You think bookstores are populated primarily by intelligent employees, while other businesses are filled with morons?
I think he specified small, specialized bookstores. A place with an owner and maybe two to three employees. A small group working on something they are knowledgeable about, are invested in and have a passion for. Whereas you might encounter more disinterested, ignorant employees at a chain filling spots on the floor. Online shopping doesn't actually eliminate the morons (the guy picking your book off the shelf at the Amazon distribution center doesn't have a particular concern over the accuracy of your filled order, he has a 130 item an hour quota to speed through)... but at least you don't have to talk to the guy.
Borders (chain bookstore) files for bankruptcy, will close some stores, and restructure

Most brick-and-mortar stores don't excel in personal customer service.

You are the exception though, at least in terms of the book selection.

5 of the 6 Borders stores near me are closing, and, I have to say, I'm not a bit upset.

B&N tends to have the better selection for my tastes, but I prefer Border's atmosphere. *NM*
