It is just as easy to classify the local clients in macro-categories.
After two months of work I can say that the person types change depending on the type of tobacco’s shop and related area.
I’m about to explain myself.
Usually, coffee bar that have the license also to sell tobacco are located in the city’s center. In these places, the customers pass quickly for coffee or lunch and they almost never have time or desire to listen to my speech and where, mostly, they ignore me. We will call them as the people that are taken by a bad mood or, shortly, “the Taken bad”. I enjoy to provoke them and make them feel and appear as they really are: taken bad people.
An example may better clarify the situation.
I: “Good morning. Do you smoke?“.
The Taken bad:
“I do not release interviews and I do not want to be bothered“.
And I gently say:
“you should answer only yes or no! I don’t think I am bothering you at all, in fact, to talk to me a second does not cost you anything”
Meanwhile in my head I am screaming “How is possible that I am bothering you ??? !!! But how dare you !!! And you??? You are mistreating me in front of everyone while I’m working ??? Such a kind of Taken bad!!! Could you not just say that you don’t smoke?”
He, who does not hear my screams and does not catch my repressed anger hidden by a smile of circumstance, still ignores me, and goes away. All those present commented his rudeness towards me. While moving away, the silent man is chased by the puzzled looks of the people in the queue and their chatter, as well, when it comes out, it feels a bit embarrassed. This is what I like to think, because it does not seem possible that a person can be so Taken bad as not even try a bit of embarrassment.
Lesson n. 7- Also in Milan, contempt is not justified by people.
