Qbd The Bookshop - Chatswood

Great bookstore, staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and prices are some of the lowest around

QBD didn't have the panda books

I just want to share my bad experience from the QBD Chatswood book store.

I went to the QBD Chatswood book store with my 3yo book lover today. He chose 4 books and sat down on the floor and asked me to read the books. We started reading the FIRST book when a staff member approached us and told us "If you want to read books there is a library near here. Go to the library to read books" I immediately thought WHAT!! Is this real that a book store staff told me to leave a book shop!! She has kicked me out because I was reading the book with my 3yo son. Another staff member was convinced that she didn't do anything wrong when I was about to complain. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT these two staffs had no idea why I was so upset!

I don't buy books EVERY SINGLE TIME I visit but I have bought many books from the store! I couldn't believe what had just happened in the book store! Even if I didn't buy a book today I could buy books in the future and my little book lover is a potential CUSTOMER to them!! How could book store staff discourages people to read books!!!!!!

I am wondering if everyone who visits a book store should you buy the books every time? Without reading the books could you tell what to buy? Should you buy only based on the cover?

I am so angry what happened at the QBD Chatswood book store. I hope no one experiences this EVER AGAIN at the book store.
