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.
