I've been in four times this week. It's been a really stressful week and my way of coping with depression and anxiety flare-ups is to lure myself out to a familiar place... and I just happened to choose the book store (because I can go spend time writing in the cafe beside it), and that meant buying three new books, plus a notebook the fourth trip because I smartly forgot my notebook that day. Same cashier each time and she didn't say anything but I was judging myself assuming she was judging my being there so often in one week XD

As a bookseller I can tell you now that when we ask people for help or if we give a recommendation and you've read the book or have comments we LOVE to hear it. Most booksellers are avid readers themselves and love to hear about people's favorite books so that we can recommend them to other readers (or read them ourselves!) Also we never judge people with huge stacks of books we really celebrate it. One because it proves that people still love and go to real bookstores and not just online, and two, we know those who buy multiple books are real book lovers who will probably come back! Also as a bookseller it is really really hard for me to not go home everyday without buying at least one book. TT_TT The struggle is real!

me in my head: sooooo,, I'm just gonna explain to mom how much I've been wanting this book and how much I've been looking for it and how much it means to me and she should understand and say yes to getting it. easy peasy. me in reality: **follows mom around and shows her the book a few times without saying anything and hoping she takes the hint and doesn't ask how much it costs**

The book I was looking for wasn't here what do I do don't panic don't panic don't panic DON'T PANIC I'll just come back another time .... WAIT WHAT IS THIS OTHER BOOK IT'S SHINY MINE

When my aunt gives me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday I literally forget about the other gifts and give my parents an evil smile. I tell them "So which one of you is taking me to Barnes and Noble? I have list of books that are calling my name so let's get going."

I'm not allowed to go into bookstores anymore, my bank account cries when I do. But no one can stop the Amazon orders!

I AGREE. But I have some things to say tho. If you're in a bookstore, please PLEASE DON'T REARRANGE THE BOOKS LIKE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE. Take it from me, I've been working in a bookstore for almost 2 years now, and it might not seem like it, but we do have a system. so pls pls don't. Aaaaand we are also massive booknerds, so don't expect you're talking to someone who doesn't know their shit xd yes, I might know nothing about dutch literature(I'm dutch, work in a dutch bookstore) but I DO know a LOT about fantasy, Y/A, and childrens books. We only want to help you find the best book we know, so yes, I'm actively selling V E Schwabs serie bc it's my favourite serie. I can't see in your head if you already read it or not :( But otherwise: YES YES YES. I have to leave my wallet at home so that I don't buy new books every day :')

I have that problem of "BOOK IS TOO HIGH UP" every day... 15 and 5 foot 2. It's not a good combo.

The whole "That bookseller better not ask me if I need any help because they are asking the wrong person. If anything they need my help," has actually came out of my mouth. Every time I go to BAM and they have a new worker who asks if I need help I get a little annoyed. Don't they know I'm a regular here? Poor things.

it's like looking in a mirror wow

"$50 $50 $50 you can't spend more then $50 because the other $50 is for sa- OH MY GOSH IS THAT-- IT IS I NEED TO GET!!!"

The thought I get on a bookstore is that should I buy the 1st book on my TBR list or the 100th one, first.

The pure judgement of when you ask for where a series is and the worker thinks your just getting the first book and you come back caring all 8 books in the series...

When I am in a bookstore I am taking so many pictures from books to remember getting them later

I'm with you when it comes to erotica, I just run from it hahaha.

ahhhhh I love this video. Unfortunately, I live in Australia and a $50 gift card will only get you 2 books in total :( Why is everything so expensive in Australia?

'If I just stand here with the cover facing out they will just notice it' I DO THAT ALL THE TIME!!!

Mostly bookstores overwhelm me (unless I'm just going to hang out, not try and find anything particular) because there are SO MANY CHOICES!

can I live here?! ≧﹏≦ Can't relate more,this is me when ever I go to the book store 😂❤

Literally me

I feel like Jesse you pretty much hit the nail with all of the thoughts that go through my head at a bookstore

Everything is SO RELATABLE hahahahahah. Especially the stupid stickers! Literally today I had to peel off 3 stickers!!! And it was AWFUL!

I love it when miss peregrine's home in the video because thats my favorite book series.

I love how much time you take into writing your videos

This is so accurate! XD For me, I'm always making a budget in my head on whether or not I can live off of Ramen for a few weeks in order to afford 30 beautiful books

Thoughts Watching This Video As Someone Who Works In A Bookstore: The hardcover VS paperback argument is a struggle when we always see new releases the second they come in, i've definitely read the back of a book and the second it said "sex" put it down as if someone knew what it said, we love the "just one book" people because it's never just one book lol!, damaged books are so easy to come by - customers shove them in, staff shove them in though we try not to, shelves are evil, and gravity dude! but get that damage discount and you're solid - the elderly never remember if they've read a book or not and they always "forget their list" and it gets real annoying sometimes, $50 gift card = 4 books? not where I live honey, display as in facing outward or on display - either way we dont control the displays and it's all about how the books fit regarding if they face outward on a shelf - people had smelled books right in front of me and i love it every time, stickers on books help people! and they come off easily (if they don't its not the sticker, its the book cover), we have to ask people if they need help - it's like illegal if we dont, especially if the boss is around. Hope this was useful?

I like BIG BOOKS and I cannot lie! 😂 I honest sung that song in my head while shopping at Barnes and Noble.

That face at 42 seconds. I'm dying. Love these types of videos!

OH MY GOD, THE SCENT IS EVERYTHING!

I think the “this is damaged!” thing is funny because yeah in normal bookstores I’d also be like that but my town has a little shop called “bookmarket” that has slightly damaged books, books that were accidentally upside down, etc, and you can get them for up to 80% off the original price which I think is amazing. It’s also a little cryptid bookstore as it often changes locations (although it will always be somewhere on main street) and it’s always like “oh it’s not here anymore? Oh well.” I often find it when I’m not even looking for it, then I go inside and find a book (or a book that has the subject) I’ve been looking for! I bought two heroes of Olympus book there, both for €10,- (with only slight damage on the cover) when the non-damaged versions you’d buy in other bookstores are about €19,-!

this is so pure

Wow. Came out swinging with that first one 😂😂😂

This is SO relatable omg. Also I want to work at a bookstore, Just imagine spending even more time there

Always felt that I can help in arranging books, especially in a library.

Me in a bookstore be like : "I want this. And this! And this also seems interesting! And I also need this and this and this!" While my mom's probably thinking "i want to go home. This sh!ts to expensive. When will she learn that money doesn't just grow on trees?"

Omg the introverted one tho IT'S SO ACCURATE LIKE HOW DO I RECOMMEND A BOOK WITHOUT ACTUALLY SPEAKING TO THEM THE STRUGGLE IS SO HARD

1:40 I KNEW JESSE WAS GONNA GO OFF

All my thoughts exactly. (Especially the introverted bit & the perfume bit!)

"I don't necessarily want to buy this book, but it's checked out at the library, so I'll just *very casually* sit in one of the chairs, start to read it, and hope none of the employees call me out on it."

Used bookstores are my weakness since everything is so cheap and in pretty good condition at my local store.
