Zero Fit

Today I walked into an Indian Barber and left with a new hair terminology. All I wanted was a usual haircut that would make me look like I've just enlisted with the army. This new young guy, on a slightly weighty side, took twice the time to shorten my hair. He's not as fast and fluid as the older guys, so maybe he's still raw? I was the last customer before he'd go for his lunch, as earlier, he had told an upcoming customer to “come later”. He seemed to be on his last leg before running out of calories. I didn't mind the speed. I wished he'd given me a quick massage before ending his job with me. What came as a shocker was that he had asked for 20 bucks, stating something about “Zero Fit”. Depending on locations of the barbers I visit or just barber luck, I'll be charged either $8 or $10. So today, I was levied twice the amount for a new marketing terminology. I'm convinced a haircut is just that: cut the hair, make it shorter, or balder. I did not request this young guy to make me look like Lady Gaga. A haircut is a haircut is a haircut, no matter what marketing cowdung those experts told you. No amount of hairstyle or hairdo or clothings will make me a better glorified human. Only hardships and GOD can do that. I've lived almost 5 decades of lifetime to understand this. I think that this young chap will soon arrive at Zero Customer. Not every person was born Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. You can't always catch customers who think they're superior cause they got a phone with a fruit logo on the back. Someday, these same folks will literally grow old out of this fallacy. With rising inflation and shrinking income and creeping political madness, cheap and good is the wisdom of the age. Don't let any advertising crap tells you otherwise.
