SC got told

[Apathy]

Rerant's post reminded me of this story.

SC - sexist asshole
CB - Same Cool Boss mentioned in another post of mine

So, I get a phone call saying there's someone over in sporting goods that needs help, and they're being a jerk. Yay.

So I go over there, and it's some guy and his (probably) wife. He's instantly bitchy. He's looking at the fishing poles, which are tragically unlabeled. It really was a bad system. He wants to know the prices on some. I agree that the way they're marked is stupid, and I tell him I can walk to the register that's not far away, scan them, and tell him the price. Obviously, this is unacceptable. He also wants to know what gauge of line is on them. I don't know, but I'm looking to see if it says. While I'm trying to help, he demands a manager. Awesome: I'm done with him.

I call, and tell her that this guy wants to talk to her, and he's a total ass.
My boss tells me later this is how it went down.

CB: Hello, sir, how can I help you?
SC: What gauge of line is on this pole? *holds out item*
CB: *Inspects fishing pole* I don't know, sir.
SC: Let's get a man out here, ok?
CB: Sir, are you a man?
SC: Yes.
CB: Do you know what gauge of line is on there?
SC. No.
CB: Well, there we go.

This guy's wife was standing there the whole time, probably super embarrassed.

He not only got told, but emasculated all at once.

One of the coolest managers we ever had was talking to me in my back room when one of our problem SC's comes up to the register (about 15 feet away from us)...

SC: Hey! Ring my shit up! (this is a bakeshop register, meant for you to buy a coffee and muffin on your way to work and maybe a few snacks and be on you way, not to ring up a cart full of stuff)
MOD: sir, you will have to go up front
SC: make the asshole employee ring me up
MOD: leave the store now, I do not tolerate customers treatign my employees like yu did (the Sc is now shacked the MOD do not bow to him and is just speechless)
SC:....um.....
MOD: out now, asshole

SC runs off

Was it professional, no, but we havens seen the SC since.

You need to put that in your comic if you haven't already.

YES!!!! Your manager rocks! I can only imagine that the guy's jaw was low enough to mop the floor after that come back from the manager?

Seems like I should have thought of that myself.

Oh how I wish I'd been there to see it.

That is such an awesome argument.

Your boss rocks.

How did she manage to escape the 'I must be a spineless drone' degree that is awarded to most retail managers?

She ran a daycare business and worked at our store mainly for the insurance. So, seeing as how she didn't need the job, she didn't take anyone's crap. Also, she was just that kind of person anyway.
