    Like the other review says, I love that there are computers to search for books myself.  I hate asking people to find a book for me.  

    Parking in this strip mall is a bit weird, but plenty of it.  I don't drive, so I don't care that much.  Minus a star for the rude cashier when I bought books here last time.  My books didn't ring up as buy-one-get-one-half-off, so I pointed it out.  Apparently since they weren't marked, he couldn't do it.  I specifically picked the books without the stickers advertising the sale, because I prefer a nicer condition book.  But after walking back and grabbing the marked books, I was given the price.  I could tell I had somehow annoyed the guy though, because he didn't give me the bagged sample of whatever coffee he had been giving everyone else in line.  Hah.

    I love this Borders. I've been coming to this one for quite awhile. All the people that work there are very friendly and super helpful. I love the Cafe as well, and every time I order something there, the cashiers are extremely nice. Lots of places to sit as well.

    Why did they destroy there DVD section?  Used to be fun to pick up a few DVDs and books, and be entertained for a few weeks.  But for the last several months, their DVD section has been shrinking.  This place used to be awesome.  Let's go Borders, get back in the game, i'll give you some more stars if you do.  Thanks.

    I only shop here when I have a 20 or 30% off coupon.  This Borders is large and has a good selection of books.  I always seem to find what I'm looking for.  Unfortunately, their prices don't compete with Amazon unless you have the 20 or 30% coupon.  The Seattle's Best Coffee Shop inside the store has some excellent coffee and sweet treats however it is a little pricey.  One other downfall for this Borders is that it has two sets of employees:  Real nice ones and real cranky ones.  The real cranky ones can make it rather an unpleasant shopping experience.
