Putting The Red Light… On This Conversation
My coworker thinks he’s funny, but he’s mostly just offensive. I don’t know how he hasn’t been fired up to this incident, as it isn’t even the most offensive interaction. A member of our upper management (originally from Austria) comes to our store. [Coworker] corners him in the break room.
Coworker: “Hey, I heard you talking earlier. You’re German, right?”
Manager: “Actually—”
Coworker: “You have, like, hookers and s***, right? Titties in the windows?”
He grabs his own chest and mimics being pressed against a window.
Coworker: “Like Amsterdam.” *In a bad Rastafarian accent* “The ganja, Mon!”
Manager: *Standing up* “We haven’t been introduced.”
Coworker: “Oh, right on. I’m [Coworker]. You’re [Manager], right?”
Manager: “Well, [Coworker], I hope you’ve enjoyed your time at [Company].”
[Manager] walked away. [Coworker] stood there for a moment, waffling between confused and entertained. Two days later, his job was available.
