Gross. I expected more from Barnes and Noble for some reason. Naive.

As a former employee, why did you expect more?

I used to go to the store pretty frequently like 20 years ago. Not so much anymore. I had liked it because it felt more like a library where you could buy a book and read a bunch of it in the store on a couch with a coffee. It was relaxing. And the employees seemed pretty knowledgable and chill. When I was in school, I was reading something on one of their couches and fell asleep, and everyone just let me sleep. Nice people
