"Oooh, cool records, I remember loving these!" - Dimwit chick
(inaudible sigh) - Owner of store
"Hey, I'm just curious... I don't really want any of the records you have here but can you special order something for me?"
"Umm, maybe, it depends what it is. What it it?"
"Fleetwood Mac - Rumors. I'll bet that's kinda hard to find though..."
"Umm, no actually it's not hard to find at all. In fact, I think I've sold more copies of that record than any other record since I started up the store. If you hang on a second, I might have a copy in the back."
"REALLY!?? That surprises me, I mean, I LOVE that album, but I didn't know that other people liked it too!"
"Yeah, pretty much every single person who had a record player in the 70s had that record, it's very popular still today."
"Wow, I never knew that. Like as popular as the Beatles records?"
"Yeah, probably even moreso than the Beatles albums nowadays. That and Michael Jackson's Thriller are massive sellers here. So I'll go in the back and check for you."
"Well actually, I don't really need that album right now. I don't have a record player but I was thinking it might look good on my wall."
(the owner then gives her the blankest stare I've ever seen for what seemed an eternity.)
"Well, we do have record frames for walls if you are interested that might look very nice on your wall."
"Oh, wow, cool! Thanks, but not today. I was just wondering if you could special order that for me in the future, right now I don't have any money."
