Sometimes you see them frequently, sometimes you see them less frequently. But you're related to them, and can be yourself around them. Monkeys.

September 4, 2012: Music Store People Who Know What They're Doing

Today, I visited two music stores, looking for the same thing.

At the first store, the experience went kind of like this:

Me: "Hi, do you have [CERTAIN SHEET MUSIC]?"

Employee: "Ummmm. If we do, it'll be over here.... Yeah, I'm not seeing it. Oh, wait. Is this it? I think this is it."

Me: "No, that's not the right one."

Employee: "Huh. Well... Um..."

(This continued on for a little while, and he wasn't a new employee. He also asked his co-workers, who all had almost exactly the same reaction)


The second store experience went like this:

Me: "Hi, do you have [CERTAIN SHEET MUSIC]? Oh! It's right here."

Employee: "No, that's not the one you're looking for. That's the cut version that people use for auditions. If you want the whole thing, it's right over here."

Me: "Oh, wow! Thanks."


Thanks, employee I don't know.
