He is. He's very cynical about the customers -- but the question is whether he was always that way, or has he been broken by the shop.
I'm certain the shop can break you. It's intensely negative in many ways, and just developing a hardened exterior is an easy way to deal with that. It's business and it's in the jungle. People are desperate, crazy, retarded and high, and you have to tell them no, over and over again.
Sammy has been at the shop for a year. He's hilarious. I really like him because he's smart and super-funny and we are getting to the level where we can riff.
