I just got back from Borders. Picked up From Beirut to Jerusalem. As I was standing in line--there's always a line--I was of course looking at all the little goodies that they purposely display around the queue. All along the counter were bins of individually wrapped Lindt truffles. There must have been a dozen different colors of wrapper with nothing printed on them except "Lindt." So when I got to the cashier, I asked about the colors. She immediately started listing the various flavors that were around her register. She made the point to tell me that all associates were regularly quizzed to be sure they knew the flavors. I asked why they didn't just put a label on the bin. She responded by telling me the amount due for my purchase. I guess I should be glad. I probably would have bought a bunch if I had know what was in them as I stood in line. Just wanted you to be aware of the rigors of selling books for the competition...
