Anyone that ever worked in retail or customer service (heh, didn’t everyone at least once in their lives?) shares a common bond. The knowledge that those jobs would be great if it weren’t for the damn customers. Which is why I’ve enjoyed Not Always Right, which is a site a friend of mine sent me a few weeks ago. The stories are amusing in a nostalgic sort of way. Even if you never worked a pizzeria, or tech support, you can relate.
But anyone that’s ever puzzled at the fascination of youth with Che Guevara, can definitely relate to this:
(I overheard this in a comic book store in a trendy area of town.)
Teenager: *points to t-shirt of Che Guevara* “Hey look, it’s the lead singer of Rage Against The Machine!”
Teenager’s friend: “I am totally buying one!”
If you’ve ever actually spoken to some kid wearing a Che shirt, it’s not that hard to believe this tale of retail is probably true. And it reminds me a little of a parody motivation poster:
