Booksellers!
So Iām writing an essay on how bookstores have changed in the digital age. Iāve been going primarily off my own experience of 5 years in small city indie bookshop but Iād be interested in your experience too!
A couple of things to consider,
Does your store use social media? Does whatās posted on social media affect the store sales that you know of?
How has the store changed in terms of stock? Are you carrying more non-book lines? Ie. toys for children, games, stationery, giftware etc.Ā
Please message me or respond to this post! I appreciate it all. Thank you!
Heya, anon who just got hired by a bookstore here! Just wanted to let you know I had my first day today and it rocked! (even though someone messed up a section I had just finished fixing, literally as I started walking away from it...)
Hey!
Congratulations! That's fantastic ā¤ļø and yeahhhhhh, customers will mess up displays and such all the time. Comes with the territory! But welcome to the bookseller family ā¤ļøā¤ļø
I /just/ got hired at a bookstore (lowkey worried af). Do you have any (and I do mean /any/) tips you could impart on this poor soul who has no idea what they're doing?
Ask questions! If you donāt understand something, donāt say you do and hope youāll get it along the way. If you donāt get it, then ask, that way people arenāt finding the mistakes and such later.
Thereās likely going to be a lot to learn, between the POS system and sections and ordering and such, depending on how much your store letās the employees handle that sort. Youāre not going to be able to learn everything in one day. Itās gonna take a couple months until youāre confident in what youāre doing. But youāll get there!
Donāt overthink it too much, a bookstore is a wonderful place to be. Often customers are easier because they want to be there and people like the space. Makes the experience wholly better.
You got this š feel free to ask any questions! I work at a indie bookstore and manage the YA sections, but Iāve been doing It for 5 years now and I love everything about it.
Ahhh new bookstore peeps!! *whispers* Is it okay if I add some things?? Iāve worked at bookstores for ~3.5 years now. Definitely have faith in your abilities! Iām sure you know a lot about books and your love of books will definitely shine through and people will see that and respond to it!! I hope you donāt have too many bad interactions but I can promise you will absolutely have some INCREDIBLE ones that will restore your faith in all of humanity. In my experience, people who work at bookstores are pretty fantastic and you may find yourself making fast friends with a lot of your coworkers because a love of books can really bring people together.
Best tip I have is to pay close attention to the things your coworkers say and recommend to customers. Youāll be able to pick up a lot of recommendations to have under your belt to give out to customers even if you havenāt read the books yourself.
@silverbookshelf is very correct! Booksellers are a special kind of wonderful ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

The thing with having ADHD
The problem I've come to realize that when talking about ADHD or an aspect of it, people are often to say "everyone does that" and while that may be true, as people have varying degrees of levels of focus, when combined with a number of other factors, like feeling like your mind is on a treadmill and 100 things are happening and forgetting what you were saying while you were saying it (these are only a few examples), they often produce what is called as ADHD. But because of that idea that everyone does that, it trivializes the struggles of those with ADHD.
As with anxiety, like being told "just get over it, it's not a big deal" and while they may realize that logically, they are often fighting their own brain in what it considers a big deal. And so when ADHD people have problems focussing, it is not simply the only thing that makes you ADHD and that is the struggle with being ADHD. While it is your struggle with life, it is also your struggle against others who see what you're dealing with as not a big deal simply because they don't.(this is simply a collection of my thoughts, take what you will)
