I just bought the eponymous (Hooray SAT word! Mom would be proud.) album from Vampire Weekend. It's a quick, poppy 11 tracks that's a really fun listen.
When I bought it at Rasputin I was not treated as I am normally there, which is to say ignored entirely until they take my money. Instead, the girl (she's probably my age but the lack of maturity classifies her as a "girl") decided that she first needed express her inability to comprehend the popularity of the album, stating that she didn't "get it." If you want, you could make a suggestion. It could be an additional purchase, you know? Or just find some way to be helpful. Unless your job despcription includes "be a condescending tool" you're in potentially dangerous territory, little missy.
I know, my consumer-y posts are usually more "here's how you can improve" and less "you suck" but this goes beyond poor service to effectively insulting me by way of my taste in music. At the very least it deserves semi-public ridicule. If I were her boss and was within earshot it would have resulted in her being in need of a new job. Some things can be improved. Sometimes the way to improve, however, is to let someone go.
Back to happier thoughts, Vampire Weekend (the band and the album) are great and I can't wait for more.
