Like Comic Book Guy, Except Much Prettier
(Background: I’m the only female employee at the comic/card shop, and I was hired for my comic knowledge.)
Customer: *to my male coworker* “Did Booster Gold have a series before the new series?”
(Male coworker looks to me because he’s the card guy.)
Me: “Yeah. Early nineties. We’ve got a couple of back issues in the dollar box.”
Customer: *to my male coworker* “So you guys have it?”
Coworker: “If she says we have it, we have it.”
Customer: *finally looking at me* “Oh, you know about comics?”
Me: “That’s why they hired me.”
Customer: “But you’re a girl!”
