Naturally, this is an emotional response from a man who is under fire by Amazon, also suffering from the pangs of an illiterate nation. On top of that, the mall is dead and no one has any money, after healthcare and groceries, to make discretionary purchases anymore.
Leonard Riggio, founder and Chairman of BKS said traffic at stores are ‘close to a historic low point.’
Moreover, aside from retail being inexorably ‘terrible’ and miserably wretched, Riggio doubled down on his bearshitting commentary, saying “better put, is it is one of the worst I have ever experienced in the 50 years I have been in this industry.”
Then the old fucker veered off course and tried to blame Trump for his shitty sales:
“The current trend can be traced precisely to the current election cycle, which is unprecedented in terms of the fear, anger and frustration being experienced by the public.”
Being a collector of old books, I believe BKS is an inartful experience for clowns and pseudo intellectuals who peruse soft cover books like the imbeciles they are. However, there is potential for BKS to be truly great, especially if they used their space to appeal to people like me, who’d gladly make large purchases for items worth buying.
Also, they’re vinyl record section is a fucking joke. In short, BKS is being dreadfully mismanaged.

P Record Exchange FTW. PIcked up so many things from there back in my school daze. Was told they moved locations but I think it was a lie. Due to go back soon.
Old comic books are still increasing in value based on the auctions I’ve been watching the past 4 yeas. Perhaps BKS could add important Golden and Silver age comics to the mix.
