i usually hate to see businesses shut down but good riddance to borders...there is one right across the street from my church- its all uber liberal, Bush hating leftists that hypocritically drive around in $60K cars and scream about the poor....
quick story about the Borders i am speaking about...July of 2000 i was getting married- our church service was scheduled for 2:30 rather than the usual 3PM... the priest was my cousin and he's long winded and our reception hall was forty minutes away so my wife wanted to give extra time...
anyway the organist never shows up as 2:30...or 2:35...or 2:40....no music- i am in the back sweating it out and my bride is in the limo when her dad explains the situation to her...
my best man- and best friend, says “wait here”...he goes running over to Borders to their music department...he tells the staff the situation and asks for any cassette tapes/CD’s with “wedding music” (here comes the bride, etc)...he's decked out in head to toe in full tuxedo...
the staff member tells him “if we have any they would be over there” and points- does not help him find it...my buddy goes over and frantically grabs two tapes that have wedding music...
here's the kicker- there's a long line at the Borders cashier- he tells the manager the story- NOBODY LIFTS AN EFFIN FINGER FOR HIM!!!! no one lets him get to the front, helps him out or anything....he runs up to the cashier, slaps $25 on the counter and runs out, back across the street- as he was running out they were yelling at him for cutting the line....
oh- the organist finally showed up at 2:50PM, two minutes before my buddy returned from Borders- the organist thought it was a 3PM wedding...
Wow—holding a grudge against Borders Books because the organist was late for your wedding. That’s some twisted and displaced anger. Do you kick the dog too?
