Not Impressed With Man Meat
(I work at the deli counter of my store. I am slicing meat for a customer who appears very grumpy. She watches me slice, bag, label, and hand her the meat.)
Customer: “No! This meat is all WRONG!”
Me: “Sorry?”
Customer: “You sliced it too thick!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I did ask you if that thickness was okay, and you said yes.”
Customer: “Then you held it funny! I couldn’t see it right! I’m not buying this s***!”
Me: “Would you like me to get the manager?”
Customer: “No, he’s probably an incompetent scumbag like you!”
Me: “She might be able to help make sure you are satisfied, ma’am.”
(The customer perks up immediately and looks at me with a predatory sneer.)
Customer: “Oh really? Your manager is a woman?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “Then call her over here so I can explain how you f***** up my meat!”
(Sighing, I pick up the intercom phone and call the manager over.)
Customer: “That just makes you furious, doesn’t it? Taking orders from a woman?”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “You think you’re better than us, but you have to do what she says or she can fire you!”
Me: “Uh, not really. I’ve had plenty of female supervisors.”
Customer: “And that just burns you up inside, DOESN’T IT?!”
Me: “Why would you assume that?”
Customer: “BECAUSE YOU’RE A MAN!”
