Relatable for anyone in customer service let alone a bookseller

Just as wonderful as the first, equally as hilarious and concerning. It makes me want to visit a bookshop.

It was so offensive, assuming her customers as dumbo shallow people, using them to make a second volume of her series so she can sell her works!
Anyone who's ever worked in customer service in any capacity knows these people, the fun ones, the strange ones, the ones that make you want to beat your head against the wall. Some of these anecdotes are hilarious, and some fall flat, but all in all the book is a fun diversion and, in some cases, a bit of a trip down memory lane.
I couldn't stop laughing with this one, being a bookseller must be fun.

A short and sweet review for a short and sweet read. Both Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops, and More Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops, are by BookTuber Jen Campbell (though for those of you who are interested, she was a published author BEFORE she became a BookTuber, in case that matters to some). These are quick, light and humorous reads that will likely resonate with booksellers more so than bookish people, but are enjoyable nonetheless. I personally couldn't justify £8.99 RRP per book (hardback), but I picked both of these up for £3.99 (paperback) from The Book People.
