The Captain Fairness Doctrine
(my two nights as an arcade floorwalker)

CEE

‘Za good job for a sociopath
Being around people without contact
“With, but not Of”, you know the sort of thing,
It kicks ass, that way
Dark room, bright screens
The brrppprreee, brrppprreee
Burpitychirpity of the infancy of the tech
Great to wander, haunting shade, in the sound,
The job fails, for a sociopath
When John Q. Fartypants has a Q
Most often, a complaint involving “his” money,
I remember one, my second night
He didn’t like my attitude
Complained to the supervisor
She Q’d me, ten feet from the guy,
Invincible immortal @ 19, I said,
“Well, if the Customer is too Stupid to Know...!”
And ten feet away, the dude writhed
Chained demon
Teeth clenched
Wanting to smash puny human he hated
Supe said come in early, next day, for “retraining”,
I returned, and returned their smock
You don’t “train”, much less “re-train” people
You fire them, you evict them,
You jail them, you execute them,
You Do NOT Say, “here’s how to think”
I mean, Who was She? William Randolph Hearst?
