Dear Barnes & Noble

I wish you wouldn't allow unpurchased merchandise into your *Bucks area. Particularly magazines (but also for the record I'm not too wild with the high-priced books lately being pre-read and dogearred either). There were only two issues remaining of a special-issue magazine my daughter wanted to buy. Both copies were in various states of decay - one cover was torn and the corners curled, the other had something spilled on the cover and who knows what lurked inside the pages. Ick. I went to the clerk at checkout and told/showed him, saying I made a special trip here to buy this magazine, but not in this condition. He just said, "OK." No apologies.
I'll let you know if/when/how the poo-bahs at BN corporate respond.
