Also, have fun helping teenage girls to their alt-J, Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys for their Crosleys.

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."
