Need a book fast? I did today.. So I went to the Borders Books site, and looked it up (ok that is not really the book I looked up, this is just an example..)
It’ll show you a list of the book titles, and then you click on one..
Then it will show you if it is in your local store (you do have to choose what stores you want to check on.. they will pop that up in the beginning..)
If it is in stock, you can reserve it for pick up at the store (which is what I did today!)
You can even pre-order books, and they will email you when it hits the store..your book will never even hit the shelf!
Hint Hint ( I can’t believe they haven’t updated this title!)
They sent me an email when it was ready and I just zoomed in, went to the check out counter and they had it ready for me! Couldn’t be easier! (unfortunately I had forgotten to print out the 20% off coupon that was also on the site! Oh well!)
I know I know you could just order them online and have them shipped to you.. but then you have to pay shipping.. and I was going out anyway it was just a matter of choosing the store that had both books I needed available!
My husband’s grandmother would have been impressed.. this is after all something I learned from her. Work the phones and find the thing you want before you leave the house! I am just applying it to the current available technology!
Not shabby!!
In case you didn’t see the little notes embedded in my photos yesterday.. my very special super power seems to be that I accidentally creatively stick things together with superglue.. usually it involves my own fingers.. but this time.. I unwittingly stuck my husband’s calculator to a mug I was fixing..
So what is your whacky superpower??
