It’s like, these people show up to work, they work at a record store, and they find out, Oh, the boss has no money. And then they’re like, Oh, let’s save work! Who wants to save work? Whoever wants to save their job? In the sense that they want to save the business they work for. When I used to temp I would show up everyday hoping that the building would be on fire. If they told me, “Hey, we’re out of money,” I would have been so happy. But I’ve never thought like, you know, Who am I worried about? My boss. Let’s get him some more cash flow. I’m going to put a bunch of effort into saving this record store that I don’t own.
