Still life
'say do you have the new Rolling Stones album Still Life on cassette? I asked the clerk
'It's right here but it sucks'
I remember laughing awkwardly as I paid. Now if memory serves this guy was a year older in my school, and if I had asked he might've pointed me in the direction of King Crimson instead.
the lesson? never trust a hippee in a green apron, nah Still life does kinda suck. Always trust hippees in aprons.
Years later I saw a Kids in the hall sketch that was exactly the same, only substitute Depech Mode for Rolling stones. I loved this sketch, thought it was genius, because of course I had lived it.

So how did that work when you were on the other side of the counter at Hastings? Did you tell the customer to step away from Huey Lewis & The News "Sports" or advise that Journey's "Raised on Radio" was garbage? I would have.
"Uh. Do you have anything by Eric Clampton?"
We could do a whole post on customer mispronunciations.
