Customer: 'At what time is the next Tate-to-Tate?'
[note: no 'hello', 'please' or whatever. as usual]
Me: 'I don't know'
C.: 'What do you mean 'I don't know'? Don't you work here?'
Me:'Well, I surely do work here, but not for that company.'
C., to his friend:'You really can't ask anything to these people, they don't understand anything about art, why would they bother knowing anything about the Tate!'
Me: 'Yeah, you're right, I am certainly much less interested about art than you. I am only writing a PhD in History of Art. Still, I do not treat you, nor anyone else, no matter what job one happens to do for a living, like a vulgar ignorant. Have a nice day, Sir. I hope you will enjoy the Holbein exhibition'.
