In a brand new Barnes and Noble. They’ve upped their game. Super fancy.

I'd love to see a resurgence of bookstores and the death of Amazon, truth be told.

loganl.bsky.social•70 days ago

But what, if any, book did you buy to read?

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

Three. Two for the kids, one for me.

They were all bought a few years ago by a UK company I think. They started redesigning them all to match a UK chain.

thebmatt.bsky.social•70 days ago

Went to one yesterday. They had this amazing sale: 33% off any hardcover.

I got the new D&D players handbook. I expected it would be an exception but it wasn’t.

racer951y.com•69 days ago

Shit…. Those were not marked I should have tried..

miarrow.bsky.social•69 days ago

It used to be 50%!!

quotednevermore.bsky.social•69 days ago

Thanks for sharing about the sale. @benbumhoffer.bsky.social took me right before B&N closed so that I could get the 2024 Player’s Handbook.

As a reward I treated him to dinner from Chino Bandido 🐼

❤️

quotednevermore.bsky.social•69 days ago

*hugs* Did you guys get our Christmas card?

thebmatt.bsky.social•69 days ago

I was starting to reply to this but then I realized you were asking Scott lol. Bluesky replies are weird.

(We totally got it tho)

scottjohnson.zip•69 days ago

They are a little weird. They show the name but it's not super easy to see.

chrishansonut.bsky.social•70 days ago

Were you in the new Park City one?

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

Nope out in Draper.

jonjagger.bsky.social•70 days ago

But did you have to poop?

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

Nope. Still no trigger.

yoderofkansas.bsky.social•70 days ago

Store's too new. Got let that book smell sink into the carpet and walls first.

apocv.bsky.social•70 days ago

Asking the important question!😆

kenfromchicago.bsky.social•70 days ago

"Poop"? Really, Jon? That's what you're asking Scott about at the #BarnesAndNoble?!? 🤔

Now if it was #Buccees then that would make sense. 👍😁

stevehnh.bsky.social•70 days ago

If you have to poo somewhere, Barnes and Noble isn’t a bad place to get it done.

kenfromchicago.bsky.social•70 days ago

So ... you have ... a chart ... rating public bathrooms? 🤔🤔🤔🤣

stevehnh.bsky.social•70 days ago

Doesn’t everyone? 😂

Great:
Barnes and Noble
Bed, Bath, and Beyond
Best Buy

Not Great:
Any gas station that’s not Buc-cees
Olive Garden
The Mall (any really)

kenfromchicago.bsky.social•70 days ago

No! I do not have a chart of all the best (or worst) public bathrooms.

I keep that knowledge in my head, along with my math. 🤔🤔🤔👍🤣

stevehnh.bsky.social•70 days ago

Dang! I should have invested more in learning math. All I had room for was public bathroom knowledge 🍻

wjmadden.bsky.social•70 days ago

Been visiting several on a trip to the pacific NW. agree - they have all been a cut above what I have experienced in the recent past. Brighter, better laid out, more inventory

ddigitalmedia.bsky.social•70 days ago

Same thing happened to Waterstones over here, they were going down the toilet business wise and suddenly had a massive facelift and wow what a difference.

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

yeah, like I kinda dig being in there now

stravyn.xyz•70 days ago

do Utah B&N also have massive manga sections? Our local store is like 1/4th manga and anime

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

Yep. Huge.

hobbesdawg.bsky.social•70 days ago

There's a new one!?

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

Draper.

s3th.me•70 days ago

There's a new B&N in my town. I need to check it out. Though I don't like that it moved in when we have a great indie bookstore in the heart of town.

Yet... I'm a hypocrite because... well... I buy books from Amazon.

scottjohnson.zip•70 days ago

Hehe. We all are.

s3th.me•70 days ago

Yea... more that the indie bookshop doesn't have the actual book I want then Amazon is easier. Which it is. But still... you know what I mean.

hobbesdawg.bsky.social•70 days ago

Ooh will have to check it out. Not that far from tville after all!

tbkzord.bsky.social•65 days ago

Just watched this and it reminded me of your post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9kOIcNUMnQ

Shopped at one on Friday. We stopped after walking in and just took a deep breath… I love the smell of book stores.
