Dear Customer:
Dec. 6th, 2009 02:49 pmI understand that I'm a young woman and therefore am inexperienced and dumb, but I do know that there's a country called "Brazil," and that in Portuguese the name is "Brasil."
In fact, I even know that its capital is "BrasÃlia," and that its design has a literally fatal flaw: As a "modern" city, its streets were designed for the car, resulting in a horrendous rate of pedestrian casualties. Did you know that?
Also, it's creepy when old men leeeaaaaan over the register and invade my personal space, especially when they're the only people who do it. Cut that shit out.
This post is about a customer who tried to enlighten me on why it's odd that our made-in-Italy "coffee machine" is called Brasilia and that I'M REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF BEING CONDESCENDED TO.
