This one is for Sean Hackbarth (since he has been giving me a hard time of late): what’s up with putting the price sticker on books over portions of the blurb on the back, so that one can’t actually read the darn thing. I have noticed this at several book stores. I am sure that they don’t do it at Sean’s store

I hate that kind of crap with price stickers! It’s also bad when they won’t tear off without leaving residue behind or tearing packaging.
On food, it’s things like putting it over the sell by or use by date.

I think Borders does that. For some reason they insist on having their own sticker and bar code on their books. Barnes & Noble doesn’t do that.
It does make it easy to know if a customer is returning a book bought at Borders to a B&N. We don’t care. If we can resell it, we’ll accept it.
