Some BAG at walmart just ruined Harry Potter for me (no spoilers, I promise)
Got up first thing this morning to buy HP at Walmart. I was buying it as a lady that works there was putting some more books out. I began talking to her about how crazed some people get and she says to me, "Well (insert spoiler here), you know." and I said, "Really?" because I DIDNT KNOW because I TRIED REALLY HARD TO NOT READ THE SPOILERS!!! And she must have seen my face and said, "I mean, supposedly." I'm sooooooooo ticked. She just ruined the book for me. I feel like sueing.

OH MY GOSH!!! I am ANGRY for you!!! Why in the world would she say that? The manager would go insane if he knew she was doing that. Why would anyone buy the book if she's going to tell the ending!!!!!
You know, there's a chance she's reporting misinformation that she just heard somewhere and doesn't know for sure.

Ohhh Mandy I would SOOOOOOO tell her I wasn't buying the book now and go tell the manager!
I hope they were reporting false information and you are still surprised!!!! Well I got up early this morning and read the last chapter in Kollin's book. I didn't have time to read the whole thing (or wait for him to read it) and I wanted to know!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOL John is so mad at me but he knows I'd never have time to read the whole thing and it's not like I'm telling anyone what I know! LOL

That stinks. Apparently, one of the employees from our local Best Buy thought it would be cute to read the last few pages of the book on the loud speaker last night (before the book was even legal to sell)! I was next door at Target at the time, but I hear that some folks were furious!

Mandy---it sounds like you could pm Kelly to see if your info is accurate. If she's a really good friend, she'll lie and tell you that your info is wrong.

I would have made her sit there and tell me the complete story in detail until it was her break time.
"Oh tell, me more....why, but how, why, why why then what"...... That would teach her to do that ever again, besides if you ask my wife I can't read anyway and I would just put the book back and thank the lady for saving me the money. Tee hee

I just got the book yesterday and feel like I have to read it really FAST before some dope like that spoils it for me. What a shame!
