I went back and looked. Nothing rude, just straight forward. Plus it's always conversation about people hogging up the goods by ordering maximum amounts and then reselling.
My local bookstore listed on Tuesday that received signed copies just got to unpacking them today, Friday. Luckily I called on Tuesday and they said they would hold one when they unpacked them. I got the call this morning. They told me none of them ever made the shelf, others had called.
