I work at a grocery store at the meat and seafood service counter; about a week ago a woman comes up looking for smoked pork neck bones:
Me: Sorry we don’t carry those anymore. We only have smoked ham hocks.
Her: Why not?
Me: They weren’t selling as well as the ham hocks, so they were removed.
Her: Is there some sort of discrimination going on against people who eat neck bone? (Not verbatim, but she really did ask me this)
Me: (Proceeds to explain again why they were removed)
Her: (stares at me for 5 seconds, then walks away)
She’s not the first to stare me down, but when customers do, I try to put on my best poker face and just stare back.
