I had a very bad experice with your company today.
To start off I placed an order yesterday and was charged 31.67 at 105 pm on 2/1/19 for 3 books.
all of which where in the buy 2 get 1 free section , but i was charged for all three , but im okay with that. Today i go to check my order status and see that my billing info is wrong. So i correct the billing information only. To my surprise i was charged another 31.67. So I call the customer service number within 5 min of the second charge. The rep i was speaking with kept informing me that i was only charged 1 PRE AUTHORIZATION not 2 like my bank app was showing me. So i ask for a supervisor and when she gets on the phone she says she sees both pre authorizations i ask her to cancel or reverse the one from today that was just debited from my account. To which she says the only way to do this was ro cancel the entire order .So I said yes cancel the order because i do not want to do business with a company who charges twice for one order. She said she could see that on pre authorization was reversed and i ask about the second one and she said NO ITS NOT SHOWING REVERSED YET YOU WILL JUST NEED TO WAIT THE 7-10 DAYS TO SEE IF IT DROPS OFF YOUR ACCOUNT. So I called my banking institution and only one charged has been reversed from your company. I would like my second charge reversed ASAP .I work for a call center that processes payments and i know that this can be done. Here is a screen shot of my order number and the books i ordered along with the double charge from my bank

I just spent about 20 minutes at your Midland, Texas store and was helped by a few employees to find some gifts. I approached the checkout and typically the checker will ask for next in line and greet the customer...not the case today (around 1:30 pm). I approached the attendant and she looked at me as I laid my items on the counter. Since she didnt say anything I asked "Could you get me one of those Wall Street Journals too?". She said "I think I heard a please in there...did I hear a please" (I just wanted to pay out and didnt want to be schooled by a stranger at the checkout). "I guess your not going to say please?" she asked. I said "I just want to add a paper."...then she responded "You know a lot of older people talk about the younger generation and I just think they come by it quite honestly."...I already had my card out, ready to pay & said "I think I'll just pass on this purchase" - only around $40 worth and started to walk away. I started to walk out the door and then turned and asked for the manager. The manager was very professional and said she would talk w/ the cashier this evening & I trust she will. I have traded at B&N since they opened in Midland & I've never been challenged by any cashier ever, in Midland. B&N has always been very pleasant to shop in...but I don't need this. As I walked towards the exit the cashier proudly smiled big, almost as if to say...she was proud to turn my business. The manager's name was Donna I believe. Thanks

This was the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. I had to phonetically spell my email address 4 times after pronouncing it. That was just so the representative could identify my order. After multiple attempts in different ways to ask the same question : "when will this book be available to the public." I kept getting :"your order will now ship when the first item is available."....I had to end the call. When I called back a second time, the rep I spoke with told me there would be a charge to ship the first items when they are available; which is the opposite of what I was told by the first rep. The second rep ended up waiving the fee after placing me on hold. Great. I expected more from this company, outsourcing aside. This makes me not want to shop online at this store anymore. It's a shame because I have been a loyal customer for many years.
