Barnes & Noble Set to Unveil Stores Offering Wine And Beer

A satirical look at current events!

Barnes & Noble Set to Unveil Stores Offering Wine And Beer: Barnes & Noble announced that they will soon be offering beer and wine at select stores throughout the US in an effort to boost sales by keeping customers in their stores longer.

Smart thinking! One thing’s for sure, as customers begin passing out, they’ll definitely be in the store longer. Throughout the store, you’ll hear conversations like "I don't always read, but when I do, I like to get really toasted” or “I’ll be with you shortly honey, I’m gonna try and read another chapter before last call.”

On a personal note, I find it comforting to think that someone’s finally taken the time to come up with a really quiet place for people to get drunk. And, for those battling alcohol issues, the self-help section is just steps away. Seems like a win-win for everyone. My question is, what will they call the place…Bars and Noble? And, should this concept happen to not bring in all the revenue for which they had hoped, they could always add some slot machines and strippers.
