    We go to a lot of bookstores, both big name and backwoods. Overall half price is well organized. I guess I just get a bit flustered when they quote unquote alphabetize the authors yet they don't go past the first letter and you're trying to look for a specific author and it's in six different spots. I only saw this in the sci-fi section cuz that's where I was looking that day so I'm not sure if it is store wide. I mean not as bad as some half prices we have been to recently. But it sure would make it easier to find what I'm looking for without having to zigzag back and forth. The store was very clean. They cashier was very friendly. I'm of two minds about the gender fluid bathrooms not that I'm against any of that but walking in there after a guy used it đŸ˜”â€đŸ’« there are several reasons men have their own bathrooms. Needless to say I left a light/fan on when I left to save the next person's nose.

    Solid Book selection. And game selection. I went mainly for the CD’s and was just a little bothered by the organization of them. I don’t think the Rock & Pop section should be looped into one. There’s more than enough space to divide them into two separate sections. And it’s organized by artist last name? Doesn’t make sense since most Artist go by their first name or have 1 band name. I feel like most of my time was wasted because I had to look through a genre I didn’t come to look for and too much confusion on how they were organized. Also the CD clearance section could’ve been organized as well at least by alphabet (first please lol) Lowkey I would do it myself cuz it bothered me that much lol.
