"Hi! I was looking for a book that you had up front about a year ago - or maybe it was two - and I asked Bernie at the front counter if you still had a copy. He said that you were out, so I asked Cicely in the back, and she said you were out, so I asked Bill in the DVD section and he said you were out, so could you get me a copy 'cuz I have to do a report on it by tomorrow?"

I truly fear even the possibility of working in a bookstore. If working in a liquor store turned me into a completely unrepentant straightedge, working in a bookstore these days would probably make me take my eyes out with a grapefruit spoon and burn off the tips of my fingers so I couldn't learn Braille.
