librarian salary runs 47 to 62k.what is YOUR point? that you were cheeky to your boss and got canned? surprise! and you still resent it? and further you resent contrasting experiences? bass is a gruff old coot and the store staff is famous for its funny curt nyc service delivery. strand has been a stop gap for thousands.

...and your point is...? I don't mean to be a smart ass but are u tryna tell me that despite my bad experience with Mr. Fred Bass he treated you right?

i worked there 9 months in early eighties. fred bass had good psychology. i got 4 raises of a quarter an hour each time! all new staff swept out the store early each a.m. for a period that depended on ones punctuality. each new employee was given a mini literature quiz to qualify match 10 authors and titles. good if poor times.

Fred Bass fired me after working for him for a month and a half at Strands bookstore. He and his daughter Nancy were very disrespectful and rude to the employees. Everyone was afraid of him and I wasn't so i respectfully but firmly told him that he u may own strands but u don't own me! The next day he fired me. Six months later I got hired at NYPL to be a librarian and now I make 70,000 a year. Life is Good and when I see Fred, I laugh in his face lol.

What is important about Mr. Bass is his respect for the homeless. If a Wall Street swindler comes in & buys thousands of dollars of books, no one is going to question where he got the money.// As to the comment above about Americans treating the homeless like shit, this is certainly true which makes Mr. Bass's statements of respect all the more wonderful. If you type == SPD officer shit bags == into google you will find a story about a Spokane Police officer calling the homeless shit bags. |
