Books-A-Million

Books a million filled a nice void when borders closed. They have a great selection and helpful staff. They also have a good membership program

This is the worst bookstore I have ever been to in my life. Every time I go here, there are hardly any customers, and lots of employees shouting personal conversations to each other across the store. It is impossible to not overhear at least one person's opinion of some work snafu they are having or what happened to them in their personal life last night. In addition, if you are interested in real books, you will not find them here, because all they have are the latest bestsellers and teen paranormal romances. One time I asked an employee where I could find the books by Toni Morrison. She had never heard of her! Then she asked her manager, who asked me if I meant the professional skateboarder. I don't understand how someone could work at a bookstore and not at least have heard of Toni Morrison. Another time I was kneeling, looking at a book on a low shelf, and three employees walked over and immediately began having a conversation over my head, as though I was not there, standing uncomfortably close to me. One of their legs was even touching my arm. I mean, for Chrissakes, I'm a big guy. There's no way they missed seeing me. When I stood awkwardly to get out of the way, one employee rudely pushed past me to shelf a book. Was that their way of asking me to move? I've never been treating so poorly by any employees of any establishment anywhere. This is a horrible place. I recommend you stay away.
