Setting Daddy’s Little Girl Straight
(I’m gay and working in a clothing store for teens/young adults. A roughly 15-year-old girl comes into the store. Her dad is sitting on a bench right outside the store in clear view of the check-out counter.)
Girl: “Hey there. Do you offer discounts for pretty girls?”
Me: “I’m afraid not. Unless you have a coupon, your total will be [total].”
Girl: “Maybe you can give me a discount for a different kind of coupon?” *slowly pops open the top buttons of her shirt*
Me: “Oh, honey, you’re gonna need a few more years and a surgery before that’s going to work on me.”
Girl: *scowling* “Are you calling me flat-chested?”
Me: “Different kind of surgery, honey.” *pointing out my rainbow bracelet*
Girl: “Oh, ew!”
(The girl’s dad has managed to storm right up next to his daughter without her noticing. He’s clearly fuming.)
Girl’s Dad: “You better have a good reason for flashing this kid your cleavage, [Girl’s Full Name].”
(He made her put all her clothes back and leave the store in tears.)
