Every time you say the bad word, put money in a jar...
Books with a Past, Glenwood, Md., shared a photo on Twitter of its bookstore cat posing with the shop's new Amazon Swear Jar, noting: "Atticus would like to remind you that when you buy from a small, independent business, you're keeping more dollars in your community. In addition to creating jobs and bolstering the tax base, small businesses often contribute more to community partners like schools, food banks, and animal shelters than certain online retailers ever do. #indiesfightback #shopsmall #shoplocal"
The post inspired the Neverending Bookshop, Edmonds, Wash., to put out its own "A**zon swear jar on the counter. Idea blatantly borrowed from @bookswithapast with relish. Thanks for the idea, fellow rebel booksellers! #neverendingbookshop #indiesfightback #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookdragons #heretherebebookdragons"
