Respect Mah Authoritah!
By Michelle DiPoala on Dec 4, 2008 | In Diary
Do I just walk around like I own the place? Everywhere I go? I ask because it seems like no matter what restaurant, retail store or taco stand I'm granting my patronage there are people who walk up and start talking to me as if I own the place. Alright, I'm lying about the taco stands. We don't have any taco stands in Allston. But the other parts are true.
Next time it happens I should just try helping the person and see what they want. "You work here, right? Do you have any more of these in size 10?"
"Sure, let me just go check. Don't move."
Then leave, and imagine the customer trying to complain to a manager about the chubby bespectacled clerk who went to look for size 10s a half hour ago.
If only I were mean, I'd have so much more fun.![]()
