I have never been treated so rudely.

Never to patronize the Book Corner again. Last evening Rick and I took some books into the Book Corner used book store in Woodbury off Radio Dr. This store was recommended to us by a couple of our friend, so we thought we would try it. When we got there the owner was in the back so we waited for her to only be yelled at that we set our book on the wrong counter. We are OK we will move them. She made a snotty comment about not taking hard cover books unless they are new release or childrens books, Agian OK I will put them in the car.(From me)only to be told NO JUST LEAVE THEM! As she looked at what we had we looked around. Rick found a book he wanted so we went to the front to find out what kind of credit we had. To be told she was only going to buy 2 books, (she said that they are all Star Trek or hard cover) There was alot more than that as I had about 20 romance (soft cover) and Rick had 5 Star Trek. Our thought was OK we will take that credit. Rick did not know that the store policy (which is not posted anywhere) was that you can use your credit to pay for half of the cost and cash for the rest. He said he would used the credit to buy the book. Well that start her into a tyraid of how she was not a book exchange and she was tired of people thinking she was. I calmly said we had never been in her store before so we did not know her policy and she should not be yelling at us. She proceeded to yell some more about that she did not have to be nice to anyone and she was not a book exchange (she was rolling her eye looking at another customer). I then told her she had come highly recommended to us by couple of friends and do not appricate being treated like that. Only to be yelled at somemore so I told her to go to Hell and walked out of the store.

We then went to the other used book store in Woodbury on Woodlane. Where we were treated very kindly. The sales person at Mainstreet Bookseller was telling us how they are getting alot of business because of the Book Corner being so rude. She also told us that the owner of the Book Corner even slapped a customers hand for trying to look at a book she did not have shelved yet.

Thanks for reading the vent. Enter the Book Corner at your own risk.

Now I need to vent.

Yeterday Rick's car needed a jump at 4:30 pm. He was at 494 and France. So I went to help him thinking it was not the best time to be going that direction but it wont be too bad. Until I get to 494 and 24th (by MOA) there I sit for 10 minutes not moving looking at the exit. Thinking should I get off and o the frontage road as far as I can? After 15 minute and I have moved one car length I decided to go for it. I kept thinking it had to be a really bad accident to make it so we did not move. As I was going past one to the roads that went over 494 I looked and there was a police car blocking the bridge. I thought or the accident is there so if I go to the next cross street I should be able to get back on 494. We I was not the only person that decided to exit 494 so the traffic was really bad. As I sat waiting to be able to move about 3 car lengths per light I hear on the radio that the problem was not an accident it was that our wonerful President of the United States was on his was to Eden Prairie.

Ok now that you know the details here is my event.

Who has decided that the President's schedule is more important than the rest of the world. I do understand that he needs to have protection and they need to close roads to keep him safe. But come on He was going to a fund raiser for someone, do ya think that maybe he could have arrived alittle earlier or maybe an hour later so he would not have stop the traffic on the south side of town. You know Eden Prairie has a small airport why could he not have taken a chopper there then drive to the hotel? It is a good thing that I did not have a child to get from daycare as I would not have made it in time. It took me over an hour to get from 494 and 24 th to 494 and France. I sorry but that is NUTS.

OK enough venting.
