The Event

Tonight at the store I work at we are having a book signing and a talk by Russell Simmons. We are pretty excited because it means some Phat sales coming into the store tonight. Not everyone is so excited though. We had a minister call the store so the one manager gets to take the call.
Man: Why are you having Russell Simmons at your store?
Manager: He is signing his new book sir, and giving a talk about it
Man: No, why are you having that man there?
Manager: (a little confused now). . .to sign his book sir.
Man: Are you the one who brought him here?
Manager: No sir, that would be the home offices decision
Man: Well I don't want him here. He promotes thug culture for our young black men.
Manager: I'm sorry to hear you feel that way sir
Man: Well, what are you going to do about it?
Manager: There is nothing I can do about it. He is on a national book tour, the decision was made by home office.
Man: Well who made that decision
Manager: Like I told you sir, our home office.
Man: Tell them to not have him come in

It went on like that for a bit before our manager just gave him the generic home office customer service number. It just amazes me how just because one man doesn't want him there all of a sudden we should just cancel despite the hundreds of people who have called all excited about it. I can understand his point but why harass somebody who can't change it? Why not find out the name and number of someone who can?
