....by just looking around you!
I'm going to let you guys in on the 'big secret' of Barnes and Noble and Borders - you can check out in the cafe area too! I promise!
I was in Borders last night and the cashwrap line went down and around and around some more - all of it culminating in a line headed towards the back of the store. But do you know what didn't have a line?
The cafe.
I took one look over there and practically skipped to the counter with my books and coupon - no line for me! And yet my joy was not full, it was not complete. The damn season had filled me with a sense of compassion for my fellow man, stuck in the line of death.
So as I walked out of the store I tapped the shoulder of the last woman in line and whispered the secret I'm now sharing with you:
"You can pay for those in the cafe too."
"Really?"
"Yes."
