Oh lord Tomas, I saw this pop up just as I was entering a used bookstore. I don’t usually shop on Black Friday but Thanksgiving was in Charlottesville this year (and they have great indie bookshops), I had a huge fight with my mom, there was no way I could concentrate, plus I needed to get some holiday shopping done. 🤷♀️ I took the spirit of the vomiting kid with me and treated the staff accordingly.
Someone needs to make a movie where a team of intrepid retail workers go back in time to stop whoever it was who first suggested it is a good idea for stores to wrap people's fucking gifts for them. It would be a blockbuster.
You're welcome. I recently watched The Shop Around the Corner, set in the '30s, and the level of ass kissing people expected, the tyranny of the boss... It was unbelievable. I think today people want that experience because they feel treated like shit on most days. If we weren't so cruel to each other... You know.

Hey sometimes you gotta get out of the house.
