    They don't pay you as much as they should in my opinion

    Who knew that Half Price Books had an online app to order! I mean, I probably should’ve! Everyone else does- but this has become my favorite way to shop lately. Fast and easy!

    I used to love half Price books I would visit the stores in Cincinnati to bowling Green and Lexington and Louisville in between. I like the coziness and ambiance so much more than the large box bookstores. however, after my experience last week at the Nicholasville Road location, it's off the list of places to go. Let me be clear, I love books. I could probably install shelves in my home and call it a pop-up bookstore. When I go in to Half Price Books I purchase a lot. One of my guilty pleasures is the clearance section. Specifically The cookbook section. For reasons that the staff and other customers also can't understand, the current manager decided to do away with the cookbook section and interspersed those books amongst all the other topics. Because I'm there so much, people who work there remember my face and I feel comfortable because I also remember them. I shared with them that this really was off-putting and even pointed out that I left with only one book. They shared with me that many others had stated they didn't like the change and complain about it and even the staff said they didn't agree with it. When that's the feedback customers and staff are sharing you would think a manager would listen. Not here, not in this location. He's sticking to whatever his logic is and ignoring the consumers. Moving forward I will be ignoring this store.
