Not Acceptable
I should be working at La Onda, not this frat turd who's at the counter now. Damn, I should have applied. I didn't, only because last week, when the 'Help Wanted' sign was up I happened to be in the pits of depression and the same stinking clothes for seven days straight, which made me self-conscious and incapable of action. Maria must have been desperate to hire this blondie. I mean, I hope that was it. Because when she's here the music is fantastic: Buena Vista Social Club, the Clash, Cat Power, Mazzy Star, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bob Dylan (but not too much), Pavement, good things, you get the point. And what is playing now? The radio. John Couger Melloncamp, Kenny Rollins, Neil Diamond, and disco shit. And every ten minutes: commercials. For acne cream.
Not acceptable. Plus, I'm in a moral dilemma now. I feel I have an obligation to tell Maria about this shitty-ass music, as it's, like, hipster-repellant, and hipsters are, after all, her main customer base. On the other hand, so not my place to say anything. We're chummy, Maria and I. But it's not my store. I don't even work here. I just buy a lot of coffee and about 40% of my meals, pocketbook permitting.
Oh dear god. "Mr. Bojangles" is playing. Fuck the carrot cake. I am outta here.
