25 Thoughts You Have Shopping At McKay's

On the outside, McKay's seems like the average used bookstore. On the inside, it is a wonderland of books, DVDs, electronics, records, instruments, and joy. To the untrained shopper, this experience can be overwhelming and unexpected. Even when the sheer volume of products is expected, it can still be overwhelming. Here are 25 thoughts everyone has while going on a McKay's adventure:

1. Okay, wow. I forgot this place was literally an airplane hanger.

2. Where do I even start?

3. What? They sell puzzles here??

4. I wonder if they have to put all the puzzles together themselves to make sure no pieces are missing?

5. Can I apply for that job?

6. Can I go in the VHS section even though I don't have a VHS player?

7. Can I go in the DVD section even though I don't own a DVD player? #college

8. Ah, the YA fiction section. I remember several angsty afternoons here.

9. Aaaannnd, this is going to be another one.

10. What? This hardback books about King Tut is only five cents?? Guess who's going to be learning all about King Tut later.

11. *Buys every book that is under a dollar just because #gooddealz

12. YO THEY SELL TEXTBOOKS HERE

13. So what of they're all v old editions. How much can business change?

14. Time to venture upstairs!

15. *buys all the records even though I don't have a record player just for the aesthetic of buying records*

16. Let me just look at all the posters and buy five of them even though I have no wall room because they're only five dollars!!

17. *does not realize that five posters times five dollars is 25 dollars*

18. Wow, I got so many good deals today.

19. I will totally have time to read all of these books that I purchased.

20. Wait, my total is what?

21. *still does not understand that a lot of cheap things add up to being expensive*

22. Wait, I bought how many books??

23. Well, I know what I'm doing for the next year...

Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
