How much should you tip in a second-hand bookstore by the way? This has always confused me. I don't just want to pay sale price because obviously they undercut themselves, but I don't know what an appropriate % for a book salesman/saleswoman is.

No they don't, someone who owns a used bookstore not suddenly any less awful than the average business owner. The only they care about is money, take off the rise tinted glasses.

Lolita is a meme, yes. The OP has used this template to craft a stunning tale about its power on normies.
