"Do You Have the Pike Place Book?"

An older couple approached me today and asked, "Do you have the Pike Place book?" I said that we didn't, and listed the few Seattle-based books that we carried.

The woman, incredulous, replied, "But we saw it all over Pike Place Market!"

Sigh. Where do I start?

First of all, we're not near Pike Place Market. Why would we carry a book about it?

Secondly, if they saw it Pike Place and they wanted to buy it, why didn't they buy it there?

Thirdly, what's with the attitude?? It's not like I work at a Seattle-themed gift shop. Why would there be an expectation that we would carry this book?

Aarrgghh!!!
