This is the most grand Barnes and Noble I had ever seen, like woah…read more I was in so much awe, like how gorgeous is this store, I love my local Barnes and Noble but comparing it to the one at the Grove is impossible. I did feel a little overwhelmed because there was just so much and I felt a little rushed so I just wandered around a bit. Everyone was pretty friendly and the store was so open and welcoming. They had so many options, from books to magazines, special editions, little trinkets, we always need those and movies. This location hosts a lot of the book signings and it was so cool to finally get to see the store. Definitely need another trip to LA and actually just spend hours here, the ac was great and I like be surrounded by so many of my favorite books.

I feel compelled to address customer service. Specifically addressing the balding white dude with…read moreglasses with the crap attitude. If I'm spending over $150 in books and games you better validate my parking ticket and we'll get to what happened: I was super nice as I always am towards people who are working. When I said, "oh I need to validate" and his response was, "I'll take a look at that" He looks at the ticket, judges it and then says, "sorry we don't validate if it's over two hours" Luckily in this case...the person I came with arrived the same time I did and was making a purchase next to me, and I asked, "why did she validate his?" These employees looked stopped in their tracks. This was discrimination. He said to me, "oh ummm well it might not work" and I said, "let's see..." He scanned the ticket and it said, "validated" I looked at him and said "hmm looks like that worked..." He didn't apologize, he didn't say anything. He just stood there and looked like he got caught in his shitty customer service. I looked up policy on this and Barnes and Noble are supposed to validate NO MATTER WHAT as long as it's with purchase. THEY COVER UP TO TWO HOURS not "if it's over two hours we don't validate" EVEN AFTER SPENDING MONEY. If i come to the grove, eat, walk around, then shop at Barnes as my last stop because I do spend a lot of time in here because books are my passion then what the fuck does it matter if I'm over by ONE HOUR. "Sorry we can't validate" Validate my two hours, and let me pay for the remaining hours on my dime. Don't worry about if "it doesn't work" If this continues to happen then expect more bad reviews. And I'm getting names next time. Also this has happened three times. I've never made a scene before but the dude at the register just radicalized me. Even my sister who was next to me experiencing his customer service was like, "ew why are people like that. The girl next to him had no problem validating my husbands ticket but he had a problem validating yours" And that's what triggered me. That's what lead to this review.

My friend asked if these prices were in Yen, at which point the cranky owner picked up his phone and started screaming "Security!" Hilarious! We walked out of the store laughing hysterically. They advertise that they sell mushrooms and Salvia, but I'm pretty sure this place has to be a cover for something non-legal that goes on in the back. It's the only explanation why dirty, used kitchen appliances sell for twice the price of a new one. There aren't enough martini's on the Boulevard to get someone drunk enough to actually buy anything here. This place is best enjoyed in the midst of a bar crawl or Sunday Funday. Have a few, come here and laugh your ass off. Just don't touch anything -- the owners will scream at you and then call security. On second thought, touch everything you see. It only adds to the hilarity!
