I figure it depends on what it is,
if it's damaged or not. Etc...

Nope, I worked in Wal Mart at the service desk and the only
things that were returned to the manufacturer for credit were items that were
damaged for some reason.

credit.

You know, it was later
compared to re-turned stuff at Wal-Mart. I don't know about everywhere,
but I was just thinking in re-reading this. Unless I'm highly mistaken, in
some places it is not only not right to do it, it is *illegal* to put
returned goods on the shelf and sale them as new.

I agree Greg.
I can't imagine how you'd possibly look through it in 10 days and not
have any bent or ruffled pages, etc...

Still taking it home on a
ten day loan, while neat that you can do it...they still should put
them on a used book rack IMO.
Ten days taken home, isn't
quite the same as looking at them while browseing. Were I an employee,
I would love it. But were I the customer, I wouldn't like being
sold a used book as a new one. lol
Because no matter how you
slice it, if it's been out of the store for up to 10 days...it ain't a
"new" book. lol

Well very few actually take advantage of it. Most of
the time someone gets one to read on lunch or while there is no
other work to be done. No different really than customers coming in
there and getting a book and sitting down at the table and reading
it. They don't stop customers from doing that. You see it at Books a
Million all the time too. They don't ever really buy the books, they
just get them and sit down and read parts of them while in the
store, trying to decide if they do want to buy
it.
Angela
I figured they would
have to look new, but that's kind of deceptive to the public. I
was wondering if that's what they were doing...
I would suspect if it
ever became public knoweldge it could back fire on them though,
because the books aren't actually *new* if someone else has done
read them. Their used......

Well we have to bring them back in
excellent condition, otherwise we have to pay for them, but yes
they go ahead and sell them as new. The cover can't even be
creased though and we are only allowed to keep one for 10 days.
After 10 days we either return it or pay for
it.
Now that is
NEAT!
But I have a
question, do they turn around and sale the books as *new* when
you don't want them?

I just don't see the point in even
having a "banned list". I mean yeah completely disagree with
their opinions and views, but isn't that part of what is so
great about America is being able to have those different
views. I don't agree with half of what any of the starts
said, but if I started adding them to a list of stars I
would never watch/read/listen to again, I'd have no form of
entertainment. Even though I didn't agree at all with what
the Dixie Chicks said
or how they went about it, I still listen to them. I'm not
going to quit buying a cd if it sounds good. Same goes for
Steven King, if the book is good, I won't stop buying
his books. And on the upside while I'm still working at the
bookstore, I'm able to "check out" books like at a library
so I can bring it home and read it and if I like
it, I can buy it, if I don't , I'll take it back. And
for the record, King's newest book, Wolves of the Calla
is like #2 or 3 on the Best Sellers list right
now.
