I'll explain myself if absolutely necessary, but if anyone on this board ever feels like doing me a favor, this would be it: DO NEVER SHOP BARNES & NOBLE, and, tell your friends not to, too.

I'm sure a handful of you are all like: "No shit, B&N sucks. I don't know why you would shop there in the first place." If that's similar to what you thought, than never mind. 

The rest of you, however, spread the word.

Thanks in advance,

Easy enough since I don't have one any where near me.  Is Border's okay?

I'm pretty sure we don't have Barnes & Noble up here, but I will try to remember to avoid them next time I am down south.

I already stopped shopping there when they replaced the giant history section with an even bigger Christianity section, and stuffed history on one shelf near the bathrooms, behind the Soduku display...And when they replaced half of the science fiction section with romance novels, and stacked the remainder with 169% vampire/witch/werewolf bullshit.

Curious as to the OP, though.

Considering Borders is going under, we all may not have a choice for megabookstores but to go to B&N.

All I have to say is, if you went to the one on Rte 2, then it's your own goddamn fault. Do never Rte 2 anything. Ever.

Yes and explain Rte. 2 also. I never have any reason to go to the part that runs through MA, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
