I wonder how many lost sales Bookman's can chalk up to stupid application of stickers.
I was there today and there were several CD's I looked at that had price tags or security stickers plastered right over track listings or album descriptions.
Now, I don't have a smartphone, but if I did have one, odds are pretty good that using it to search for album info would point me straight at sites selling the same album for cheaper -- and likely in digital format, removing even the "instant gratification" advantage to buying it in a store.
Guess I could have asked a clerk, but unless the clerk actually knows the album, that still means opening up the case and removing the sticker.
And anyway, I firmly believe that if somebody makes it harder for me to give them my money, I shouldn't reinforce them by giving it to them anyway.
