I can appreciate a man who does not hide his true thoughts behind a veil of politeness. However, I would also appreciate it if he showed me his wares instead of the door.

The man at the register is rude as fork. Look, I appreciate a bit of cutting sarcasm. But not directed it at me! I have literally done nothing in the last hour to deserve it.

Well, that's a bit of your own fault then! You're not supposed to “google” it! You're supposed to look it up in a book!

Believe me, if I were, I would have already put him up for adoption. Can't let you beat him up, though. Unfortunately. Ask me again tomorrow in case I change my mind.
Until then, might I offer you a free book as an apology? I can recommend Tolkien's The Habbit or Milne's Winning the Poop.

smart choice. you dont want to be on my bad side, mate.

Aug 5th 2023

🐍 AppleJSnek

Of course not, Sir. Would you like to come in tomorrow? The owner of this establishment should be back from his trip to Edinburgh by then. Just make sure you remember to ask him for those exact titles and don't let him correct you. He is a bit scatterbrained and confuses the books' names, sometimes.

Never in my life have I been so disrespected. Really, the rudest personnel possible!
The reviews led me to believe the owner of this establishment is sympathetic in regard to any misunderstandings concerning the accidental misplacement of his books into a paying customer's bag.
He was not. Wouldn't even listen to my explanation! He probably thought he was being oh-so clever with his stupid little insults that he hurled at me while kicking me out.
Don't bother shopping there!

Aug 5th 2023

↪ 🐍 AppleJSnek has rated the above review as “Helpful” 👍

Oh, that wasn't an insult. I was just giving you advice to lift from your knees, not your back when trying to pick up coins that have been glued to the pavement.

Aug 5th 2023

🐈 A_star_ion

Well, har-di-har! And I suppose you had nothing to do with that stupid little coin in front of the shop, either?

Two nice men with Saltire-buttons on their jackets are lending me their phone for the moment. You would like them! They also have face-tattoos. And one said he is “so scared” of me – only, he said it in a way that sounded like he enjoys being scared. It reminded me of your fondness of all things spooky!
And they were very rude in the beginning, too, just like you are to my customers. Don't think I didn't notice how you dodged my question.

Aug 5th 2023

🐍 AppleJSnek

Aziraphale, let me ask you a question. And please answer honestly: Are you being very, very English to a bunch of Scottish-Independence-Hooligans who are already threatening you?

Aug 5th 2023

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

Aziraphale. Angel. Are you being mugged?

I was practically mugged with the prices in that shop of yours and with just how insolent the vendor was!

Aug 5th 2023

Nothing of the sort! I'm sure they were just surprised to see someone else here. This place is downright deserted, after all; we are the only people far and wide.

🐈 A_star_ion

Excuse me?! This is about my review and about how I was treated in that bookshop! How about you start to discuss my compensation!

Aug 5th 2023

🐍 AppleJSnek

@A_star_ion There should be 50 quid in front of your entryway. Now bugger off.
Angel, how about you give those people their phone back and then don't turn your back until they've left? Because I currently have no car and I'm not sitting on a train for 6 hours to go and get you out of trouble, just because a bunch of humans want to guillotine you for being a posh looking royalist. Again.

Aug 5th 2023

I don't know how you did it, but there really is a 50 pound note here! Thank you. It really was the least you could do.

Not a clue, my guy! But I was just about to give up on online-dating and then I scored a date with a solid 10 on Grindr, so I'm abso-fucking-lutely elated! And then a link in the sidebar led me to this page for some reason.
