The One Thing I Hate Hearing Most at Work …

There are times when I spend a lot of time helping a customer find a book and we finally locate it in the store and I hand it to them. They look it over, hand it back and say, “I’ll buy it from Amazon.”

I know I should not be thinking this but what runs through my mind is: I hope it gets lost in the mail.


Support your local bookstore before they no longer exist.
