Me Watching You Watching Me

During my daily internet trolling I came upon Urban Outfitter’s blog. I didn’t really know stores had the capacity to think independently, but who is this blogging museum to judge? I’ve only been to an Urban Outfitters once, in New York, to warm my hands on a cold day. The idea that everyone in New York is rude is a myth, everyone tend to be really nice, but the reality manifests itself any time you go into a “trendy” store. Think ALife or Supreme. See, the idea in most retail outlets is to be helpful, smile, and make the customer feel comfortable. However, in this bizzaro New York world it seems like the employees of these trendy boutiques exist only to make you feel uncomfortable and inferior.

That’s why I’m glad the folks at Urban Outfitters’ Minneapolis location keep it real and didn’t grow up to be like their New York sibling. In fact, they even shouted us out. So this is me, shouting you out, for shouting us out. Me watching you watch me.
