(I have very long hair, which I wear in a tight bun per regulation, and I am quite obviously female. A customer walks up to me, but my back is turned.)
Customer: “Sir?”
(I continue my work, thinking she’s talking to a coworker nearby.)
Customer: “Sir?”
(I still don’t pay attention, so the customer taps my shoulder.)
Customer: “Sir?”
(I turn around.)
Me: “How can I help you?”
(The customer is clearly surprised.)
Customer: “Sorry! Can you tell me where [item] is?”
(I point the customer in the right direction. Later on, I’m cleaning one of the registers. The same customer walks up to me.)
Customer: “Sorry about before. I really thought you were a guy.”
Me: “That’s okay.”
Customer: “You should really doing something about that hair. It makes you look too masculine.”
Me: “What do you mean?”
Customer: “You look like one of those metal heads.”
Me: “Since when do metal heads wear their hair in buns?”
Customer: “Never, but you still look like one!”
