Barnes and Noble could stand to treat its employees better.
I'm sitting in one right now, and they've made most of the poor mooks working there wear costumes for the Harry Potter release at midnight. (Which I won't be attending, BTW. I'll get the book in a few days, when the crowds die down.)

Forcing your employees to dress up? Not cool.

1. I think that even the fans will be happier once the hype tornado dies down a bit.
Sucks to be told to wear a costume, though :(

4. Wendys had their teen employees wear large banane costumes.
In the corners and middle median too - really stupid, unless Wendys wanted to have cars try to drive over them... :crazy: Bloody stupid disruption on Wendys' part...
