“People die in bookstores more often than you think would happen when taking a job at a bookstore. It happened twice during my time there, both times like this: Someone walks into a bookstore. Wanders around, maybe gets a cup of coffee. Gathers an assortment of books. Is lucky enough to find an open chair. Sits in the chair. Dies. Is dead in the chair until someone who has been scoping out the chair notices the guy she thought was sleeping is maybe not sleeping. Goes to the information desk and says, “Hey, I don’t think that guy is sleeping.” And she waits for the ambulance and watches the body taken away and you think it is out of concern, but really she just wants the chair. And then she sits in the dead guy’s fucking chair.”
—On Death and Bookstores (via irisblasi)
I’m paranoid about this literally every time a customer is sitting still in a chair for too long. And forget about the people who stay in the bathroom for an hour… :-/

Man, I thought having a customer die in front of the bookstore was awkward.
