Can’t Hear You Over The Sound Of Your Ovaries, Part 9
Bigotry, Glasgow, Instant Karma, Retail, Scotland, UK | Right | December 6, 2020
I work in a car and bike part store. I am female and all my coworkers are male. The manager and I are standing at the back of the store.
Customer: *To me* “Can you please tell me where the car bulbs are?”
Me: “Of course, sir. They’re just over there.”
Customer: “Thanks.”
He brings out a small tool and turns to show it to my manager.
Customer: “Mate, could you tell me what sort of fitting I would need for this part?”
My manager knows the answer but is unable to believe how blatant the guy is.
Manager: “Sorry, no idea. You’ll need to ask my colleague.” *Points at me*
This sort of thing happened all the time. Special shout-out to all my guy teammates who would always plead ignorance and send sexist customers back to me!
