Two things that my peers mentioned/questioned about was the different types of day and the kinds of people who are at Barnes and Noble at these different times. People during the day seem to be people who are taking a break from work or stay at home moms with their kids. People at night are people who are studying...they are in their "comfy" clothes with a cup of coffee and a stack of books. Regardless, it is quiet both times of the day as one of my peers commented on.
One person asked about the types of people and their personalities that go there. He said that there are not too many interactions among people in the bookstore, which is true (unless an employee is helping a customer) and asked what this suggests about the personalities of people who go here. I have never thought of this, as I go to Barnes & Noble pretty often for different reasons and don't give a second thought as to why people might like this quiet, somewhat "anti-social" environment. I will have to think about this since I am a part of the target audience and not simply a fly on the wall with no background whatsoever about this place.
I agree with the comments of my peers and nothing surprised me or caught me off guard. The questions were constructive and will be helpful when I go back to observe next time and when I write my first draft.
