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.
