Can’t Hear You Over The Sound Of Your Ovaries, Part 2
(I am female and I work at a major home improvement store in the paint department. My manager is mixing paint for a male guest as a lady approaches the desk.)
Customer: *carrying two adhesives* “So, I need an adhesive that will work for [project].” *holds out items to me while looking at male guest* “Are these what I want?”
Me: “Yes, that will work perfectly for [project].”
Customer: *doesn’t respond but continues to stare at male guest*
Male Guest: *looks at me then back at the lady, then nods his head uncomfortably in agreement with me*
Customer: *returns attention to me* “Thanks, I guess.” *walks away*
Manager: “Did she really just ask the male guest whether or not [adhesive] will work instead of asking you?”
Me: “Yep! Welcome to being a young female in home improvement!”
