The words "mind-numbingly boring" do not begin to describe my morning at work so far.

One hour and twenty minutes into my shift and I get my first call.

*blinks*

I so should have brought something in to do while I sit here.

If they're autographed and are remainders then something is seriously wrong. :-p

We once got "Body for Life" on a remainder skid. While it was sitting up on our bestseller shelf. Very amusing.

Remainder skids also include all the "rejected returns." Chances are it had a microscopic ding in it that the publisher...

...on a really bad day...

...decided wasn't return-worthy. ;)

I like those. I buy a whole skid for my store, for what works out to $2.00 a book, and sell them at an inflated percentage which is still a steal... ahhh. :)

Okay, apparently I'm a capitalist pig. That doesn't bode well.

Hehe.

One time we got a copy of "Body for Life" on a remainder skid. This was when I was working at a store (four years ago). The fun part of that was the fact that the exact same book was sitting on our Best Seller shelf. :-p
