You do seem a bit pessimistic and I'm not sure that your negativity is entirely warranted in the case of Indigo. The products they stock are certainly not high-end, but nor are they dollar store crap. Most of the items are decent and some are quite nice. I've seen very nice blankets, good quality stationery and related items, board games, and the sort of mid-quality art/nerdy things that you tend to see in the gift shops of museums and art galleries. None of it is stuff you "need" which may be causing your reaction, but if you were to buy it, you wouldn't throw (most of) it out a week later.

Yeah sort of agree here. I don't head over there often, but I use a tea mug from that place every day in the office. I used to like visiting those stores when they were "Chapters" whenever we'd visit the city (read extent-suburbs) as a kid. It was especially exciting when we didn't have internet or up-to-date computers and I'd get to browse the multitudes of computer and music magazines. Always left me jealous. I think that place had a bit better of a thing going—it was less frenetic. That said, the buying power of Indigo makes it a worthwhile place to search for a book if you can't find it locally.
