Are all black men chauvenistic pigs?
So I'm at work the other day, and a black man is browsing through the aisles. I walk up to him and ask
"What project are we working on today?" with a big smile.
He said, "I want to see the Tile Man"
"I'm the tile woman, and Steve(the tile man) is at lunch"
"Well, he's a man, and you are not, I'd rather talk to him"
I informed him at this point, that I could help him, or he could wait for 45 minutes for Steve to get back from lunch. He finally told me that he wants to replace the tile wall in his shower. So I explain what has to be done in pretty in depth detail. I get all finished, and he tels me, "I still want to talk to a man". I just smiled and said okay, and called the assistant store manager over. I introduced Him with his title, and explained what the man wanted to do. The manager told him EXACTLY almost verbatim what I told him to do. I so baadly wanted to stick my tongue out and say neener neener neener, I may be a girl but I am not stupid. It's not like they don't give us HOURS of training on almost ever item we carry. People like that really piss me off. I can tell you how to lay a carpet with or without padding, I can tell you all about pattern match, I can tell you about how to lay floor and wall tile, how to measure and install blinds, al about paint, how to install Pergo or hardwood floors. Thats why Im a frigging specialtist. Thats why they pay me the big bucks. It just aggravates me and I am ranting.

I think you're mistaking Home Depot for Lowe's. Lowe's has the biggest staff of retards I've ever seen. Home Depot is way above Lowe's on so many levels it's not even funny.

People in general around here are assholes. SO much different from michigan...so much the same too=P
My mom actually works for a flooring company, assistant to the contractor that runs it. Before she managed the family floor buisiness. She would get shit like that ALL the time. Almost came to the point of packing my shit up and leaving due to how the customer was treating her. The dude wouldnt even aknowledge her and was drilling me for information- shit i dont know anything i just sand the edges ;P

From your sample size of one, I think you're pretty safe to make that assumption.

So why do you care if the guy wanted to talk to the Tile Man. You coulda just gone back to whatever you were doing at no effect to your pay and not been bothered by it. Sometimes you gotta let people think whatever they want to think and not waste your time on it.
It has nothing to do with him being black or a man. Hell we have had women call us, get our female tech and ask to speak with a man. Many people are still stuck in the mentality that some jobs are for men and others are for women, being of the opposite sex makes you clueless on that job.
