I lend out boxes for people to move their records. I've remembered people looking for albums and put that sh*t in their hand. I'm just tired of the bullsh*t.

People that want a million dollars for their garbage. People that think my store is a garbage dump. People that think my store is a garage sale and want to offer $2 on a $3 book. People that ask for a bigger discount when I initiate the offer in the first place. People that ask me if I'll go lower on a rare record that I LITERALLY JUST GOT.

That's the bullsh*t I hate but I gotta grit my teeth and just be better at dealing with it because I'm turning into a crab.
Or start thinking of funny retorts to dunk on the *******s so that you at least have something to look forward to when they try to ruin your day. Be the guy the crabby record store guy wishes he could be.

99.99999% of the time, what you think other people think doesn't matter at all. I get that you're just venting, and that's cool. It's easy to get frustrated with a job thats ingrained in dealing with people that are ignorant, for the most part, as to what the market for that specific product is about. Coping skills are a big part of it, I'd say.

This. I used this method for dealing with drunk sexist *******s when used to go out in ****ty places with people from high school
And regarding not having a job: I think most people would like it as long as you manage to fill your days in a way that fulfills you, and have regular social interaction. That often does not mean doing nothing though. I had very little to do for years, and if I didn't spend a large amount of time reading and listening to music I would have become very depressed then I think
