Barnes and Noble 

1: Satan's asshole, usually only to employees.
2: A place for insane individuals with foot fetishes and drooling problems to congregate.
3: A store that quickly turns genuinely nice employees into miserable bastards due to horrible pay, horrible management, and that god awful "do you have a membership?" question.
4: Evidently a library since, more often than not, customers don't actually BUY books.
"Excuse me, how do I borrow books?"
"You don't. This is Barnes and Noble. Go to the library down the block."

"Where's your manager?"
"That's a good question. I haven't seen them myself for the past 4 hours."

"I really like feet. What would I have to do to get you to show me your feet??!"

Barnes and Noble Restroom 

A restroom where you walk in and there’s this guy in there on the phone talking about eating a Starbucks sandwich while on the toilet, so you cough to let him know your in there and he hangs up but then immediately answers another phone call (which kind of defeats the purpose but whatever) and says “hey is Richie still in jail? Can they trace it back to me” and the girl on the phone says “how the fuck should I know Jared?” And he says “I remember our history together how do I know I can trust you” and she says “I’m a lot of things Jared but a liar isn’t one of them” and he says “I CANT GO BACK TO JAIL” and then you just give up and slowly back out of the restroom
“Hey Ben I heard a lot of commotion go on in the Barnes and Noble Restroom are you ok?” “Yeah I’m fine I found a Starbucks sandwich in there so I’m no longer hungry”

Barnes and Noble 

A soul-sucking corporate bookstore. Employees are nice, to an extent, but the higher you go in the company, the less smiles.
Employees must:
1. Always bug you to buy a Member Discount Card.
2. Walk you to every book.

They have a large selection of books, but only on certain subjects. Their website has a far better range of books. Their largest competetor is Borders. CD's and DVD's are overpriced.
Excuse me, can you help me find a book. It was on that table and it had a blue cover.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
