text: I am a comics purist I want to be able to walk into a store and find my comic in pristine condition on the shelf I want someone to roam the aisles or stack shelves and if I have questions I want them to enthusiastic and help me If I spend a lot of money at the counter i want to be treated like a regular or someone worthy of respectnnInstead this is my typical experience I walk in and I see all of stores employees standing behind the counter and laughing and talking obnoxiously loud with one another I do not see anyone looking at comics The most activity in the store is at the card table I usually do not find my comic on the shelf because they failed to order enough comics as usual I walk up to the counter and wait minutes until the employees finish their conversation with each other I ask them about the comic and this is their response Uhwhich comic is that Yeah sorry I have no idea when they came out I do not read Marvel or DC sorry Yeah I do not know if we will get that in You might want to try one of our other stores dude Oh hey we have this sale on Crapola After responding no I am not interested You sure dude it is a great book and that is a really great pricennThis is usually what I endure when I walk into Atomic Comics I went to All About Books and Comics and the employees actually knew which comics arrived this week on the top of their head They knew which ones sold out and that was rare because the issue I wanted was usually on the shelf in multitudes They were in great condition They were pretty normal everyday people who read comics as a hobby as opposed to being these weird emos who were more into manga
