I brought in 5 boxes of mixed books with new fiction and lots of hardcovers. $30 and a coupon for 10% off. They won't give you back the books they can't use which is ridiculous.

I asked if he could get the figures out of the countertop he just kinda nodded his head as he continued his call. We then idled around looking around the store again for another 15 minutes waiting for his call to end. It never did, finally we managed to get the mecha checked out.
