42. I can't top that, but I have a record store anecdote much like yours...
In New Orleans, a record store was accepting applications for employment. Some fortyish white guy came into the store and asked for an application. The snobby guy behind the counter did something insufferably smug: instead of giving the guy the application, he asked him, "Do you know who Sam Cooke is?" Job-wantin' guy replies, "Never heard of 'im." Record snob guy goes, "Get the hell out of my store."

As a witness to this event, I couldn't decide which was worse: the customer's stupidity or the counter clerk's haughtiness.


Oh, yah, and once when I worked at a record store in Connecticut, a fortyish white guy came in and asked about the Misfits. He said he was a big fan of "DAN Danzig."
