Circle Jerked
By Avery | September 16, 2007
I ain’t all Super Nationalist or whatever, but I guess I came up being inculcated into the “spend money in the Community whenever you can” mindset, so I do that. So as a couple of you know, I’m buying textbooks for my class, so instead of going with one of the major chain stores, I tried to buy at a smaller, Black-owned store. Actually, they have several locations, so I thought I was gonna be in good shape. But naw. I ordered the books 3 weeks ago. Still don’t have none.
Now the thing is, I can’t act like this is the rule, but I will say that I’m maaaaad disappointed that even when I came with a major order, I couldn’t get suitable service. As it turned out, the problem wasn’t with the store per se, so I imagine that I’ll give them another shot, but I’m certainly a little more gun shy. Especially when the store I’m actually buying from is also a small, independent bookseller. So I guess in a way, I’m keepin the money circulating, but not the way I had initially imagined.
