It bothers me...but if the store owner doesn't mind...then..whatever. A part of the reason why I comic books is to collect them. Readers don't have to buy.

the one i used to go to, they just had a shelf for the new stuff, and you could brwose all you like... i've seen plenty of people stand around reading...
I can understand completely why it would be bad for business and would be fine with a no reading policy, but it's a nicer atmosphere if you are allowed a chance to properly browse through the comics. Plus it makes the company seem slightly more informal and friendlier, it's good publicity sometimes
The one I go to is the same way. New stuff has its own shelf and the are not wrapped. I dont read the whole thing but usually a few pages. I still buy what I read.

Yea the place I go to doesn't have new issues in wrap! It's sweet, it's like two blocks away from my college and I just go there to read on my hour break between classes sometimes. I do feel kind of guilty...but what else can I do now that Darth Viscious has stopped posting complete comics online!?

i normally dont ever read the entire comic when i check them out at the store, but sometimes when i have no money ill just skim through and get the just of what happens, unless im at barnes and nobels like soljer said and i read the hell out of em
