Some boomer just B-lined into my store in such a presumptuous way I almost thought he was looking to cause a scene or something. I’m sitting out front, doesn’t acknowledge me in the least, bolts suddenly inside. I’ve noticed this trope here. The boomers come in like they’re my boss and I should keep on my toes or something. ‘I could buy this place’ if I was bored enough’, I swear I could heard this trad boomer saying in his head. Then he’s like ‘you know I gotta say, $42? That seems ridiculous for a t shirt’.’ The worst is when they don’t have a clue what they are buying and still are so sure the price isn’t justified. Capitol records, 70s dead stock thin tee shirt should have been $60-100, but in boomer land I’m ripping him off because t shirts at Walmart are 20 or under. They don’t understand scarcity unless it’s a classic car.
