This is such a shame! Every time I go into a borders to buy manga, there are a bunch of teens blocking the book cases, laying under tables ect, just reading the manga. They need to hire security or something, I bet there would not be nearly as many lay offs if they did!

As I mentioned on another thread, the Borders in my area has stopped selling manga and graphic novels as well as comic books.
It doesnt look good. |

Considering that the manga cows don't actually buy anything, and just wind up ticking me off, that wouldn't bother me one bit. Kick the manga cows out, you're not getting less business, just less bodies in the store. This is a shame to see Borders in the trouble it is. I buy most of my manga there, even though I could get it cheaper online. I like being able to walk out with a big stack of manga, and besides, it's not like I only buy manga there. |

Borders apparently has a huge problem with manga theft. One of the employees I talked to there last month said that most of the money lost through book theft is from kids stealing manga. This has led to Borders doing some annoying things with their security tags.
I don't know if all Borders stores are doing this, but at the one closest to me, security sticker tags are now placed directly on artwork inside a manga. What's worse, the glue on the stickers is so bad that trying to remove the tag will rip the page. The stickers used to be easy to peel off, but thieves would just remove them. And when the glue was made tougher and the stickers placed on non-essential pages, thieves would just rip those non-essential pages out. So now the tags are placed directly on artwork. I can understand the need to do this, but unfortunately it also puts me in the position of not buying manga from Borders anymore. |

Wow didn't know they did that. Any chance of me ever buying another manga from them as just gone away. |

Yeah, someone to tell 'em "hey, kid, this ain't no liberry!!!" The Borders down the street from where I live closed a couple of months ago. I noticed that their prices are almost always MSRP and rarely any kind of discount, especially on their DVDs and CDs. It wouldn't hurt to be competitive, especially when someone can purchase the exact same thing at some big box like Best Buy or FYE for significantly less. |
