First off, let me say how annoying it is if you see children, ages 9/10 sitting in Borders, with no parents, just plain ol' reading the Manga. With no intention of buying it. Sure, I'll read a chapter or two in the store to decide wither to buy it or not. But I get pissed off when children (haha, I'm surely not a child.) sit there, reading the Manga, I would like to buy, when they can go and read it, without my annoyance at the public Library. And they where sitting in front of the 'H' thru 'K' Section too. D:
There's a deal out now that if you buy a Viz Manga, you get a sampler book. So I went today to Borders, (Hahaha, I had about 60 bucks! >D) and I bought the first of a few series... Hana-Kimi, Eerie Querie, Full metal Alchemist, And Gun Slinger Girl. So I go up there, (Without my mom because she always looks through my books for material she doesn’t like.) And the lady gives me my Bag.
And I look inside and I'm like "Uh. There is a thing going on that if I buy a book from a certain publisher, you guys are supposed to give me a free book with a bunch of samples of other books in it."
Stupid Blonde chick who obviously doesn’t know what she's doing: "Ummm. Well. If we are giving away books, it's probably over there..." -points to the music section-.
Me: "Mmnhm. Well. I've gotten some of them before, and it says they aren't for sale."
Girl: "Then why would we have them?"
Me: "-deep sigh- Just forget it."
>__> I've gotta stop shopping at Borders... I gotta go to my Local Comic shop, they are so much nicer, and they don't look at you weird when you have a book with the cover of two lanky guys kissing. >///___///<
Okay. I'm done. :3
