He does a good job running the shop but his customer service skills need a bit
of improvement. Personally I wouldn't want that job. What happened to the
previous manager? I've forgotten his name but he was much better than Albert.

1. He does not need to shout at me repeatedly because I can understand what he
says the first time and it sinks in fine.2. I am not an average Victorian
gunzel!
3. I don't carry any contagious diseases :-)

There isn't that much in there worth buying any more. I get all the magazines I
want on subscription and I have all of the books that I want out of the most
recently published ones. As for video, I am taking enough of my own. For
someone like me I really don't see the point of spending about $40 for a video,
especially when I'm not 100% happy with the quality of some of them currently
on sale.
