I usually stop by whenever I'm in the area, bringing friends along with me.
There were other times where the staff just seemed disinterested in their work, which made me not want to approach them. Maybe I'm just an annoying customer, but I don't have this problem at other stores.
Too many sections on religion, bibles, and bible cases and only one tiny shelf for mathematics and science books. But then again, it is the south...
I can think of 3 distinct instances where it was quite obvious the staff did not want to serve me and were *very* rude.
U can find about any kind of book u looking for,
There is a good selection of books, you can usually find exactly what you are looking for. It's also very quiet and well kept. The food is decent and the Wi-Fi is pretty good, too, so it's an ideal place to read or do homework.
The positives:
I want to keep coming to this store, but putting up with rude staff members gets old after a while. I understand retail jobs are not fun, but as someone who comes here relatively often (maybe monthly ever since fall semester started), I would hope to be treated better, especially when i bring them business. It is for this reason alone that i am not yet a Books-A-Million member.
TL;DR: Great store, but there are some very rude staff members
The only even remotely bad thing I have ever done here was accidentally step in line in front of someone who I assumed was finished and try placing an order. Had that been the only instance, it would maybe be understandable, but it was not, and keep in mind that I come here often.
Young man behind the counter helped me order a book that I had been wanting. It's a new book by a local author. He was also very helpful in giving me information on getting a book signing for this new author. He was very professional.
So, why did I give it a two star?
*Most* of the staff is about as friendly as any other bookstore, but it *isn't unusual* to encounter a rude staff member.
1 star is still too much. Went to books-a-million today to get my son some books. Well all was fine till check out. Cashier was nice until I turned her down on me BUYING a membership from her. She shoved my books into a bag and offered no thanks or have a nice day. I will not return or do business with disrespectful people. I will now deal with Barnes and noble for my son reading materials.
