Should anyone wonder why there are no jobs for the
unemployed ? The Predatory Weed known as the INTERNET is about to strangle 10700 more. Just stick your head in the sand and ignore it.
It won't get your job, will it?
Or you could help cage it with walls of taxes ,and shut off
the subsidies that nourish and supersize it. The job-killing
MONSTER no longer needs your coddling. Your gov't
right now is actually paying for it to destroy more jobs
as fast as possible!
Predatory Weed known as...the INTERNET??? I'd have to disagree. The Predatory Weed known as CAPITALISM, is more like it!
Borders was ready to be acquired by a "white knight" of sterling reputation. But the creditors and lenders decided that Borders was "worth way more to them" liquidated. To hell with the whole reading culture. Once we know who these creditors and lenders are, as well as the identity of the Bankruptcy Judge who sided with them, the whole of the reading community can and will organize boycotts against everything they do in business, including the Judge and, of course, his appointer. But, we'll have still lost Borders...
I guess this leaves Barnes & Noble as the only major bookseller with retail outlets. I think there are still a few Books-a-Million's around, though no longer in my city. Sad day for readers and others who love real books you can hold and feel. I hope B&N can survive the long haul. Browsing in a bookstore is still a fun thing to do.
I buy my books online and download them...just makes life easier when you're always on the go. But I do agree that a real bookstore is a great place to spend some free time.

Borders did not change with the times. I also had some bad experiences dealing with Borders in California. Snooty people for some reason. It appears bad customer service might be a player here. They are a victim of technology and lousy management.
I see at least 7,000 potential Military Enlistees. Americans willing to join the Military and be part of the multinational counterinsurgency mission, and SAVE AFGHANISTAN from Terrorism.
The up-side; A good paying JOB. The RESPECT of the American people. Training in a more desirable vocation like KILLING PEOPLE.
Hell-fire you folks just might come back home to become POLITICANS, and I'll just might vote for you-all.
What is not mentioned is possible lack of good customer service that may have contributed to this. Businesses who do not care about customers, and corporations who do not train their employees to be open-minded and gracious to customers are doomed to failure.
I am hoping that RITE AID also crumble to the ground. They give hostile and humiliating treatment to its customers uing coupons or making returns or something to that nature.
exactly what I was thinking. you have to have good customer service otherwise the public does not want to shop at your stores!!! including having an inviting store not some cramped cheap place with overpriced items compared to competitors. Barnes and Noble is way nicer than Borders and amazon.com is even cheaper
This really sucks, but I confess that I really can't deal with the attitude of the employee's in my local store. They always act as if I'm interrupting them. I can go to an online site and order my choices for almost 1/2 price and get free shipping to arrive in 48 hours; why should I pay twice as much just to be spit on? Still, this really sucks. Thx BHO!

Spend many a day there perusing the shelves - it brought me lots of joy and happiness :))
