RPG books behind the counter?!

[Rechan]

I went into Barnes and Nobles today and the RPG books were on a shelf behind hte counter. If I wanted to look at them, I had to ask for each one.

What the hell.

Have they seen you before?

Possibility #1: They've noticed these books disappear more regularly than other stock.

Possibility #2: They've had complaints about age appropriateness vs art or content

Possibility #3: Particularly anal store manager wants no controversy

EDIT: In reference to #3

Mot at any of the B&N's around here. They all have their own section near sci-fi and graphic novels. You should ask why they are there.

Many years ago the Waldenbooks in the mall moved the RPG stuff right next to the counter so they could keep an eye on it because the books were being pilfered.

I'd guess it's a shoplifting issue, but it still sucks.

Yep, that was my first thought as well.
