Old school

Slacker dude working the register at the supermarket. I’m in my total dork dad costume — race t-shirt, baggie shorts, clogs and my iPod. (Like most people, I completely don’t care what I look like when grocery shopping.) Dude smirks at me and asks an unusual (and therefore, I think, snarky) question: “Find everything okay?” I answer with a “yep,” and then he asks, “Listening to anything good?” Happens that I’m listening to “Let’s Go Crazy” from Sandinista, so I say, “At the moment, The Clash.” Not what he expected. Shut down! (Either that, or he had no idea what I was talking about.)
