"sooo how is that Barnes and nobles fault, it's your bank's policy"

Sorry, I don't know how to do the whole quote thing.

I was just saying because of that I don't buy from Barnes & Noble. I understand it's my banks policy, but it seems to me that a lot of people buy more than one book at a time and setting it up so you could only buy books individually makes little sense. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has run into this problem where there bank thinks there card has been stolen. Sure I could just spread my purchases out over a ten day period, buying a book a day, or I could go to another store which allows me to put all the books I wish to purchase in a cart and buy them at once. By setting up the store the way they have, they have made it unnecessarily difficult to purchase books. It seems before I purchase anything from them I either have to notify my bank or buy a gift card as some people have suggested. Why jump through all these hoops when I can just use another store.
