@Murkrow :-(

@Murkrow Ack :| I had a client once who told me at length how everyone 'young' (which was literally anyone under 53) was an idiot and unable to do work and society was doomed. Always good times.

@likecroft I get a lot who rant at great length about how [big business that does what our independant business also does] that start "oh I like you guys so much better than [bbtdwoibad]" and devolve into "everyone who works for [bbtdwoibad] is basically sucking Lucifer's toes while punching babies in the face" and like... I'm flattered but also please stop shitting on Bux/Costa/Argos/Waterstones employees quite so furiously, they're also people...

@Murkrow Ah, yeah :| I can imagine. People get *very passionate* about indie vs. non-indie bookstores. But when people get to the point where they're just denouncing other people as evil/awful for absurd things like that, I'm like--I think you're just the kind of person who wants to hate others irrationally, please go away :(

@linhares nope, gotta caaasually grab the walkie talkie and caaasually shout "CAN I HAVE SECURITY TO [LOCATION] PLEASE" into the faulty microphone that doesn't pick up sound very well. Which means it's always easier to just smile and nod.
