I have never before taken time out of my day to write a negative review for anything, let alone one…read moreof my favorite franchises. I drove out to the GameStop mall location at 8:00 pm the night before the Xbox and PlayStation Black Friday release. When I lined up I went to the door nearest the GameStop where 2 people had already lined up. I had drove twice around the building and saw that these were the only other people in line. I stood in line for 4 hours until I was joined by someone else at midnight, who had to driven around and verified there was no other line forming at any of the other mall entrances. This to me was assurance that me (number 3 in line would receive one of the 4 guaranteed consoles. When 5:30 am rolled around the mall employee unlocked the door and then we saw 3 people running to the GameStop from another mall entrance that was further away but unlocked before ours. These when we( all 15 people that had lined up behind us) got to the GameStop we informed the GameStop employee of the situation. He responded and I quote "That would be the malls problem" he then handed out the tickets for the consoles to the crowd at random. He handed out a total of 10 consoles. Having been 3rd in line and standing out there for 4 hours more than anyone behind me I received no console and I will now have to resort to paying 1000 on eBay to get a console in time for Christmas.

EntertainMart is the last of a dying breed, a relic of the past. I remember going to Hastings back…read morein the day in Tyler as a great place to get comics, DVDs, and music, but after it shut down, I had nowhere else to go. EntertainMart is housed in the old Hastings in Midland, and it is filled with nostalgia and grief. It's exciting to be able to find DVDs, old and new, records, comics, books, and more all in one place, but the interior has not been renovated, so there's a slight odor to the place. However, it brings me joy to walk around in this nostalgia trip. RIYL: The old Hastings buildings

I really like coming here. But with my new job, I work 7:30-5:30, come home, shower, eat, doesn't…read moregive me but half an hour or so if I want to come here, but I never find time. I beg and encourage the owner to open on Saturday, you'd get a lot more business, honestly idk how they haven't thought that yet. There's not any other good place like you guys here.

The Barnes & Nobles Booksellers in Midland, TX was less than flattering…read more I'm not even knocking the fact that it is a single story B&N. On January 4, 2026, my daughters and I shopped here. Their calendar selection was extremely limited. The ones they had were a bit damaged--that is, bent up or partially opened or missing the cellophane wrapping. There were a few sections that needed repairing and or sprucing up. In saying that, the huge children's section was pretty great. The prices were a bit exorbitant compared to Amazon. I resisted buying copies of books I loved that I recently read through my local library. The restrooms were not open. Not sure why. Lastly, there was only one person checking folks out. I even overheard the staff at the resource center discussing this. Glad y'all have one, but there is immense room for improvement.

Okay so here's the thing:…read more Barns N Noble as a company and as a whole are AMAZING, i love Barnes N Noble so this review DOES NOT go for the company, but for the store In Midland, TX Now, the thing about this store is, it is peaceful, it has a great selection for it being a smaller Barnes N Noble but it's the people that work there. I always feel extremely uncomfortable going into this store because the workers are always talking under their selves then looking at people and it makes me wonder "oh man what if they are talking about me?" Sometimes when people will ask about a book they ALWAYS instantly say they don't have it and they will look it up and then continue to say they can order it but it will take a very long time, basically trying to get the person not to order the book. It seems very highschoolish or cliquey if you will. There is only one lady there who has a welcoming smile and expression but it seems like everyone else just wants you gone. It seems like if you come in there just to relax, maybe grab a cup of coffee and read a book or maybe go on your phone or even just walk around they don't consider you someone to even ask "Do you need any help?" I don't know, it's a very off vibe to me. One time I was standing and aisle away from my wife, they offered her help 3 times and literally just looked at me and walked off..... kind of.... Weird? I for the love of God wish I could remember one ladies name that works there cause she has always been so sweet and helpful everytime she sees me and always ask what I'm looking for, even if I just want to get away from the rest of the world. She's the best. All and all this is your run of the mil Barnes N Noble but if you want me to be honest some of the workers look like they should have a change in careers. One time there was a kid who like didn't even pick up one of the workers walkie talkies I think it was and it was laying in the ground and she yelled out super obnoxiously "CAN I HELP YOU SIR??" And the kid was so embarrassed and shook. Like, he's a teenager, it's not like he's stealing from the store. It's just a very off putting vibe in there occasionally but it's still a nice place to shop and relax and grab a cup of coffee unfortunately just not as often anymore since it seems like it's not welcoming occasionally.
