true customer tales: hipster fail

With John Lee Hooker Live at the Cafe Au Go Go playing on the store PA, a beardy hipster type and his ladyfriend approach the counter.

hipster: Uh hey....is this Buddy Guy playing?

me, genuinely confused: What?

hipster: Is this...uh...Buddy Guy?

me: No!


I could have been more charitable, but confusing John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy is like mixing up Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Inexcusable.


/edit
As I was taking off he checked out with the other clerk and wanted to charge 93 cents on his card. Buddy Guy indeed.
