My family and I got thrown out of a Borders, a week ago, when I asked to speak to a manager, was not satified, and asked to speak to THEIR manager. They refused, and told me to call a 1-800 number. I told them that I was not satisfied with her answer, and would not be cowed by a manager, get your boss on the phone. . . she refused, asked me to leave the store, and said she'd call the police. . .
The issue: the vaguely-female clerk insulted me, claiming that only "inadequate" men with "p*nis envy" read military or science-fiction books, and a MILITARY SF book (John Ringo / Michael Z. Williamson's "The Hero") meant that I "must want to oppress women, children, and the poor."
The manager said "well, this is a bookstore, we allow free speech here". . .
Needless to say, I'll never shop at Borders again. . .
Gee wiz..talk about spewing bs. Did you file a written complaint?
I always buy my conservative reading at Borders, partly to smirk at the angry clerks ringing up my purchase.
You should have told the clerk that the only women who read or write the feminist bilge she obviously prefers are the ones that aren't getting anything in the sack, if you know what I mean.
When I voiced this theory about feminists during a religion class at my private, all-female undergrad college, I literally had classmates wanting me to be thrown out of the class. Guess I struck a nerve. So much for free speech, though.
Definitely call the Corporate headquarters and complain.
Hmmmm? They always forget that free speech doesn't require that I listen .. I never shop at Borders .. period!
Just about every one I write gets published; I think it's because I try and insert a Zinger somewhere.
