2nd & Charles

"Moments ago we checked out at the local 2nd & Charles in Gainesville, FL. We were "assisted" by Hayden ID 167317 When we arrived we saw within the movies section a special buy two get two. My wife and I spent easily half an hour deciding what to get, only to go to the register and be told to pay full price. It was explained that these deals ended Wednesday and they "just hadn't taken it down yet". WHAT?! So I lost time and paid twice what I intended because no one could pull up a few pieces of paper on some shelves. I cannot begin to express my anger and frustration at this situation and I will NOT be back despite having easily spent half a grand within the past few months. Hope being lazy was worth losing our business. Sincerely, Catie & Destiny Clark"

"It is clean, things are well presented, and I have only interacted with very professional and nice people. On the other hand, buying some gas can be like a bunch of birds picking some seeds, just like in any larger gas station. In general, it is pleasant, perhaps a few extra seeds will allow smoother transitions at the pump"

"I always enjoy coming here. I like the mix of new and used books, it's a great selection. Because they buy books, the inventory is always changing so if you visit often, you won't see the just the same stuff over and over again. The staff is young and mostly helpful. Sometimes seem a bit distracted. The buying counter pays you about what you'd expect, which isn't a lot but it's better than giving to Goodwill."

"Very cool "little" store. It is a BIG store, but it feels VERY intimate. They have such an eclectic selection of all things books, magazines, Comicbooks, and even movies! Retro gaming stuff and toys, too. I spent 2 hours there just digging through comics, lol. It felt like I was only there for 10 mins. I have a feeling this book store is going to become a favorite place for me."

"I used to live in the area and shopped here regularly for books, games, etc. I remembered loving this store so I brought my friend here to check it out. I was honestly embarrassed to have recommended/suggested this store for an outing, it was so disorganized and dirty There was a lot of staff standing around up front but we didn’t see anyone working on putting up anything, which was kinda crazy because there was stuff scattered everywhere and piled on the floor. There was a tote with a trash can liner in it and some mystery liquid. Gross. I hope they hire people who care and fix this place up because it used to be a really cool store. I’ve worked retail and get that down time is 100% needed but it’s crazy that they would just leave merchandise scattered in the isles where people have to step around it."
