unfortunately, i don't have that leverage because i don't actually buy anything there. otherwise i think it's a fantastic idea! if i ever buy something i'll pretend that i'm a regular customer and complain about the bathroom. then i'll storm out in a huff muttering, "that's the last time i buy anything here! paying to use the bathroom, indeed."

Common sense ... barnes and noble has better selection, better atmosphere, and better prices.

B&N rules i went to one in michigan while visiting my mom that was by far the best book store ive ever been too. havent been to a borders yet, not many in my area, and its more convenient to order books online.


that sucks to hear about them charging you though, i really dont know why some places are so anal about letting people use the bathrooms

Originally posted by daffodil i'm a little annoyed with borders in d.c. (the one near dupont). i went there to use their bathroom to change clothes before work this morning (don't ask), and they wanted me to PAY. that's right, you had to deposit a token that you paid for at the front desk. before y'all point out these two things to me, i'm going to tell you i know already: 1) it's standard practice in europe. i know, and i hate it. i think it's fascist to pay a pound to piss at harrod's. 2) that the payment thing is in place because of people like me, who only want to use the bathroom. regardless, i don't like it and i don't want to see paying to use the toilet become standard in america.

If you're not a paying customer why the fuck should they let you use their bathroom to change your clothes? They're a business not a public service created for your convenience. Use the bathroom at work

like i said, i know. and i couldn't use the bathroom at work because i couldn't walk into work wearing the same clothes i was wearing yesterday i went to au bon pain across the street instead.
