exact same issues for me, and i thought it was because i wasn’t famous or “known” yet. something wicked this way came. turnabout is fair play, i suppose.still, i liked the local staff and still stop in at my local Barnes & Noble from time to time. almost decided to sneak one of my book copies onto their sci-fi shelf section, or sit at one of the front tables and slurp down a cheap coffee, then accidentally on purpose leave my book on the table, but i thought, i will play by the rules, even if it means remaining on the “salad days” pedestrian diet.
