I don't know how Barnes and Noble stores are elsewhere but the one in Burlington Vermont is a freak show. The employees look like they should have a circus barker introducing them.
"See the man with his eyebrows shaved off!!!"
"See the woman with tatoos covering her entire body!!!"
"See the woman with the bone through her nose!!!"
Considering that Barnes & Noble pays so poorly, what do you expect? I worked for Barnes & Noble When my husband and I moved to another state to start a new business with a friend. They paid minimum wage and I was cheated out of promised health insurance.
I don't know about Burlington, but each time I pass through Montpellier, Vt, I believe I am in a time warp with aging hippies all around...
"See the Witch with her dyed black hair and all black clothing. Listen as she describes the details of her art."
For the record, she referred to herself as 'Witch', saying that by using the term to describe herself as a practicing wiccan, she could desensitize the term and get away from the Halloween idea of 'witch'. And she shared with everyone who came the 'ideals' of wicca and loudly and openly scoffed at any books from one of 'those Christians'. I don't go there anymore.
