Erica: Truck owner John: Mechanic
Erica: Truck owner John: Mechanic Play: the role of an “imposter” ethnographer Note: what is important to Erica and John
What’s important to Erica? To feel empowered “It makes me feel good” (to drive up in the big truck) To appear knowledgeable “I don’t want to look dumb, or sound dumb” To trust her mechanic “I have to trust, I have no other choice” To be independent “I can deal with the situation . . . I can figure out what I need to do and just do it” To learn “I wish they would let me go in the bay . . . So I could learn more”
What’s important to John? To be trusted “You think you had a good reputation, but it wears on you when people question you.” To tackle a challenging problem “Watching it drive out of the driveway with no problem at all” “I listen to Car Talk on my day off to listen to peoples’ gripes and see if I can get the answer.” To build relationships with customers “I love the clientele… familiar faces that come back time and time again comprise 80% of my enjoyment of my job.” To service knowledgeable clientele “They understand stuff, so it’s not a big battle”
