As a freshman in high school, I had taken AP Environmental Science. This required me to buy a work book and a study guide for the class. I shopped around online, and found that Barnes and Noble had the best prices and shipping time. I put in the order at Barnes and Noble and waited for it to come in. When it HAD arrived, I opened it up and found a book on “The Best Sexual Positions”, full of nude pictures simulating sex. And I was about to take the package on my school bus, and open it then! Pretty sure I would have been suspended for the prank that some employee thought was funny. My mother of course called Barnes and Noble angrily and I did eventually get my books back free of charge and accompanied with a small gift card.
I refuse now to shop there online. If I was a FOURTEEN year old receiving something like that, I can only imagine what could have happened to other kids. Be glad, Barnes and Noble, that we didn’t call a newspaper!
