Long day today dealing with Dittoheads at the bookstore where I work
Today alone, I dealt with five or six customers accusing the bookstore and even myself of deliberately not displaying and selling the O'Neill swiftboat book. Although I explained to each and every one that THE BOOK WAS SOLD OUT, none of them believed me, and accused us of being part of a Kerry-coordinated conspiracy not to sell the book.

Twice, customers told me that Sean Hannity "warned them about this", and they would aske to speak to the store manager, apparently at Hannity's urging.

After some idiot accused me of "feeding him a line", I told him that the ones he should accuse are the customers who purchased the stupid book before he had a chance to.

Too bad it's sold out. Who buys that shit?

4. It's a Barnes & Noble
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 08:00 PM by brentspeak
Late in the day, the company CEO sent a company email that all employees were required to read, basically instructing us to tell customers that Regenary Publishing didn't anticipate the demand and was trying to print up more copies as soon as possible. This is exactly what Regenary told Barnes & Noble. Apparently, the cronies behind the smearboat vets were calling Barnes & Noble HQ complaining about the alleged consipiracy. They probably did the same with Borders and Waldenbooks, too.

5. One thing I love about Dittoheads....
is how often they make asses out of themselves. "Hannity warned them
about this". Has he mentioned too that the earth is flat, and that there is
a Liberal conspiracy to hide the truth about it!

Anyway, sorry you had to deal with the nuts. :pals:
