This may not have been intentional. My experience with Best Buy is that their stores are staffed by the least intelligent 16-year-olds they can hire. Additional requirements for employment there are a bad attitude, arrogance, and membership in a high-school A/V Club.
If you put constraints on how Amazon sells used books, then fairness dictates those constraints apply to all other parties including "bricks & mortar" bookstores, used book collectives, individuals, ebay sellers, and other internet marketers. Perhaps the Authors Guild would like to see a law prohibiting the resale of any book within 180 days of its first publication. Perhaps they'd like to see the same law applied to all private property. They suck.
I like the Tattered Cover, and I'm a civil right supporting Libertarian, but it's not *the* place to go.
Amazon has a bigger selection, better prices, no sales tax, free shipping, and a more enjoyable shopping experience. If I want a cool place to hang out drinking coffee while reading, I'll go to my own living room. The only advantage Tattered Cover has over Amazon is that the time from desire to fulfilment is 23 hours less. I sure would like to support them, but it just doesn't make any sense to shop there.

Well, don't forget a periscope and sonar.
In Denver they considered, and the voters rejected, a 168 mile high-speed monorail to take skiers to the mountians. Total cost $4 billion.

One of the coolest art projects I ever saw was done buy a guy who took a Polaroid every 4 hours for an entire year of his life no matter where he was, or what he was doing. They were displayed sequentially on the gallery wall. Included were shots of him taking a dump, and a lot of (365?) 4am dead-of-night-in-bed pictures. Think of what a pain in the ass this must have been! IMHO, totally worth it however.

Or do what I did. Get a "happy customer tracking card" under the name of someone else. Perhaps in the name of the Chairman of the Board of Safeway:
Steven A Burd

Pleasanton, CA 94588

or the Chairman of the Board of Kroger:

or the Chairman of Winn-Dixie:

You usually aren't asked for ID when applying, and you can still use cash or any other form of payment at the time of purchase.

Also close the loopholes for boxcutters, automobiles, beer, baseball bats, and other objects that can cause death and destruction.

When will someone come up with a chip I can implant in junior's head that will do all this stuff?

It's not the heat, it's the humanity.

That's nothing; have you ever bought a bottle of water at 7-11?
$1.25 for a 16 oz bottle
128 oz per gallon
Your cost $10 per gallon
More evidence that people suck.
>> It has a 60,000 work vocabulary
1. That's probably a 60,000 worD vocabulary.
2. Most Americans wouldn't want a robot with a vocabulary 3 times as big as theirs.
3. We fell behind in television development, and that hasn't hurt us any.
