Um, I'm not sure we're supposed to sympathize with the persona created for that song.

It wasn't a 'persona' created for the song -- at least, not if he's to be believed. Knopfler said the song was taken from actual comments he overheard, I believe at some big box electronics store. More in the vein of an impression of an actual person, not a fictional persona.

Once you take a person's words and turn them into lyrics, you are creating a persona.
