Boring cons do exist, but those are the really little ones.

They did, and I'm so excited. o.o There's going to be an escape room again this year, and a silent film panel, and whole bunch of other super fun stuff.

Our quotas are ridiculous though. You have to be able to scan a full gaylord one per hour. Which is you have scan more than 5-600 books and other items in roughly three hours. You have to sort one gaylord an hour. Then you have to put out one cart per hour. Carts can have any where from 40 to 200ish items on it. I have to put out those 200 items in an hour. Then do another cart with just as many. Also while ringing up customers, and keeping the floor and bathrooms clean.

The process is basically: Everything is in a giant box called a gaylord. Each item is scanned through a system to see if our Amazon store wants to sell it. What is rejected is tossed into another gaylord marked 'scanned'. Then someone starts to sort out everything into their price slots. That's when the old books get put to the side. Then everything is put in a cubby marked with the books' prices. After that they go on our carts. Each cart is one price tag (ideally anyway, sometimes splice carts happen).
Once they reach the cart. We check in the insides for autographs, markings that make the book unreadable, pulling out whatever is put in the pages. Like bookmarks, personal papers, ect. Then they get cleaned with some alcohol spray. Then they get priced and put on the shelves. All of this happens everyday.

Oh. If a book looks crazy levels of old, it gets put to the side to be checked. Only managers can do that. They go on a website and research the worth of the older looking books. Same for autographed books, and other media. Like the Benny Hill was researched because of how many discs it has. Turns out that bitch is worth 500+. We basically half the worth. Though we came down more than half on the Benny Hill. Because really most people don't even know what that show was/is.

Probably.
At least they leave the very valuable books alone, since you can only get those if I hand them to you. We've currently got books worth 400ish, which is half of what it's really worth.
XD We also have a Benny Hill boxset for 100$.

Well yeah I wanted them. Most people don't know that the Addams Family started as one page comics in The New Yorker. It would be like holding history in my hands.

Those I don't mind admitting defeat to. It's the ladies that bought old and rare Addams Family comics just to cut them up that I get very sad about.

Lol well yeah, the point is to sell those things. Still sad when someone grabs them. And yeah that does save my poor wallet.
