Hypester vs Hipster

working at a shop with an sb account guarantees you a shitload of calls from asian kids who feel like this one given pair of shoes that a pop star or magazine put in the spotlight is their ticket to salvation and guaranteed coolness
these kids couldn't care less about sounding polite or reasonable...if they can call more than 1 time in a day about the same thing, they definitely will
they also couldn't give two shits if you have a whole store full of fresh foot coverings...if you don't have the 1 thing they want they'll leave

it also means that the scenester kids who have a good sense of style and appreciate the stuff you have on the shelf will come in after they just had hangover brunch and browse with their posse talking shit about how these are the ones they like and they'd buy them so fast if they actually had money meanwhile they spent 100 bucks at the bar the night before and their converse have a gaping hole on the side that their toes are poking out of

they also don't buy shit and in the end you just end up selling everything to jewish kids that come in with their moms and get something "for school"

but at the end of the day i get paid and wear the freshest shoes out there so fuck it
