i hate the bookstore!

thefunkyfresh by thefunkyfresh · Jan 31, 2002 · 91 views · Journal

Stupid bookstore people! they are so retarded! the whole thing is a huge scam, you buy your book for 50 to 100 dollars, and the next semester they buy it back from you for 3 bucks and resell it for 20 times that.

I was just in the bookstore, and the guy at the counter was so rude, he's all talking on the phone to somebody, complaining how students buy their books from the store and then return them and how thats such an inconvenience to the store. well listen buddy, if you knew what a pain it was to be dishing out a couple hundred bucks every semester on books you hardly used, maybe you'd understand a little better! pisses me off.

Also, college professors are so into themselves. if they write a book, they make you buy it, even if you are barely going to use it for the semester. Such arrogance. We were talking in the bookstudy last night how arrogance is a direct fruit of the devil. and that's what college professors are... fruits of the devil (or fruu-etts of the de-vill)

Aright, I'll let you guys in on a great bookstore on-line. Its AllBookstores.com This is a great site because they list 15 differnt sites where to find your book for less.
Also, I agree on the professor thing to a bit when the professors start getting upset about how much the price has gone up and yet they arent seeing an increase on their commisions. So one professor said, 3 people get together, buy the book and photo copy the pages you need. We were like, THIS ROCKS!

yeah my friends and I bought our books online a few times. it was good. I never sold any of my textbooks back to the bookstore. they are a bunch of crooks. I sold a couple to underclassmen, but I actually still have most of them.

Not that im advocating theft or anything, but in our school i know a kid who jacked like 30 books for this semester for people. However i just dont buy books at all thus not making them any money or lose money in the other kids case :P
