(I am a manager and I am ringing up a woman that I have served before. We are making small talk as I ring her up. Note: I am a lesbian.)
Customer: I can't believe the president came out in support of gay marriage!
Me: I know! It's kind of unbelievable.
Customer: That f*g lover is going to burn in hell for that!
Me: *biting my tounge* Okay.
(I finish ringing her up and hand her the bags.)
Customer: They should round up all the gays and put them down!
Me: Well that would be bad for me seeing as I am a lesbian.
(The woman turns pale and walks out without saying a word. A few hours later I get a call from a manager of another one of our stores. On the line, I can hear the voice of the same customer that I served earlier today.)
Manager: *also a woman* So there is this woman here who wants to exchange a bunch of stuff from your store. When I asked her what was wrong, she said you tainted them; I have no idea what she is talking about, could you maybe clear this up for me?
Me: Well I bet it's because she found out I was gay.
Manager: I see. *starts talking in a sultry voice* Well I'll see you for our date tonight. You should put on that black bra and panty set I got you for your birthday! I love you! *hangs up*
(I am very confused, seeing as I have never dated that manager, nor did she ever give me underwear, and as far as I know, she is not gay. Fast forward a few days later to the manager weekly conference call: apparently, the customer left the other store after thinking the other manager was gay. That manager then called every other store in the area and told them about that customer. Over the next few days, the customer went to every store within a 20 mile radius, trying to return the "tainted" goods. Everyone she talked to pretended to be gay when working with her, and she left every time. To my knowledge, she never returned the goods.)
