They lost mine! The over-inflated price is not shown anywhere but in the notification email. They should mark up the prices in a reasonable manner and then SHOW that price CLEARLY in the pick up at the store option on their website. BN really knows how to build ILL will! The employees there must go through this garbage many times each day! I would bet many quit. Marking up prices 50% and more is just plain BAD BUSINESS. They lost mine!

Quite honestly don't think it excuses them from absurdly high prices. I think they could lower them or at the very least actually have more sales (which B&N is bad for not doing). I only buy from B&N when there is a small price difference but even then that can add up.

That happened to my brother. You'd think that they have a manual or something next to them at all times that names all their prices. That, and they love to put people on hold. I know right?

It wasn't complicated or anything, just a burger and fries and a drink for me, and a veggie burger and fries and a drink for him. It must have taken over thirty-minutes to get our food. The people were working so slow it was ridiculous. Not at McDonald’s, but one time my dad took me to Burger King and we actually did order food.
