@Soubresaut I would like to think I’d have the guts to tell that sales person, “You’re an asshole and I’m going some place else. I’ll leave a note with your manager and the owner of the store.”
I think I would have gotten pissed enough to turn on my heel and walk out, but I probably wouldn’t have said anything.
I have a whole post in FB from last summer. I had walked into the hardware store. When I was ready to check out I found myself in line behind this very tall, strong looking young man…and he was wearing a NEON PINK T shirt! I went through all this rant about Real Men Don’t Wear pink and being all homophobic and yadda yadda yadda.
I finally said to the young man’s back, “REAL MEN DON’T WEAR PINK!!!”
The young man turned around, flashed a grin and said “Hi Ma!”
The shirt had the logo of the place he worked at. They’d given him his choice of color. ;) It really looked good against his sun tanned skin.
I love that he is so confident and secure in who he is, and that he really, really likes himself. Maybe because I usually liked him too, from the moment I laid eyes on him, all slimy and wet.
