Heard Employees Talking at Borders Glen Beck Will Be Here Signing His Book Tomorrow(NOT HAPPY)

So, I was at BORDERS BOOKS AND MUSIC this morning and apparently tomorrow afternoon Glen Beck will be here signing his book. I heard a couple employees asking if they have to be nice to him and one person said they asked for the day off.Can you imagine having to accommodate Glen and be friendly to him because of your job? This is in Farmington, Connecticut tomorrow the 3rd at 1:00pm in case any hecklers want to go down and ask him some tough questions. I'll give anyone a $100 if they can make him cry on camera! Any takers?

1. The loss of all those advertisers must have put a real dent in his personal wealth.
 
He seems to be working seven days a week lately.

The stress is going to get to him any day now.

4. he doesn't get paid by his advertisers...he's paid by faux- and they simply run other commercials during his show.

it hasn't affected him at all

6. His radio hatefest isn't on Faux.
 
His radio advertisers bailed out on him en masse.

2. The locals won't even see him

When a big name signs at a bookstore like Borders, the company usually sends brass to hobnob, and of course Beck is going to have an entourage. Luckily, very few people who actually work at the store are likely to deal with the guy at all.

9. They won't

for every one who doesn't want to be there, there is one who would love to be there. We would always just swap days. No big deal.
