I used to work in a record store. Actually, I managed a Sam Goody store in a past life, then I helped out in my friend’s indie shop called Dog Ear Movies & Music for a few weeks during the holidays one year. Those were some of the best times I ever experienced while working a ”real job,” but like anything – there were downsides. Usually, it was ignorant customers to blame for the daily headaches, mainly the ones that perceive all record store employees to be elitist hipsters. If a customer left feeling that way, it was probably because they asked the wrong questions.
You know that saying “Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer?” Well, one record store employee has fired back with a video called “Sh*t People Say At Record Stores.” I’m pretty sure that I’ve heard all of these in person…
