A few days ago, the all-mighty and powerful Twitter algorithm decided that I wanted to see a clip of a confrontation between a Forever 21 manager and an aspiring local social media “influencer” named “Jon The Don” at Forever 21 in Penn Square Mall.
Because I’m home today taking care of a sick and sneezy 4-year-old and have nothing better to do than write weird ledes and headlines, I thought I’d subject you to it as well.
Check this out:
Did she say he was yelling????

It's good he recorded. pic.twitter.com/SnGtBE8duj
Listen. I know in today’s tribal day and age we’re supposed to take sides on anything and everything, but is it wrong that I want everyone in this video to slip on an Auntie Anne’s pretzel?
Seriously, if you were to compose a March Madness-style bracket of the most annoying people on this planet, there’s a good chance that Authoritarian Retail Managers and aspiring Social Media Influencer Divas who film anything and everything would be Top 4 seeds. Granted, archaic bloggers who then sardonically cover the confrontations for cheap clicks and page views would also make the field, but I’m not the one on trial here.
