edit: Rob, are you still working there? Or do they recruit fresh meat every year? I just want to know whether they will have another 25% off soon - just found out that book I need will be in next week.
No, I'm not working there. The only place I've ever been fired. As you can imagine, the shit-hole is very political, and one of the managers (manager A) didn't like the fact that I was working with the other manager (manager B) in the course-notes shop. Manager A originally hired me to carry boxes -- as you will have observed, I have a good box-carying physique
-- and manager B's assertion that I could run the course notes shop made manager A cranky.
Unfortunately, manager A was higher up than manager B and got me fired for 'disobeying her'. Coincidentally, I only found this out recently through 4th-hand gossip. It's great when employers aren't upfront, isn't it?
James (jimijojo) told me that there is currently a 25% discount. I'm going in tomorrow before work, methinks, to have a snoop around there and in Text in the City.
