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!)
