You used the book right? So is it still new? How is the spine? Bent?. $9.00 an hour so that makes it OK I fail to see the logic. Thermal printed receipt ink rubbing off? Sounds like you owned it awhile?
Then again I do have a magazine I bought at Barnes and noble last week that cost $10.00+ tax.

It's like returning an empty plate at a restaurant and complaining the food was cold. You got what you needed and then try to get your money back.

stupid... if you wanted to read the book and not pay for it you should have read it in the store. i know i've seen PLENTLY of people reading books in Borders... IMO if you purchase the book it is yours. You got your moneys worth out of it by reading it, now if you don't want it sell it online or something. do you return your clothes after you wear them too? "thrifty" people don't go around screwing people. just keep this in mind if you ever own a business. if you sold something would you want your customer to use it and then bring it back? prolly not. looks to me like a case of the golden rule.

People get sooo pissed off the books are damaged, and its because of jerks like you who waste the employee's time and the company's money just so you can read for free. Its called a library, use it.

here you go... from the website....
"We provide cozy chairs, comfortable cafes, and listening stations, so our customers can relax and stay awhile. Our knowledgeable staff is always happy to help you find what you're looking for, or you can use our convenient Title Sleuth stations to explore on your own."
"When Borders opened its first international store in Singapore, the local custom was to keep new books shrink-wrapped in plastic. We took the wrappers off and uncovered a new world of exploration for shoppers there."
hmmmm.... wonder why this is on their website...
