My child and their friend were asked to leave after spending a short time reading. ALLL of the THOUSANDS of dollars I have spent at Chapters and Indigo over the years on books, toys, LEGO, games, stationary, cards, DnD, home deco, knick-knacks, insanely overpriced gifts for others, even supporting during COVID??? Unreal! Not to mention all of the retirees who take books and mags into the Starbucks and read for free? For the love of reading? If you are not spending money on overpriced merchandise we don't want you in our store as potential future customers? Wow, just WOW. We should be thanking the heavens that young people choose to READ instead of smoking weed or getting up to no good. And in small town too. Gross. I will no longer shop here and ensure my teens don't waste their allowances & BDAY money here either. We will go to Amazon or Temu now or heck, the LIBRARY where everything is FREE!
There should never be, at any point, anyone asking children and teens to stop reading. Wake up Chapters, if you want future customers, you better work on inspiring a love of reading in them. read more
