the shop that i am in
by Josh
September 2021
i am in a shop
and i am annoyed
because the shop that i am in
is advertising the shop that i am in
over the speakers of the shop that i am in
to me
a person who is already in the shop
this feels excessive
if i were asked by the shop that i am in
to choose a target audience to whom to advertise the shop that i am in
i would aim for people who are not inside the shop that i am in
in order to convince them to come into the shop
that i am in
at which point i would cease telling them about the shop that i am in
because they are now with me in the shop
that i am in
but i know that i am wrong
the shop that i am in will have conducted studies
that revealed that it is profitable
for the shop that i am in
to advertise the shop that i am in
over the speakers of the shop that i am in
to the people who, like me,
are already inside the shop that i am in
it probably makes us spend more
the worst part is knowing that i am not above this
recognition of propaganda grants no immunity
i am in a shop
and i am annoyed
because i am being outsmarted by the shop that i am in
