So I was at the guitar store yesterday & it was unusually crowded, there were customers who handled guitars off the rack just to get a closer look before parting with cash, even if there's a promotion going on. There was an incident of a customer, while returning a guitar to its rack hanger, accidentally knocked the instrument's headstock against the strap button of the guitar hanging above it.
The sales person who saw this quickly inspected the
strap button for damages.
If you were there, it's rather elementary as to which item deserves damage inspection- the guitar's headstock (wood) vs the strap button (metal). Sometimes, we have this urge to tell people they are stupid but human emotions tend to get in the way. I should have recorded this incident, really...

i've nothing against anyone working anywhere, just that certain occurrences reflect the capacity of individuals in dealing with the events happening before them.
because people are looking, it's inevitable that associations would be made between the employees & the employers. this should be avoided by the educated mind but the human element is quicker to judge, always.
Were this parodied on XKCD, there'd be a material hardness index chart of guitar parts, along with picks, fingernails, belt buckles, amps, and the ground...
(it may be time for coffee.)
the index would have to include the human skull for being hard & resistant to knocks & various sensibility attacks...
