This is Disturbing

 

1. Let Borders know you can take your massive reading budget bucks elsewhere and so will your large family, neighbors, workmates, reading group and anybody else who will listen to you.

   I did. A couple hundred more and maybe they’ll crack down on their employees union a little…

   They also do business as Waldons.

   The address is:

2. Ric, good tip.  As you know, I vote with my wallet.

   I also believe that if republicans/Conservatives REALLY want their voices to be felt, they need only cancel subscriptions to NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, etc.

   Sooner or later those people would take notice.

3. Exactly and if you do pay for it, take several copies from the machine

4. I bought Unfit for Command on Amazon and read the whole thing in a day. It was a blast.

5. I originally read about this over at LGF.  The claim was originally found on a Borders employee union forum.  The Borders employees union website now has a note to people visiting from the blogosphere that says the message has been removed and the account(s) created from the IP address in question have been terminated.  They’ve also frozen signups to prevent trolls.  I think their server got bit singed from the slashdot effect.

   My personal experience is with Waldenbooks which is a Borders company and strongly suggests that Borders employees people of modest intelligence.  I’ve had encounters with moonbat level stupidity at Waldenbooks miltiple times and refuse to set foot in the stores after the incident described below.  This is as verbatim as I can recall. 

   Employee: “Can I help you find something?”
   Me: “I’m looking for a magazine.  It’s called Maximum Linux.  Do you carry it?”
   Employee: “Um, what’s it called?”
   Me: “Maximum Linux”
   Employee: “Is it a book or a magazine?”
   Me: “It’s a magazine.”
   Employee to another employee “He’s looking for a um...” back to me “What’s it called?”
   Me: “Maximum Linux.”
   Second Employee “Is it a book or a magazine?”
   First Employee looks at me for the answer
   Me: “It’s a magazine.”
   Second Employee:  “The person who does magazines isn’t here today.”

   What?  They can’t look it up on their computer?  I go to Barnes and Nobel instead.

6. I have had more than one encounter with the bed-wetting, Chomsky-loving, bookstore Bolsheviks that seem to proliferate at these bookstore chains.  Most recently was during a visit to Waldenbooks to find a copy of the novel, The Haj, by Leon Uris.  When I could not find it on the shelf, I asked for assistance from the lisping, eyebrow-pierced, ponytailed little apparachik clerk who sneered, “Why do you want to read *that*?” I got right in his face and informed him that I was not the least bit interested in his little left wing attitude, only whether or not they had the book, and, if not, could it be ordered.  I do believe the little metrosexual was about to piss himself.

   I learned a long time ago that leftists are only interested in tolerance and diversity of opinion when it falls within their framework of “morality.” Confront these little Trojan ponies every chance you get.
