Thinkin' 'bout Inkin' (with David McGuire)



Dec 14 '11
OK, OK, OK, here’s the scoop about the Borders going out of business sale. You walk in and there’s a sign that says “PAPERBACKS 10% OFF!”  Other books like manga are around 20% off.  You know, discounts you can get EVERY DAY just by using Amazon. Then, at the cashwrap there are lines that give the exact same experience as waiting in line at an amusement park, only there’s no ride at the end. Maybe I’m biased.  I used to work at Borders and I left to work at an amesome used bookstore with prices so low a new bookstore could never compete. But I didn’t think it was worth even driving there.
