Borders started going downhill in 2000 when they restructured their store management out of existence. They hired high school students at minimum wage, and focused on stocking massive quantities of best sellers instead of a wider range of titles. They stopped promoting from within, instead preferring to hire general managers from stores like Sears Hardware.
