Yeah it only gets worse and I hate it.

The only way to cope for me is to mentally tell myself i'm much younger than I am.

Without that delusion I am miserable

I thought the whole point of Clerks II is that what society expects of you is bullshit and as long as youre surrounded by people that make you happy you could totally spend your life running a convenience store.

The 90s were a far different time, however. Working at a convience store isn't exclusively for losers going nowhere now. The perception has changed a bit due to economic downturns and people being laid off. A job's a job.

Does it though? I dont recall Clerks 1 being this artistic masterpiece in comparison. Both are dick joke movies with heart.

Hmm.... be unemployed and do whatever the hell you want and get paid $1200 per week for free or be a wagecuck at a liquor store and barely getting by on $100 a week.

It is true that economic opportunities are much less common with how oppressive the class capitalism system is.

How old are they meant to be?

I actually think the main difference is it might be easier to support yourself being a clerk for a career back then

It was more about the why of him being there. He had an ego like he was too good for that job, despote not really being that great an emploee, on top of what else in his life he was fucking up. The movie is a tragedy portraying the life of everyone blaming the world and the stupidity of others for their state before looking down at themselves. With Clerks 2 Smith spelled out you still have to aim to what makes you happy ,not what you are supposed to.
