Store manager Christopher,…read more We stopped by with our son, who wore his motorcycle gear, balaclava and all, as one might wear a shield against a windy day. We had only intended a brief visit, to sip a drink, browse a few books and mostly remained together, a small family wandering among your shelves. (max visit time 15 minutes) Yet one of your employees, your assistant who passed by our son while he was momentarily alone, muttered under his breath, not once but twice, that the face covering must come off. He did not stop. He did not speak directly. He did not address us, the parents. There was no "excuse me," no polite guidance. ONLY muttered judgment. It was a small thing, but in it was a certainty: our son, a minor, had been profiled and treated disrespectfully. When our son brought this to our attention, we were at the café. The same employee continued from a distance, his tone sharp, dismissive, cocky even, claiming he had "told him twice" to remove it. Told him? Excuse me, are you his guardian? And then he declared that wearing a mask to hide your identity in any store is a felony in Virginia. That, by any measure, is inaccurate. The law requires proof of intent of wanting concealing one's identity. Something our son (Wearing ALL his motorcycle GEAR without helmet), calmly browsing with his parents, was clearly not doing. The entire encounter...the indirect comments, the lack of professionalism, the misapplied law, was wholly inappropriate for a minor accompanied by his parents. Staff may be reminded that customers even minors, deserve respect, clarity, and honesty. A little courtesy goes a long way. The statement regarding Virginia law was, quite simply, wrong. It was tossed out as if this law were a blanket statement "felony to wear a mask in a store." In truth, the law is far more subtle, far more sensible than that. It speaks of intent, of committing theft, assault, or some other misdeed while hiding one's face. Simply wearing a mask, with your parents by your side, wandering among books, or shielding yourself against the wind, does not, and never could, meet that standard. And even a store policy, no matter how strict, cannot turn an innocent action into a crime, nor justify rudeness, muttered commands, or the singling out of a child. To claim otherwise is to misunderstand the law entirely. In Virginia, there is no sweeping law that declares wearing a mask in a store a felony. Laws about concealing one's identity do exist, yes, but they are narrow, precise, and bound by circumstance. They speak not of ordinary people, browsing quietly with their families, but of those whose intent drifts toward mischief or crime. -Customers who prefers facts to fiction

It is located inside what comes off as an office building. Once inside there the smell of books is in the air. Love that smell! There's a few racks for adult books. There is a great selection of kids books and products. The bathroom is so cute! It's filled with book posters and is very clean. There is a baby changing station and they even had a few diapers and wipes available just incase. How thoughtful. Bonus for a bathroom and a cute bathroom at that!

I drove from…read morethe city to get it diagnosed and the repair guy wouldn't even look at it which was super frustrating. He recommended other repair stores but why have a support area if you won't even bother trying to diagnose an issue much less fix it? No pricing on any packaging was also weird but they do have a website that's mostly usable. Cashiers can also check prices and stock for you. I ended up buying a few games just so I didn't go out there for nothing but was pretty disappointed based on the services offered on the website. The selection of games is really solid but I don't recommend them for tech support.

We came here to get our Switch's charging port repaired. They were super friendly and much more affordable than other bigger franchises doing repairs in the area. There is a shortage of repair techs in the area, we were quoted a month for the repair which was the same as the other shops. Regardless, our repair was completed and at least 30% cheaper than the competitors. The shop is huge and had so much fun merch, my sons and husband were loving exploring their huge selection of games, while I was checking out their kawaii hello kitty plushies and caps. A little bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip to support this local business!

I like that this B&N has CHAIRS!!! I think the chairs are such an underrated feature of B&Ns, and I appreciate that this one has little reading 'nooks' throughout the store, so you can kind of hang out and enjoy the bookstore ambiance while you read and maybe sip your little drinky drink! This is one of the few Barnes locations in the surrounding areas that actually has chairs and/or book nooks. The employees are very nice and helpful and the store is always in good order and clean. I've had no issues in this store. The only thing that I might consider a potential downside is that this location is quite busy typically, so if you're looking for a quiet, empty Barnes, this isn't the one!
