things i've learned from retail

after working at a popular electronics store, i've learned that

1.)if people want a ps2/xbox/nintendo ds NOW, and if they don't get it they throw wrestling games at cd racks
2.)old people are obsessed with Josh Groban and Daniel O'Donnel, Benny Goodman has been replaced by an obviously gay kid and a religious zealot...
3.)i'm horribly behind the times (e.g. who the hell is lil jon and what is crunk?)
4.)people with good music taste are few, but will always stop and chit chat with you, this makes me happy, Tom Waits couple-you guys rule
5.)impatient people are funny, they have no consideration for your own personal needs (a couple waited for me to come out of the bathroom...)
6.)people in general, are terrified of computers, gaming systems, tv's, and anything else that requires the intelligence of a monkey
7.)all the managers have yet to refer to me as Trav...it's always Hey, or Hey you, they'll take the time to do the awkward back pat but won't remember your name, damn.
8.)the security guys don't like it when you tell them they have a "trust issue"
9.)the highest shoplifted cd's-rap and latina-the lowest-wang chung
10.)that people wearing nascar clothes ask for two things-blue collar comedy tour and the Dale Earnhardt movie...no buddy, get it done you stupid fucking, inbred, sheep fucking, cousing raping, pickup driving, minority hating, sack of shit.

i hate this state, but we have mt. rushmore...

Quote of the moment

How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned.
