/lit/ - Literature

/lit/, can we get a bookstore thread going?

> today in the local book shop
> pick up Frankenstein, Of mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, Grapes of Wrath
> think I only have £25 in my wallet
> take the books to the counter, greeted by sweet elderly lady from behind the counter
> price comes up to £30
> say that I'm short by £5, so she scans a coupon to give me money off instead of putting back one of the books I wanted to buy
> pass her the money, not realising I actually had £35
> feel awkward when we both realise what's happened and apologise
> she tells me it's A-OK and that it's "just one of those days, really" and we both laugh about it

/lit/, could you have any more of a based bookshop worker? Share your comfy, awkward or interesting bookshop experiences here, please.
