I (24f) work retail and have a script that I follow pretty much every time I interact with a customer. When I approach them I say “is there something I can help you find today?” If they respond with a no, I will reply with “okay well if that changes just let me know”. So today I walked up to a woman and asked her if there was something I could help her find. She responded by saying “no, I’m with him” and pointed towards her boyfriend as he was walking to the bathroom. I respond with my automatic script that I use with virtually every customer, and say “okay, if that changes just let me know” 🤦‍♀️ she didn’t respond and I ran away immediately and we didn’t speak again. It doesn’t help that I am a masc presenting woman and look very very gay (which I am).

I called my girlfriend and confessed my sins and she thought it was absolutely hilarious. If anyone could make me feel better in the comments by telling their own story of when they misspoke to make me feel better that would be greatly appreciated.

TL;DR my automatic retail script ended in me telling a woman that if she broke up with her boyfriend then to let me know.
