The Devil in the Bookstore

[wagegoth]

I've been reading "White Witch, Black Curse," on the bus. No one has asked for the empty seat beside me. Hmmm. This could work out very well. I'll just transfer the dust jacket to my other books and have lots of room for all my crap on the perpetually empty seat next to me!

So the devil is real, but sex is not?

If you're married, yes on both counts.

[draftermatt]

SC: It's bad enough that you sell books on <whispers> s. e. x. </whispers>, but the Devil is real!

So the devil is real, but sex is not?

I have a name tag on my desk at work that say "HI! My name is Satan". I made it up when my daughter told me she was the spawn of Satan.

[ralerin]

Heck, I would've wandered up, slapped my books on the counter and leered at her and if she asked, I would've said, "I am Satan, how may I corrupt you today?"

[Kitten in the box]

I would have went up and asked if they got the Twilight book in or some other vampire novel just to see the look on the lady's face Uhhh wait a minute maybe not....just my luck she's fly into a tirade on how "evil" I am

[RebeccaOTool]

I wonder if it was RPG guides. I've gotten some strange looks purchasing my Vampire and World of Darkness core books.

I got the devil in me...

[Rapscallion]

Haha, Raps you just couldn't resist could you?

I could - I just rarely do.

[dalesys]

Except they should be ashamed for carrying Twilight, but not for the same reason.

But, they're legally required to carry Twilight.

Yep... Sturgeon's Law.

90% of any creative endeavor is crap.

She should see some of the vampire romance books i've found over the years.

Barbara Hambly has a good vampire series: Those Who Hunt The Night (1989) and Traveling With The Dead (1996).

[PepperElf]

!!!! what? I love twilight!

and heh... she should see some of the vampire romance books i've found over the years. linda lael miller did a rather nice series on it... dunno why she stopped, now she jsut does historical ones that aren't as good.

[Rapscallion]

BE: I'm sorry that you're upset ma'am. Here's the business card for our GM. Your total is $6.66. Is there anything else I can help you with?

What should have happened...

I love the way the employee handled by deftly refusing to either honor or refuse her request to remove the books.

Every time the ridiculous request was repeated the employee just politely mentioned that she'd talk to the manager.

Nice deflection.

Ah crazies: sister of my girlfriend in high school was reading about Wicca, until her step mother saw what books she was getting and pretty much did the Sylvester the cat trick of walking on the ceiling when scared from behind, yeah that did not bode well at all.
