Having It Easy

In many ways, when you stop and think about it, the sockieboy cinema-footslave has it easy compared to some of his fellow humble-heads:

  • Unlike many, he is not located out in the cold and the rain, and thus at the mercy of the elements
  • He still gets to kiss feet before his customers take up their seats, and as they leave (though he doesn't get to lick - and therefore really taste their dirty footwear)
  • He does get a nice, long look at his customers' socks - or, at least, the backs of their socks, as they will be seated in front of him for the duration of whatever movie they have come to see
  • Unlike his compatriots out on the streets, he is not on duty 24/7; he only needs to study shoes and socks when the cinema is actually open!

On the other hand, he rarely gets to see his customers' faces since he is trapped under their seat, and must just try to imagine what they look like from their footwear. Still, you can't have everything!
