So, this week so far has been a little busy.. Monday night was the Liggetti show at Eyedrum, and that meant me staying until 12, thank you mdaniel and teka for coming by. Then Tuesday after work was The Shins show, i missed the opening band The Brunnettes, but I loved The Shins. I saw them about 3 or so years ago at the EARL and they were at best mediocre but the songs stood out. This time they were together and on top of things. I love that pop music they play. I always think of the Beach Boys when I hear them, though they do not harmonize or write songs about surfing, rather, the catchy, sad and short pop melodies that Brian Wilson perfected.
Tonight, I am going to work out – I am going to try out the Georgia Tech gym and have a work out buddy – excitement, though I woke up with allergies through the roof. I took all my medicine last night, and I have been really good about taking it regularly, so hmmmmm.
But, as I have to rant a little:
How to Treat A Store Clerk
- We are not your property – my name is not honey, baby, sugar, darling, sister….
- Hand your money to me, do not toss it on the counter.
- When I say “hello, is this all?” reply other wise I will ignore you.
- Banging on the counter, clicking your fingers or yelling will not get you service, a simple ‘excuse me’ is sufficient.
- When I am out the store and you see me asking me about if I can order you something is baaaaaad. (unless we are friends)
- Greeting me in a public place outside the store as “the girl from the record store” and “do you remeber me?” is also bad, yes i do, do I want to? no you were most likely rude, obnoxious and bought shitty music.
- Greeting me at a show by”wow, you like this band? I never would have guessed” is also baaad. I work at a record store, I like lots of things, I am not tied to one genre, idea or band.
- Do not bang on the door when the sign says closed! We are closed I do not care if you drove from Gwinnet we are still closed and will remain so.
- If, by some incredible amount of stupidity you spill you drink/food, tell me! Take the paper towels I hand you and clean it up! I am not here to wipe up, clean up after you.
- On that note, do not and me your trash – there is a trash can, put you trash in it.
- I do not hold or entertain childern/babies.
