Bad Tastes
When Holly entered Tracks, the record store was mostly empty, save for a few people milling over some new releases. A Cinderella track was playing over the sound system, and strains of glam metal accompanied the brunette as she wandered over to the cassettes.
As she rifled through the Q's, trying to find a Queen album a friend had recommended, a movement in her periphery caught her eye. A boy, maybe in his mid-teens, was grasping a few tapes in his hand and acting twitchy.
Holly tilted her head, watching him closely. He was too busy looking out for store employees to notice her, until she pointedly cleared her throat. "Are you sure those are the ones you really want? I mean, if you're going to opt for the five finger discount, make it worth your while."
The brunette approached him, ignoring his surprised glare. She grabbed one of the tapes and held it up. "This one isn't too bad, but...is that Quarterflash?" Holly shook her head disapprovingly. "I think someone should call your parents just to warn them of their son's budding horrible taste in music."
He pulled away from her, grabbing the cassettes back. "Do you work here?"

The door swung open. Billie stuck her head out, no doubt having heard the ladder rattling on the side of the building. “Hey, are you getting paid or what?”
“You know, that’s a subject of some debate,” said Brian. “I did the math and I think it costs more to drive and park here than I make in a day, so actually— ”
“Fuck you.” Billie went back inside.
Brian blew out his cheeks. “I think that’s my cue,” he said.

"Well, Mr. Kent, ring me up and I'll let you get back to work." Holly led the way back into the store.
