reshelving = it's in the process on being put back into the shelves

GEEZ, I hope more than 1 person understood what it meant.

If you looked at your dishwasher and it said "Status: Washing" would you wonder if they were ready or not?

Great, where IS the book then?
That is the question she was alluding to.

on the cart, probably.

 

[FoBoT]

who is to say that any given book has previously been shelved?

perhaps, there should be both "reshelving" and "shelving" statuses

 

[Syringer]

MBony = PWNZED

 

[gopunk]

not very intelligent if you can't figure out what reshelving means... re - shelving. derrrrrr

 

[cerebusPu]

was she a native english speake?

 

[Ness]

Maybe that was just her way of implying that she wants you to find which cart the book is on. Seriously.

 

[BatmanNate]

Is it.......Iced Tea?

 

[johnjbruin]

WTF does "Yes, by using my english knowledge it means to be in the process of being shelved again" mean?????? I am SOOOOOOOO confused.
I voted for the other choice in your poll. 😕

[Nitemare]

Its back at the publisher getting properly fitted for shelves?


Actually that was techno-speak for "I want to jump your bones"

My sarcasm cannot top that question so I will quit here.

EDIT: Poll Added

Not quite as bad as the time I was in line at Barnes and Noble, and the girl in front of me asked the clerk: "Do you loan books out, like the library?"

i consider that to be a valid question. video stores loan out videos, tool stores loan out tools, why shouldn't a book store loan out books.

fixed
