I'll give you a brief run down...
  • "Stuck in Saigon". A man who looks like Tom Cruise from Born on the Fourth of July who walks around the store for hours with sunglasses on, buys nothing, says nothing, but is harmless.
  • Armchairs philosophers including but not limited to Frumpy, Coronel Clink, and Sleepy. They sit upstairs in our big chairs and discuss politics and history.
  • Schizo Ron. Ron doesn't let us touch the books he hoards in the corner of the cafe because he's afraid we're going to steal his fingerprints. He can also be seen commonly talking to the invisible man on his shoulder.
  • Tom and Charmaigne. Nice older couple that come in every night and sit in the cafe for three hours with their massive following of older single ladies and gay younger social outcasts including Patrick who smokes three packs of cigs a day and sounds like Mac's mom from It's Always Sunny.
  • Edward Koch. He comes into the music department a couple times a week and asks us to look up the most obscure and hard to find classical composers that we can NEVER find. He never gets the hint that his taste is too refined for B&N. This usually takes at least a half hour to refine his search to his specific specifications.
  • Tim and Kyle. This is actually quite sweet. They come in on Saturdays to buy Sesame Street DVDs. Kyle is about 22 but severely mentally handicapped. His dad is awesome.
  • Boop Boop. Another mentally handicapped person with her father but one I want banned from the store. All she does and tear books off the walls and rearrange them while YELLING "boop BEEP BOOP". Her father usually leaves her to her own devices, she destroys the store, then he comes back and is surprised and yells at her and drags her out of the store. This happens about twice a month.
  • Phil. He likes to talk to everything he touches in a light soft voice like he's picking out a puppy. "Ohhh look at you. You're a pretty one. How are you? Oh, I can't take you home today. Back to where you come from."

That's a small fragment.
