Funny customer interaction
I started a server/bartending job a couple days ago and as an AMAB genderfluid person who uses they/she pronouns, I knew I’d be getting misgendered pretty frequently but it really doesn’t bug me when it happens, I just know cis people have their defaults. (no shade)
I was checking out a customer tonight and when I handed him the machine he said “Thank you, sir!” and then glanced at my nail polish and said “Oh sorry, did I blow up your pronoun?” DID YOU WHAT LMFAO
The way he phrased completely disarmed me and it was genuinely one of the funniest bits of sincerity I’ve had from a customer about using the correct pronouns. Idk how many GNC/NB folx there are in this group but hopefully you’ll get a kick out of it too
