I had a manager at a part time job at _Blockbuster_ say surprised in review “You make it sound like you are only working here for the money”.

I mean, lol, yes?

My retail managers were mostly pretty chill “this is all bullshit so let’s get through it with minimal hassle” types. The workers were mostly teenagers, and teenagers haven’t learned how to quiet their bullshit detectors yet, so externalizing the bullshit generation seemed to work pretty well.

I can’t really understand the mindset that gets really on-mission for that sort of thing, like somebody has a life goal of selling clothes or renting videos out.

    Well if you love clothes or loved movies before the internet was a thing, why not. Of course not at the soulless corporate shitholes we are talking about here. Oh wait, isn't that the exact way of doing business ycombinator is promoting? What are we doing here? Venture capital was the enemy all along.
