If you want to sell me books, then for christ's sake sell me books, and do not try to cajole me into loafing, unwinding, getting away from it all or drinking your bastard coffee....
Well I supose I will reveal my plebeian status when I admit that I enjoy a capacino at *cough* Starbucks *cough* while I shop for my next purchase.

As I said earlier, the large chains have closed down all but one of the small shops in town. While I do miss them terribly, I must shoulder some of the responsibility for their demise. If I, and the rest of the shoppers where I live, had been willing to pay a bit more, wait for a book to arive if not in stock, not enjoyed drinking the flavored coffees while shopping, and been satisfied to go without the 40% discount shelves, a few of the old shops might still be around. *Sigh*

Be careful what we ask for, we just might get it
