Beverly Hills Public Library Bookstore

We purchased a load of books many months ago, I would like to give the library Kudos for the extremely reasonable prices. Also I noted looky-​loos more than people really coming to purchase a book.
Thanks, library :)

If I could give this place a negative star I would. I understand that this bookstore is run by volunteers. However come the f* on! They have people who look like (I’m going to try to be kind when I say this but.) They are WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL OVER THEIR RETIREMENT AGE!!! maybe I should be more kind fine not all are bad but come on this lady working there right now is sure nasty. I don’t know her name but I will describe her. Redish thinning hair with a very reseeding hairline. So this lady comes in and says I bought this cook book last weekend for $ 5 but its missing half of the book as if they ripped out the pages! The lady who I will call «red» said well I can’t do anything about that!!! The customer says well OK well this book shouldn’t even be on the shelves I even marked down what pages were missing. It took «red» forever to retain what she said. finally after the lady and red were bantering. «Red» finally says I’m not gonna give u ur money back but I guess I’ll let u exchange it for something else for $ 5 (tho u can hear it in her voice that she didn’t want to) customer said that’s fair enough! I can always find books here! The customer still had a mouth on her. U can tell she likes to have the last word! Cos even after «red» agrees they were both bantering in the aisles! (Good god I just wanted to tell the both of them to shut the f* up) I found something liked but since I never carry cash and I wasn’t sure if they took cc or not I asked red if it were cash only she looked at me as if I was speaking Martian-​nese and gave me look like wtf do u think and said uh yeahhhhhh! I think I said oh OK just wondering or something… you know shoppers should be able to do both that way maybe people would wanna buy more! Anyhow I bought a set of books VERY reasonable but it was missing 1 book. I said excuse me I know this is a set and its this price but its missing one book is it still at this price?! She looked at me as if I was a alien and said well yeah!!! Its not negotiable!!! I can’t give u a discount!!! The funny thing was another lady was in the store looking at a book and was talking loud and when I was asking the question the other lady was speaking to someone else and said yeah!!! But loudly. Oh boy I dunno if «red» was pissed or joking but she said ARE U ANSWERING HER QUESTION? COS I CANT HEAR HER (meaning me) IF UR ANSWERING FOR ME!!! The lady asked «red» who are u talking to? «Red» said YOU!!! Omg I thought there was going to be a flat out brawl hahaha. Anyhow back to MY story. So I said OK OK I’m just asking a question. In my mind I was giving her a look. Hahaha I said well that’s too bad u guys only take cash I have a friend who works there maybe I can borrow cash from her! She says who’s ur friend? I told her the name and she flips out!!! She’s all no she doesn’t !!!I’m like she’s working right now!!!(Jesus really?! Good god!!) I said she works in the library like 50 ft away!!! She’s all she doesnt work here in the bookstore!!! I looked at her and shook my head in disgust and sighed and said would you just meet these books right here for a second? I have to get money she was all HOW LONG ??? We close at 4… well quarter to 4… I said I get it I get… I come back not 2 seconds later and she wanted to double the price I was like excuse me??? She had the gull to repeat the price. I said uh nooo it half that! She was all u want a bag !!! I didn’t need one but she was being a total b* so I said u know what yeah I do!!! Omg it took her forever and a half to put it in the bag. Even her friend had to help her. I thanked her and said have a pleasant day!!! Good lord… she should not be allowed to volunteer there for sure!!!
