What Is This Culturally Monolithic Country Coming To
Me: “Good evening sir, how may I help you?”
Customer: “I want a good movie.”
Me: “Of course. I recommend Pan’s Labyrinth… it was excellent.”
Coworker: “You are aware that this movie has subtitles.”
Customer: “What the s*** is that?”
Coworker: “The words at the bottom you have to read. It’s in Spanish.”
Customer: “What the f*** is that? We’re in America, we don’t speak Spanish! I want it in American!”
(He storms off and promptly returns with Apocalypto.)
Me: “Sir, you do know this movie has subtitles, too?”
Customer: “What the f***? What is this country coming to? When did we become another country?! I want a g**d*** American movie! Where are the American movies?”
Me: “The store is full of movies made in America.”
(He walks back up about 10 minutes later with Letters From Iwo Jima in his hand.)
Customer: “This is the movie by Clint Eastwood, right?”
Coworker: “Yes, it is.”
Me: “And it’s really good, too.”
Customer: “Clint Eastwood is a real American. He knows what I like!”
(I give a look to my coworker who doesn’t say anything this time, and we rent him the movie. Too bad Letters From Iwo Jima is all in Japanese with English subtitles.)
