And, having been one, I can safely say these are the few employees in the bookstore who actually read the books that they sell : ) they're the smart ones who realize that their college degree (or advanced degree) is doing absolutely nothing for them and the idea that it would be cool to work in a bookstore until they get a real job because they love books has turned out to be the most upsetting part of it all - there is no real job waiting.

His head keeps bobbing as he samples a book. Almost makes you want to buy the book for him so he'll go home and fall asleep to it.

This is one of nine complaints I have about Bookgasm.com. You should make book humor a regular thing on the site.

You see, it's not the actual coffee drinkers that sparks this rage. We're not mad at the people themselves. It's the bizarre combination of the two worlds of books and coffee. What do they have to do with each other? Nothing. Who's the moron who first thought they should go together? And who are the idiots who go into a bookstore looking for coffee? Now that I think about it, maybe it IS the people themselves.
