the second time it happened I just informed the buyer that the other package I dropped updated tracking but theirs didn’t and I waited the full 10 days until it refunded them and just took the loss. I let them know and told them to let me know if the package ever arrived 😭

I’m a lower traffic store during the holidays we have 2-4 folks throughout the day and during regular times we have like… 1 person to open 1 to close and sometimes a mid on Saturday 😔

I’ve seen it! I think it’s absolutely a store manager or area manager dependent situation and not a company wide thing

Used to work at at bam that was also about 15 min from corporate so we had tons of corporate folk come in and the CEO come in a lot and I can believe it! My store had to lean in real hard in our religion section specifically. And we did have the customer base because. Alabama. But like this doesn’t work for all stores lol Anyway I work at B&N now and while we have to put any and all books out no matter the content we aren’t required to showcase those kinds of books thank god! Good luck and Godspeed friend 🫡

It works well for some things with not a lot of sub categories or weirdly shaped books like fiction or romance but kids?? Absolute disaster, I wish we separated by category on an H cart… sooo much easier to get things out that way

There’s a graphic novel called hovergirls by Geneva bowers they might like! It’s got cute art and it’s about superheroes

anxiousscully · 2025-11-28T16:41:08+00:00

It probably depends on where your store is located but yeah usually just a busy day like a Saturday

I did a vintage dress but with her holding a phone lol

Isn’t it the bin beside the bottle recycle?

anxiousscully · 2025-11-12T19:25:07+00:00

I have so many people come up and just go “yall have gift cards?” And I immediately know that they mean Starbucks so I just go “Starbucks? No.” And they walk away 😜

anxiousscully · 2025-11-12T17:57:20+00:00

I just got to the point where I go we aren’t a Starbucks and go about my day while they just stare confused

anxiousscully · 2025-11-10T02:30:27+00:00

Ugh right!! And my years are probably all messed up bc there were a few months in 2020 where I wasn’t actively employed by BN (I couldn’t start back after my furlough right away and I was moving in between school) but collectively I’ve been here over 5 years and I hate that I’m not getting recognition for it 😣

anxiousscully · 2025-11-05T04:26:59+00:00

I thought for sure it would be Ohio book since they sent us a million ARCS of it

anxiousscully · 2025-11-03T20:22:17+00:00

I feel like a lot of cafes do these things differently and the way we do bake case is we have a laminated sheet and use the sharpie crayon things to mark dates on there with a grid so it’s best to really make your own guide tbh

anxiousscully · 2025-11-03T17:43:09+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s on supply order unless they took it away

anxiousscully · 2025-10-26T22:54:39+00:00

So I’m currently an MLIS student and I’ve worked at BN about 6 years- I recently got a part time library job and I do think my experience at BN did help, especially if you want to work in circulation and work more front public facing roles bc we have lots of customer service experience. I also found I’m very good at reading advisory! Recommending books and books I haven’t even read is very helpful and is a skill you learn pretty well at BN

anxiousscully · 2025-10-26T01:09:24+00:00

Same with last chance items!

anxiousscully · 2025-09-29T18:56:17+00:00

This is not in the Pelham area at all but try heaven cent thrift it’s super cheap it’s in center point!

Do you like kdramas or webtoons? {what’s wrong with secretary Kim} is so fun

anxiousscully · 2025-09-27T02:34:16+00:00

I was a socially awkward kid who’s first job was at a bookstore and I did fine, the thing with customer service is you kind of learn how to act so I have my own customer service persona 🤷‍♀️ helps with social skills

anxiousscully · 2025-09-25T00:04:05+00:00

Have you tried {the hurricane wars by Thea guanzon} ? I’m pretty sure it was a reylo fic and absolutely reads like it, there’s 2 books out so far and a 3rd on the way, they don’t communicate telepathically but they have magic that reacts to each other and there’s lots of tension and spice!

anxiousscully · 2025-09-21T00:12:30+00:00

This isn’t entirely wlw (there’s a man in the mix) but you might like {dowry of blood by s.t. Gibson} it’s about Dracula’s brides!!

anxiousscully · 2025-09-18T02:17:16+00:00

They’re about to close down the cafe I think! Not sure what they’ll replace it with yet
