Well, the good thing is that the Forums are on fire again!

But, really, I'm thinking about the POLICY of Innisfree's. I've been there - the sign is prominent. The clerk also mentioned this to me upon my purchase. I was surprised when she mentioned it, but I guess it's been a real problem for them. People do a quick read, then bring books back! How can small businesses survive that over an extended period of time?

It's funny that we're talking about laws as it relates to contracts and minors -I think that's a bit much. It was a hard-learned lesson. And I think that a store credit IS valuable. They have TONS of stuff in that store - games, puzzles, toys, stationery and oh yeah - books!

My guess is that her daughter won't make this mistake again! And as for posting the thread in the first place - a bookstore hasn't gotten as much discussion in a long time!
