Quit your jobs
All your customers will be massive plebs anyway
Maybe I should do this. Every time I go to a record store people think I work there.

insult anyone entering the store about their shit taste
Be as miserable as possible while working there
Every once in a while mutter how much you hate music
When someone asks for assistance, grunt at them

What was the interview like? Did you have to prove to be patrician or at least knowledgeable about music?
Also, have fun helping teenage girls to their alt-J, Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys for their Crosleys.

You're clearly going to the wrong record stores.
Be just as pretentious to customers when they ask questions/recommendations as all the other record store employees in the world

Recomend stuff that doesn't have any relation to what they're looking for. Bornus points if you constantly shill the same album.
"I'm looking for some Wu Tang."
"You'll find that in the hip-hop section over there, but you'd probably prefer the new Alcest album. He's gone back to more black metal sound but the melodic goodness that was the only thing Shelter had going for it is still there."
