Barnes & Noble (short version)

(There was a long rant here; you can ask me if you're interested in the original, but here is the much shorter to the point version):

Barens & Noble's new management now hires security guards. These security guards apparently patrol the store to make sure all the invisible rules are being followed. Why have a book store with security guards? I am not aware of any security guards at Borders. Anyway, one of the invisible rules is "no sitting on the floor", apparently because it messes with their aesthetics and they don't like to look at people in their store enjoying themselves. So the question is, why does Barnes & Noble continue to shelf books 1/4" above the floor if they expect everyone to stay off of it?
