You should have reported the comment to his manager. If a clerk is stupid, and has stupid ideas about the world, it's best if they kept their mouth shut.

I agree; sexism in the workplace is bad enough, but it's probably even more undesirable to someone who wants to sell a product. Report it!

Now I just kind of want to hear Dethklok sing a Hannah Montana song. O_o

Yeah, wow, holy shit sexism right thar.

What. There are TONS of women who listen to metal, for starters, and who are Dethklok fans because the music and show are great, not to mention that what, at least a third, if not more, metal-genre bands have female vocalists?



What a tool. I would have been all over complaining to a manager about that guy (unless he was a manager, yuck).

My cousin is actually the lead singer in "Walls of Jericho" which is a heavy metal/scream-o band. <3



Metal runs through my blood.

If he'd said Hannah Montana to me with a straight face I'd have shot him in the crotch.

But... apparently she was not included in her own assessment of "girl's" music tastes?

What an idiot. Even if that's what he thinks, anyone with a shred of common sense would keep such thoughts to themselves. I'm pretty sure it isn't part of his job to be rude to customers.

Can't believe there are still record-store guys like that. People, if you hate all but a tiny percentage of published music and want to throw up on anyone daring to request anything so utterly pedestrian as a Ry Cooder disc, maybe retail music is not for you.

I would have found his manager and had a few choice words to share.

Firsly, I've been listening to Metal for longer than I'd like to admit. I'm a HUGE Dethklok fan (saw "them" live). And actually know more GIRLs than GUYS who like Dethklok!



Secondly, I think you should call back and report that ass-hat to the manager. Sure you got steamed and vented a little, but can you imagine if he does that to some other girl that comes in there? Makes her feel ashamed about who she is and what she likes just because some asshole working in the store thinks he knows what kind of music women CAN and CAN'T listen to?



Thirdly, I agree with the "headbutt" option another user posted.

Yes, do call the manager. If I were you, I woulda just walked out and bought the music somewhere else (not chastising you for staying, though). I think the manager would prefer to know that s/he's got an employee who could chase away customers, and that it was your maturity and patience kept you a customer that time.

I would have complained to the manager...and not bought the Dethklok album at that location :/

URGH.



I have no words for the urge of what I want to do with that guy. RAGE.
