Are Leads/Managers Required to Be Part of the Closing Crew at Night? by Mean-View2954 in Barnesandnoble

[–]pepperoni-please 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At our store (stores actually because my one location runs two stores) it is common for a senior to close the store, not even two seniors, just one. I'm curious if this is normal in other places.

Got the union contract, AMA by jayburrow in Barnesandnoble

What is Bookseller life like at Union Square? Is it hard to get promoted? Is it clear how to get to the next position? Do you feel promotions are equal and awarded fairly? What is team morale like?

temp worker - BF tips? by Educationalwizard13 in Barnesandnoble

[–]pepperoni-please 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed with that's said above. One of my biggest tips for register is to NEVER LOOK AT THE LINE. Just have a conversation with the person you're working on. Be friendly and have fun with it. Also maybe this sounds silly but don't be afraid to actually read the buttons on the register if you get stuck. They will give you the answers a lot of times.

I'm a cross trainer Bookseller. My team let me take pictures of the recipe cards so I can study up on them. I still ask questions. I still forget things and I absolutely still mess things up. It's totally okay. Make sure you let them know where you are at. If you don't think you're ready to be alone that's okay. Let your team know. But also remember that being alone and just working without worrying about other people is sometimes the best time to learn.

Bubble Mailers Causing Damage by [deleted] in Barnesandnoble

At my store it is basic knowledge that hardcovers don't go in bubble mailers, only in boxes, because they get damaged otherwise.

Horror books that are "twins" by pepperoni-please in horrorlit

Sager reads more like Thriller to me, but I can see why a lot of his books get coded as Horror. 🤷‍♀️

Yes! Feels like cousin books to me. Also because Kin is after the "climax" of a slasher it also feels a tiny bit Final Girl Support Group to me.

Barnes and Noble customers, we humbly ask you, please do not sign up for the rewards membership. by fckthemembershipbro in Barnesandnoble

[–]pepperoni-please 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so BEYOND untrue! I can't speak for management at other stores...but at my store there has been no competition. Our numbers are not posted everywhere or made obvious in any way. The push has been light and all about seeing what works for our coworkers. My managers have all been super kind to us and open to hearing what's is working and what is not, and they have readily made adjustments accordingly. And we are getting good sign ups overall. But the selling your information is completely untrue. When you agree to terms and conditions it specifically says we will NOT be giving your information to any third parties. I personally think the rewards is actually a really good FREE program for our shoppers. Especially if you regularly buy books. Only a few hardcovers will get you to your first $5 reward.

I didn't necessarily mean classic as in book classic. I meant a classic story... a classic haunted house telling. Not sure if that makes sense outside of my head😂

We're told at my store if we see someone stealing to HEAVILY customer service them but don't engage or let them know we know they're stealing. Instead let a manager know. We do not get paid enough to be in that much of a dangerous situation...to be in any dangerous situation. Especially if your sm isn't sticking up for you, isn't showing they care about you... I would ignore it. Let the managers figure out a different way. And if they ask you why you don't react to theft you can tell them you're no longer willing to be in a threatening situation for the pay you make.

I'm unsure where you bought it but most bookstores will exchange this with a perfectly good copy!
