That Would’ve Been Rude Even If She Weren’t Pregnant!

I was on maternity leave from work, and I went into my store with my husband to do my weekly shop. Obviously, I was not wearing my uniform.

A woman who was shopping with her mum walked PAST a colleague who was actually working (and wearing a uniform) and came up to me.

Customer: “Where are the [items]?”

Me: *Politely* “Sorry, ma’am, I’m not working today. But my colleague over there can help you.” *Points*

Customer: “But you work here! Just f****** tell me where it is!”

Then, my six-foot-tall husband came up behind the woman.

Husband: *Quietly* “Do you want to tell me why you’re swearing at my pregnant wife?”

People were starting to stare, so the woman marched back to her mum, all the while calling me names because I “wouldn’t do my job”.
