Probably way more than you notice. Not so subtle example, but I will say playing “All I Want for Christmas” on a loop is a very effective way to get me to make my purchase and get the fuck out of your store.

Got it. That makes way more sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

That’s interesting. Would you please further explain the clothes shopping thing? Is it that it is rude for a shopkeeper or, say, the people you may be shopping with to say anything except “That looks great on you”?

Then my knowledge of my own limits must. Be my contribution to the book.

Yes of course. With all vested powers I dub thee Venicon, Librarian Most High, Director to the Book. We only have the one, but it is quite good.

I can periodically dust the book. When I’m not dusting, I can stand somewhere conspicuous, and say “This way to the book” if asked.
