YSaC, Vol. 1679: O Fortuna

2014 March 19

It’s a well known fact that the American shopping mall is in decline. Sbarro just filed for bankruptcy, you know. This steady fade has been attributed to a variety of factors: the internet, the recession, Mesopotamia.

But I think it goes deeper than that. I think the management of these temples of American capitalism have just not been forward looking enough. They haven’t managed to predict the future with sufficient accuracy.

Fortunately, one mall is getting right on that:

Tarot Card / Palm Reader Needed For [location] Mall


Hi We are Looking For A Tarot Card / Palm Reader With Exsp. For [location] Mall. two Days a week. Pay Is Great! Keep What You Earn! You Most Be Professonal, Accurate, And Dressed .
All You Need To Do Is Sit Relax and Help People And Earn Money Call For a In-Person Interview ###-###-####

I’m certainly glad this palm reader is required to be dressed. Naked shopping mall employees tend not to work out so well. That’s what happened to Sbarro, right?

Thanks for the post, Meredith!
