A cashier called "it"

Okay, this doesn't relate to the post at all, but when I first read the title, the first thing that I thought of was Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue"

Ha me too!!!

Does anyone actually have the uncensored version of that song? I got one album with it *bleep* another with different word put in. I can't remember if I have a uncensored version. Same thing was done with "The devil went down to Georgia", at least I have the uncensored version of that one.

My manager didn't defend me at all, which doubly sucks, as he is my boyfriend of over two years.

On the upside, the idiot's daughter, who couldn't have been more than ten, actually came up to me and apologized for her father's crappy behavior. Hooray for kids who know what's what.

A big to the daughter. It takes real decency to apologize for someone else's bad behavior, and it's good to see she isn't like her dad. There is some hope for the human species after all.

to your manager for not defending you!

I have been called "it" and "that" quite a few times- and there is absolutely no way to confuse my gender. It's just rude SC's.

Wow, were you still with them at that time becuase I would have dumped him right there in front of everyone in the store. Anyway that is awful he would have called you "that" and "it" since he had relationship with him. Of all the people who should know better then call anyone a genderless name would name would be a significant other or even worse a family member.

Well, I don't think I ever was called "it" or "that" but I might not even remember that. The only time I was ever had gender confusion was back in the 8th grade and in the girls bathroom. Yep, another girl throught I was a guy and asked why I was in the girl's bathroom (well, think that's she said I can't really remember). I did say I was a girl and she was like okay, nevermind. Anyway I do remember seeing my school picture of that year (I have my yearbook somewhere) and yeah, I do kind of look like a guy becuase well, let just say I was going through a major awkard period.

As he is trying to figure out a way to refund the MVP (which you can't do...he had to take store credit, which he was very mad about, even though he spent all of it in that one visit - I guess he wanted to hold it and say goodbye before he paid for the movies), I hear the man say "I'm so sorry you have to deal with that...it's not very smart. It just doesn't listen." I was near tears - I'd had a terrible day to begin with, and now I'm an object. As he was leaving, he thanked my manager and said "I'm so glad you were here to help me...good luck dealing with that over there."

Some boyfriend! If my SO was ever belittled and dehumanized like that by some asshat right in front of me, there'd be hell to pay.

Anybody remember "Pat" from Saturday Night Live?

*singing....badly* "It's time for androgyny...."

And his/her "friend", Chris!

Years and years ago, back in high school, I was working for a national restaurant chain that specializes in pizzas. (Hmm, wonder which one, huh?) Anyway, this kid of about 8 or so comes up behind me and says, "Excuse me, ma'am?" Now, I am not a big guy, but I AM a guy, and my hair wasn't even long then, as it would be later in life. So I turn around to face the kid, and say in my deepest voice (my normal voice is already pretty deep anyway). "YEESSS?" Scared the crap out of the kid....almost literally!

Too bad that didn't happen in the last few years....the goatee would have added something special to it, I think.
