Hey, more room for scented candles and yoga mats. Yay!

This was one of my biggest disappointments about working in a book store. You're more right than you know.

The good customers never bothered us. The sad thing is how many people come in on a weekly basis (or sometimes even more frequently than that!) and never buy a single book. And yes, they eat over the books too, sometimes ruining them.
It's true, the book stores bring it on themselves, but that doesn't make it any less annoying for the people who work there.
