| - This Borders is really hit or miss. They have a really decent selection of cookbooks and that was awesome to browse through so many titles from different chefs who I know and trust, but their fiction section is overall pretty shitty. Of course, like any book store, they have an entire section devoted to Stephen King that pretty much dwarfs every other author, but even there they had a lot of duplicates and didn't have some of his best work.
They're super close to where I work, so sometimes if there's a movie I want to buy, I'll call and ask to see if they have it and, to date, they only came through with something once. I asked if they had It's a Wonderful Life (bought it last year cause, fuck it, it's a Christmas classic!). They did, but only this ridiculous goddamned boxed set version with a bell, because every time a bell rings, and angel gets its wings. Or so I've heard.
Generally, when I call though, they don't have nuthin'. No The Apartment, no Night of the Hunter, and these are generally the classic type fare you'd think a place like Borders would love the shit out of but... eh.
I always get the same guy when I buy a cup of coffee and he's such an enthusiastic dude, he puts me in a better mood right away, so kudos to him!
