Unfiltered Story #172094
(I’m a host at a popular chain restaurant. Even though it’s cooler outside, I’m often hot at work since I walk back and forth seating people all day long. This exchange occurs as I fan myself with a folded piece of paper. I am female and the customer is an older man)
Customer: Having a hot flash?
Me: I hope not! I’m not that old!
Customer: Well how old do you have to be to have a hot flash?
Me: Generally women go through menopause in their 50s. Do I look 50?
Customer: No, but how am I supposed to know that women have hot flashes when they’re 50? I’m a man!
Me: Okay sir.
(Later on I see him exiting with his wife, who is at least as old as he is, and looks like she has probably gone through menopause. I still wonder how he wouldn’t know about something his own wife had experienced!)
