That lady at the start of the episode was just arrogant as hell


First off, i am asian, and young. The only reason i want to point that out, is because the asian store clerk at the start of episode 3, felt the need to point that out, along with the fact that shes young, and Louie only wanted to talk to her to stroke his ego.

That just comes off as arrogant as hell to me. Especially when people think their minority makes them special and that people only want to talk to them just for a kick. To me anyway, my guess was that Louie was A.) Either actually interested in the pots, or B) Just wanted to interact with a young girl.

Its probably B imo, and i hated her arrogant presumption that its because of her race. Her whole rant about owning her own store at the age of 25, and that the young are the future and being disrespectful to older people just irked me the wrong way. She probably inherited that damn store, or was born into money. And if she knew anything about asian culture, she would know that its pretty ingrained into our culture that we respect our elders and older generation a lot, especially if they helped pave the way for us.

And please, the pollution crap that she's blaming Louie's generation for, our generation is still contributing to it. She fails to realise they were also the generation that gave us technology, and a lot of the luxuries we have today.

Ugh, maybe its just me, but she really pissed me off, haha and i know its supposed to be funny. Is it really just me that got annoyed?

Oh yes, very undateable.

She should've opened it up so he could buy the pots. That's all that really bothered me. He wasn't asking for anything outlandish. She was just being a bitch. It was sad.

Yeah, i suppose I have to agree. She may have her opinions about this guy, but she is in a store selling merchandise. Regardless of who she thinks he is and his motivation for being there she should just keep her opinions to herself or get out of a business of serving customers.I would think if someone like her actually did own a store she would not be very successful. you can't ONLY cater to people you consider to be on your level or who you feel are elite.

Yeah, that and the shape of her head/voice made me want to reach across the counter and ground her facial bones into powder. Then, after said process, make some sort of aphrodisiac paste/mixture ala rhino horn, and sell it to an elite, older clientele that could truly use it, much like, uhm...I'm sorry--where the hell am I again?

Oh yeah. Louie truly can reach and/or beat you over the head in trying to prove some hypocratic point (see the "fat girl" monologue) where subtlety would suit itself better.

I hated that insufferable bitch. I shook my head when Louie didn't put her in her spot and even agreed with her. I enjoy the show and all but Louie is way too passive and doesn't seem to possess testicles.
