The Dreaded BSU Bookstore

Ok, so for this semester I ordered my books on line from the BSU bookstore. Well I changed a class so when i went to exchange my books for the new class, the old books were worth more so they credited me that amount back to my mom's credit card no problem, ok remember that.

Well also when i exchanged them there were two books on special order, I should have seen that coming, but I didn't so I waited three weeks each week going in to check to see if they were there or not. Each week they told me that they'd be in next week.

Well finally I got fed up...

I went to the Cbx bookstore in the village and they have 17 copies of Darfur Diaries and a bajillion copies of Survival in the Killing Fields so I thought i'll buy em here and return the special order forms to the BSU bookstore and all will be ok...hahaha I dont think so.

So I go in there, having already been there once today and I say " I already got these books so I just need to be credited back for their amount, no problem right?"

Nah no problem...haha woops are computers just crashed?!?!

I was like you've got to be kidding me...needless to say I comeback on Thursday since I only have class on Tues and Thurs.

So I go back to the internet order counter and remember last time they had no problem crediting back the amount to the credit card. Well this time the story is different. They give me a paper and tell me to go up front and i'll have to get the credit card number somehow. Well I go up front and the girl up front didn't know what I was talking about and told me to go back to the back again. I told them I had been sent up here by them! Finally after 2 or 3 girls go back and forth were close to proceeding further. The girl attempts to call my mom...well guess what their phone lines are down. O gee how much better can it get? So I call my mom on her cell phone and ask her for the number. She responds well I dont know it and I'm in New Castle with your Dad getting his tooth pulled and I don't have it with me.

GREAT!

  1. Well, with all that store credit, you could buy yourself a hip, moleskin journal . . . or a copy of Computers for Dummies (to give to the bookstore people) . . . or one of those cool fold-out three-dimensional birthday cards . . . or some evil bunny breath mints . . . or Cheetohs . . . or a pricey bamboo pen . . . You've got lots of options, really. ;)
