It is also such a steal when everything is so expensive to either get your monthly free book or pay no more than $2 for sometimes completely new books. It's the best!

The record store is nice but it's not very big. They do have a nice selection but I feel like the prices were a little on the expensive side.

Shangri- La Records was up the street from where we had BBQ & as soon as we walked in, the records covered wall to wall. So much to choose from. There was a section with a setup of drums & a mic stand. Came to find out there was a jam session that ended right before we walked in. I really really enjoyed the Memphis sections, whether it was based off of a record label (like Stax) or an artist (like OV Wright). When I found the record I ended up buying, I instantly told myself that I was going to back as long as I'm ever in Memphis. 'B-Ball's Best Kept Secret' is super rare. NBA players produced + performed on the album. I thought I was trippin' because I always heard about it on podcasts & when I saw the tracklist I was like "OH SNAP!!". The individual who helped at the register (who might've been the manager/owner) was really nice & hooked us up with a sticker (I collect local stickers). Great experience as a first time visitor + consumer.

I'm the type of record buyer that would rather walk out of a store with 3-4 records I wasn't…read morepreviously aware of, priced at a point that I'm willing to take a gamble on buying something that I might not be into when I actually put it on the platter and give it a listen. This is the experience I want when I dig through the racks - I'd rather this than finding THE record I want at full price plus or a bunch of might-be-goods made unattractive by pricing that's too high. While the selection here is decent, and there were records that grabbed my eye, there's also a lot of stuff that's readily available at any thrift store across the country, that should/would be in a dollar bin at most record stores. However, selection really isn't the issue. The problem is the fact that more than half of the records aren't priced and you have to bring them up to the counter for the employee to, if I had to guess, price via discogs listings. I suppose since you've shown interest in the records by bringing them up to the counter, they feel like they don't have to be competitive with their quotes - they definitely aren't beating online prices, not even with the cost of shipping excluded. Needless to say, this is an utter buzzkill; what a horrible tease it is to have something pique your interest, excitement and anticipation gathering as you walk to the counter and wait for a price, only to be told a number that you're not willing to pay, that instantly kills your joy, that you could have found without leaving your home and wasting the time and the gas. Seriously, stay at home, you'll get better deals on a better selection on discogs and/or ebay.

This review is specifically for the Starbucks café inside Barnes & Noble. The customer service here…read moreis some of the worst I've experienced. We stopped by to kill some time before our movie, and I decided to grab some snacks before we leave. The cashier who took our order was not very friendly, and not surprising either given past experiences here. After waiting for a bit, our bakery items still hadn't been handed to us so I went to check. One of the baristas (I believe her name was Courtney?) didn't acknowledge me at first and curtly asked if I had already ordered. I explained that we had a movie in 10 minutes and just needed our bakery items. Instead of simply grabbing them for me, she responded with a rude attitude saying orders are processed in the order received. I would understand if I had ordered a drink but I was just waiting on cookies and a brownie, something that takes zero effort to grab. The interaction could have been handled much better and unfortunately this level of service seems to be the norm here. That being said, aside from the unfriendly baristas, this Barnes & Nobles is clean and well organized.
