So, Baylor Bookstore is trash. Wanna know why? Sure, I'll tell you.
(1) They jack their prices up like crazy. Understandable for a school bookstore, but dang, a 60% increase is not good business.
(2) What happened to me yesterday.
OK, so I finally got my VISA check card from Bank of America. I had to get one because they basically own the school, and Bank of America ATMs are the only ones on campus, so I finally gave in and got one, because ATM fees are too dang high.
I should have gotten my backs, say, i dunno TWO WEEKS AGO when school started, but all my money was on that card, and until I had that, i was peniless. Broke. A pauper. Toni Braxton. You get my drift.
So I finally get my little card and go to town, buting books that I need, and all that jazz. I get to the novel I need for my ethics class, On Personality, by Peter Goldie. There is only one book left, and it looks a bit wore out. You know how when you read a paperback, the spine is a bit wrinkled, and the front cover wont stay down? Well, it was like that.
So I asked a passing saleslady if the book was new or not, because it had no USED sticker on it. Our conversation went like this:
ME: Excuse me, ma'am, is this book new? It doesnt have a sticker, but it looks like its been used.
LADY: Its new.
ME: Are you sure, it looks a bit worn.
LADY: Trust me, its new.
ME:....OK.
So I buy it, then take it back to the desk and Galan starts looking through it and sees that its all highlighted and penciled up. So I take it back to the store not two hours after I had bought it. I get in line and arrange it so that I don't get the lady I talked to before, but she is next to the cashier, and hears everything.
LADY #2: Can I help you?
ME: I sure hope so...I just bought this book, and paid a new price for it, but I just found out it was used, see (I show her the marked up pages)
*brief pause*
LADY: Well, I don't know...you really should have looked at it before you bought it.
It was all I could do to keep my peace. I almost went off, but after talking to different managers and textbook peple, I finally got my lil 5 dollars back.
Now you might say, "What is five dollars to you? It isnt even that much money?"
