Print is dead?

I was trying to sell an Ostrich feather duster the other day (yes, it seems very random but I will literally sell anything of yours if my hourly wage is decent) and there are a few things I like to mention and do to sell it. For example, I let people touch the feather duster because it's so soft, people will just buy it for its softness and never actually use it. That usually works like a charm. 

But some customers need a little more work; so did this woman that came in two weeks ago. She was not completly convinced, so I started listing all the great things you can clean with a feather duster (I make cleaning sound like a lot of fun, if you ever need motivation to clean, hit me up). I told her it's the easiest way to dust off bookshelves and books. The woman just looked me dead in the eye and said: Well, who reads books anymore, let's be serious.


What.


Luckily, my colleague swooped in, knowing that this was a touchy subject and I was about to yell at this woman to get her uneducated ass out of the store, throwing a heavy copy of 'Jane Eyre' after her.

Print is not dead, bitch.
