I care about books. No one starts working in bookstores who doesn't. The pay, as is the case for most retail operations, is abysmal. The hours are better than editorial hours, and there are wonderful elements of store work -- finding the right books for the right readers, whatever those books may be -- that make it seem like a worthwhile job.
You've hit on one of the major reasons I like working in a library. (It's certainly not the pay.) :-)
