I just wanted to salute the other moose-booksellers, I mean, now there are THREE of us.

Or maybe you two weren't counting.

Speaking of awkward book sections: until a couple of weeks ago, in our self-help section, Death and Grieving was located RIGHT AFTER sexuality. Talk about embarrassing.

"Oh, my poor dear. Let us move A Woman's Guide to Anal Sex and see if we can find your title."

We have "retirement" shelved under the heading "Death and dying".

That makes me wince every time.

And now we have "sex" shelved under "Self-Help".

Yeah, I'm surprised about the charging, too. We don't do that either. I feel REALLY bad for you that you have to tell customers that. I bet it's hell ( ... )

Yep. That, too.

We got a complaint because the gay/lesbian magazines were on a low shelf and a child could reach them. So we had to move them all. The complaint also said that we shouldn't carry them at all. At my store, that was really a stupid thing to say. Especially to the particular manager that got the complaint.

our erotica section is beside the westerns section, which is near the entrance to the music/dvd department. i guess it gives the older gents an excuse to look at the erotica :)
