so many guys dressed up as grant wearing grant glasses and grant shirts and who look kinda like grant stood in a room for like an entire shootblock with this script memorized

do you think they talked??? or were they silent?? did they discuss the script or theorize about whatever the fuck is happening?? did a grant say 'i'm a new dad' just for all the other grants to go 'oh congratulations man!' and then start giving dad advice because some of them are also fathers???? how many of them are there because how many people would you need to make 'hi i'm 50' true for all of them??? when they left the room did they stream out in a crowd of grants?? do you think they made lifelong friends in that room? do you think they fell in love??? do you think one day their grandchildren will ask 'grandpas, how did you meet?' and they'll say that they met standing in a room dressed as some guy named grant and speaking identically because somehow they ended up standing next to each other and now their love story is forever immortalized in this episode???

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

"The hat is customizable," he said, struggling with the velcro patch on the front. "If I need it, I have an ICE one too. I pick based off the business i walk into."

"Customizable is an important hat descriptor," I said. "what can I get you?"

"You wouldn't believe how offended people get these days," he said. "And I'm supposed to do something about it if you're offended? You chose to be offended!"

"We all have hundreds of thousands of decisions everyday," I said. I thickened my accent. "That's what my stepdad always said. But I can make one easier - we have a delicious Ethiopian roast available."

"Like if I told you you have a bull ring," he said, "because bulls have rings in their noses. Is that offensive?"

I laughed. "I've heard that before."

"It's a joke, but people get offended. Maybe you're offended."

I looked at him. I smiled. "You aren't trying to offend me though, right?"

Of course he was. I was being friendly and the friendlier I was, the faster he switched topics. He was saying anything inflammatory he could think of to see if I'd take the bait. After about 20 minutes of my redirecting and deescalating, he settled into a more normal interaction. He took up too much of my time showing me a product I'd feigned mild interest in to get him to stop talking about getting accused of inappropriate behavior at work. When we finally disengaged, he spent 10 minutes trying to catch my eye again. When he failed, he left.

There's this new breed of customer who insists on trying to incite political conversation through their clothing and, when that doesnt work, their snide little comments. If I owned my own business, maybe I would have given the guy the fight he wanted. But I work for a corporation and I love paying my bills so I deescalated.

so it all works up to the empathy boss - a bush era edgelord millenial trans girl who thinks she's Max from Sam & Max and is inherently unworthy of love
