4. That's the nuclear option, and it might not get you anywhere

On the rare occasions when an irate customer has called the "president" of my company, that customer has generally been seen as slightly ridiculous.

Your complaint may be inherently different, but in my case it's usually been along the lines of "The brochure you sent had a crease on teh back cover/I demand to speak with the president."

Just be sure that your particular complaint is best delivered to the B&N powers-that-be, rather than to a regional manager or the like. Otherwise you might not get anything for your trouble other than a letter stating "thank you for your call."

11. Best way is to go to the website of a company - here's B&N's entire management team

http://www.barnesandnobleinc.com/our_company/management_team/management_team.html

And you can always find the corporate headquarters in a company's annual report (public companies, anyway):
