21. I can't find it now but I am pretty sure that B & N donates a great majority of their money to Dems.
As far as merchandising goes, you have to remember that B & N is a BUSINESS and their main purpose is to make money. Whether we like it or not, they need to do whatever they can to maximize sales regardless of the political affiliation of their employees. They, like Border's, where I used to work, are both fighting to stay afloat in the ever-changing retail environment. If that makes you not want to shop there, that is your decision to make. However, I must caution you about damaging their property as one poster suggested. From my understanding of the law, that could be considered stealing or "depriving a shop owner of receiving the true value of their product" or something like that. Besides that, it's just not right.
