Barnes & Noble seems to have an ideological problem with any right-leaning books.
A few years ago, I purchased David Schipper's book on the impeachment of Pres Clinton (I forget the name) and the clerk gave me a mildy dirty look when I handed it to her. I looked at her and said "What's the problem?". She said nothing and rang up my purchase without saying anything. I didn't even get a thank you.
If you can, you should go to Borders. They seem to be much better about keeping some of our preferred titles in stock. They also seem to be not as snooty as the clerks at Barnes & Noble.
If you get poor service or scowls at a store, ask to speak with the manager.
I think B&N CEO is a major 'Rat contributor. Someone posted his stuff (contribution record) from the CRP site on here a while ago.
Time to find other booksellers.
-a clerk at Walden's once asked me to make a one dollar donation to feed the poor, since I had just about the exact amount in cash and no more, I said something like .."no, I am not through paying my taxes yet (this was around March), maybe I can afford it after that..." He started in about Bush and tax cuts for the rich. Prior to this I had heard him berating a young female clerk for being too slow. She was waiting on an elderly woman next to me, when I snapped. I told him off in no uncertain terms and taunted him to continue -- needless to say he likes his job and was as polite as he could be much to the amusement of the other two there. (I was firm and insisted that I was an avid Bush supporter and that the tax refund I got went to much needed expences!)
When I get that sort of stare, I say loudly to the person next to me, well at least Kerry has not been proved to be a Rapist like Clinton.
