Be Kind To Us Booksellers
Posted by David | Filed under Literature, Philosophy
Just as netiquette aptly describes proper behavior online, there should be a similar set of unspoken guidelines for regular, offline retail shopping, specifically bookstore environments. Unfortunately, most people don’t seem to think so.
If I were to ask some of the customers I deal with regularly, they might answer something like this:
- What, isn’t putting books back YOUR job?
- Of course I’m keeping a watch on my child — their lil’ destructive rampages so cuuute!
- It’s perfectly fine to tear the plastic from a new book, so long as there’s another wrapped book to buy once I decide I like it.
- Oh, those coffee stains will wash right out of the cover.
