Last month, I ordered Paw Wax for my 13 year old dog, and a Dremel 300 for my son's birthday from Amazon. I'd like to think B&N can compete, but I've never used their website and last time I bought a book from a brick and mortar location, it was sad.

I'm old enough to remember when checking out of a book store often involved a short conversation about books rather than a "No Thanks" to a Godaddy like gauntlet of magazine subscription offers and membership cards coupled with watching another human being humiliate theirself.

Sorry but I don't care if B&N puts tits in the box with their tablet, I have no love for the brand.




They really need to get that gauntlet under control. In the past, there have been times where I was on the fence about a purchase and the tie-breaker was that I did not want to deal with getting pestered about the loyalty program yet again.
