I love borders by the way, I enjoy chatting with the employees every time I visit, but I also live in an area where we have two and both have closed. And I feel darned sorry for the staff that have all lost their jobs due to this fiasco that Borders management got mired in. The only one open now is about a half an hour's drive away. Not conducive to easy shopping, let me tell you. I personally prefer to buy my books at a real store, so this is upsetting to me. Now all there is is *ONE* chain or, like I said, driving out of my way to find another. So yes, it is a question that inquiring bookstore lovers want to know. Sorry it bothers you. If yours is still open, I feel lucky for you and your customers.Laurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170629471427858872.post-39832348268033259852011-02-07T04:34:38.035-08:002011-02-07T04:34:38.035-08:00People are rude.

That's no different from asking someone what their annual salary is.<br />I've always thought working in a book store or library would be a wonderful job.

I work at a library, and every so often, we get questioned about if we're still going to exist, etc. I just smile and say, "Oh yes. Of course!", which usually settles things.<br /><br />Sending some positive thoughts your way. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456689516505172959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170629471427858872.post-70366020996634841462011-02-06T08:22:47.901-08:002011-02-06T08:22:47.901-08:00Yes, some people do go to the homes of others and ...Yes, some people do go to the homes of others and ask those awful questions. Poor you: you can't even give them a good old-fashioned "How dare you?!" response because you're supposed to be serving them. I hope it gets sorted out soon and with a positive outcome.J.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02806805528636359436noreply@blogger.com
