Good Press for B&N

There have been several articles highlighting the success of Daunt and B&N in the last few days. Our local store is a filthy mess and old and worn out. Do the people writing this stuff even go to the stores or speak to the booksellers? Rumor has it... — read more 

The Flagship

Unethical, cutthroat and disrespectful, the very definition of toxic, yet nothing is done. It’s like management does not care and wants this place to be as unpleasant as possible.

Which store is closing in westchester county?

Now they are opening a new store in Hartsdale New York. There’s no way they can have four stores for a such a small geographic area. Will Scarsdale, White Plains, and or Yonkers clothes what do you think?

I'm shocked what is going on here.

My store manager has been telling other managers and some co-worker that particular employees are worthless and others they are easily replaceable. And these are hard working people. I'm fairly new to this company so I'm afraid to make waves but I'm... — read more
