Why is everyone an asshole today?

Dear asshole clerk at Porter Books:

When I come up to the counter and ask "Do you know if this is any good?" and you haven't read the graphic novel in question, the correct answer is, in fact, "I haven't read it."

"That looks too young for me, I like to read books with words." is incorrect.

Dick.

MOOP!

((PostScript: I used to think Porter Books was a really awesome bookstore. One of my favourite things about it is that it carried comics. Now I'm thinking I'm a little less willing to spend my money there. After all, there are a damn load of other stores that carry those books without so many words, and the pretty pictures. And they won't look down on me when I want to give them my money.))

Uh, yeah. That's enough to stop me shopping there. Tbh I'd probably go "OK", leave the comic there and walk out of the store.

Or, yknow, "Then fetch someone who knows shit about books, like your manager."

This. Regardless of the quality of the book, the behavior was unprofessional and the manager should know about the quality of his/her employee.
