UNC Student Stores — Attraction in Chapel Hill

Not the GOAT.

Hear me out.

I've been to a lot of these college bookstores. My kids attended half a dozen colleges. I try to support the school spirit by buying some clothing with the school name and mascot on it. My youngest, special needs kid looks really cute in that stuff and we try to keep her stocked up. We have tons of t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, Tervis tumblers and more at the house.

I was there with a giftcard and the person at the desk didn’t know how charge the giftcard. He called someone else over and he also didn’t. I suggested it just be scanned. That worked, but he then didn’t know how to charge me what was left. So I was told to come back later and the item I was buying was handed back to me to put away myself. Even worse, not only did I not get the item, but since he charged my giftcard, I lost all of that money that was on that...
