As an employer, I don’t care. What I care about is that he is costing me sales and driving away potential customers. If he can’t do his job, he needs to go.
But it didn’t cost them a sale, now did it?
I have to agree with astro on the fit thing…wearing clothes that look about two sizes too small is something a lot of the younger gay guys around here do. They feel is it fashionable, I feel it looks kind of silly. There is a great amount of leeway between too tight and too short, to gangsta and saggy. In many items of clothing, you can go up two sizes and still look great, and not look sloppy or baggy or unkempt. To imply that anything other than skin tight is sloppy looking is just a symptom of being someone for whom fashion is more important than anything else…like, being able to lift your arms in a tight coat so that you can scrape your windshield!
And it’s not just gay men…there are a ton of really well-endowed girls that I see very day who squeeze them selves into T-shirts that are easily four sizes too small. And I mean squeeze…it’s like looking at a toothpaste tube with all the bulges and rolls straining the very thin fabric.
Maybe the salesman thought you would just look BETTER in a larger size. He said it very badly, and rudely, but maybe he just thought you’d appreciate a little more ease if you had to layer on another sweater.
Gay?
Flamboyant?
That’s something that has to be said in a very tactful way, if at all. People can be touchy about sizes.
“How would you like your steak, ma’am? Still red, of burned like a Jew?”
“What? Do you realize how offensive that is?”
“I was just trying to help!”
Not this time. But it bothered the customer so he basically ran out of the store, then contacted the manager. If I were a manager, I’d take note of it. How many people just walked out and never complained?
Off-topic: whoah. I always just sorta assumed you were white.
Just call me a devil dog! (You know, Oreo, Twinkie, Devil Dog.)
I dun geddit.
Muslims are the devil and South Asians eat dog?
Well, I meant like black people who “act white” are often called Oreos. East Asians who “act white” are called Twinkies. Devil dogs are brown on the outside and white on the inside.
We do not!
We eat cats.
Ohhhh. I thought a Devil dog was a Marine.
Yeah…I really need a better term. Coconut?
I always used chicken tikka masala. Looks Indian, smells Indian, tastes Indian, but it’s actually English. Bit overly specific though.
This thread is about gays. And pride parades in the mall. Get your own thread!!
This thread is about stealth minorities, dammit.
Stealth minorities you say. Well I never saw that comming
