East Campus Bookstore
Dear East Campus Bookstore,
I went to your store to buy some used books for college, as I am middle class and relatively broke. Not only do you overcharge for books considerably, and forget to TAKE OFF the stickers on the books where you charged LESS at one point in time, (just putting the higher priced sticker over it), but you charge the same price for a theatre book that looks like it was vomited on, ran over, and left in the gutter as you do a regular looking book. As I explained to the manager my logic, (that I should, in theory, pay less for the puke-tastic book, if I could still read it and peel off some of the dirt), he stares at me blankly and repeats several times in a broken-record voice that "they just don't do that, and all books are the same." nevertheless, I got a book I could read, one where the spine WASN'T torn, and puke-tastic book, which still costs eighty bucks, remains at the store. You @$$holes.
I'd grabbed a book in FTX Books that had a sticker price on it that differed from the shelf price. An employee said the sticker was from a different bookstore (gave me the sticker price anyway since it was lower). I'm betting that the lower sticker price they're covering up also came from a different store. I have no explanation for the vomit book. You'd think they wouldn't sell something that damaged at all. (And how much do you want to bet that the person who sold it to the bookstore got less money for it because it was damaged even though they're selling it as if it's in good condition?)
