Upon making sure I was writing about the right store I found out the location I am about to talk about has closed as of 2009. But it was in Franklin, TN and it was called "Half Priced Books"
This is the only interview I have done with that company. It was in November 2007. We had barely moved out to the area a few weeks before. Deciding to branch out past our little city in TN (the city wasn't little persay haha) we started looking farther from home. Franklin was about 45min from home sometimes longer or a bit shorter. I went in and the manager who's name was Tim was really out there.
He wouldn't let me talk about my other bookstore job it was horrible. He specifically told me when I wanted to "We don't want to hear Borders, Barnes & Noble or Books a Million". So when I went to talk about B&N I had to not say the name he was so weird! He even proceeded to tell me they don't give good customer service at *those* stores and talked about the Borders just a few blocks from there. A store I had never heard of.
I knew this would not be a job for me. But I would like to thank CRAZY Tim for pointing me to Borders. Within a week of this interview I had interviewed and been hired with Borders a store I was at for the rest of the time I lived in that state. So if I hadn't gone to this odd stupid interview I never would have found my real job...
