I bought a copy of Dianetics, by L Ron Hubbard at this Barnes and Noble location in 2007. The staff was friendly enough, I also bought a small hot chocolate (non dairy).
After reading this book the next 6 years of my life were sort of a blur. I devoted myself entirely to the life of scientology, and achieved a respectable rank within the community. During this period my retirement account has been drained. My husband left me for a lady who draws caricatures at six flags. And my cat has been possessed by an alien spirit.
I split amicably from the church of scientology at the end of 2013 to pursue my associates degree as a legal aid. It is a great career choice for an older (fifty thrifty and thriving!) Student returning to school.
Needless to say, I will not be returning to THAT Barnes and Noble ever again.
