Here, here, Kevin. Geeesh, sounds exactly like what happens
everytime I ask my brother-in-law who works at a Media Play
to check on a book for me. Brand new, FASA stock number,
etc, etc, etc,.. drekcetera. "They say that books is not
available." What really kicks my rear is that after being told
they can't get it for me (I live out of that town) I go back for a
weekend or something and go by the store and the damn
book I wanted is on the rack, where, if I hadn't already ordered
it online, I could have gotten it at 40% off. Some people just
slay me.
