People rediscovered my post from 2016 that went viral.
I used to work in the music department at the largest Barnes & Noble west of the Mississippi (not surprisingly, it was in Seattle).

So, we made the task into a challenge: Have the customer guess the display’s theme. But, our themes were always really weird or dark. I’ll explain with an example of one of my best.
On a huge wall display, I put a book on skiing for beginners next to a Sonny Bono album, a book on great swimming holes next to a Jeff Buckley album, a book on guns next to a Nirvana album, etc.
Only a couple of customers guessed correctly.
