I remember buying My Bloody Valentine's Loveless cuz it was playing in the store one day. I remember the girl behind the counter was really happy because she had put it on, and another guy behind the counter said to her "you know you get some commission for selling a copy right?" And she smiled and said "Really?!" And he chuckled and said "No."

When I was working at a different record store I put on Hum's Downward is Heavenward one night and this girl at the counter started telling me how nice and enjoyable it was, but as the song went on, her demeanor changed and she started asking me if it was drug music and wanted to know if I approved of that because drugs were bad. It was a strange encounter and I think that's why I still remember it so well.
