‘I tried to tell you…’: Couple Refuses to Accept Assistance From Female Manager, So She Sends Them to New Male Hire Who Hasn’t Even Finished His Training
Our choices are influenced by unconscious bias, whether or not we choose to recognize it. It is how, in the end, we decide whom to avoid, whom to befriend, and, most importantly, whom to turn to when we are in need…
The story that follows is an account of a young woman who was affected by unconscious bias while simply attempting to do her job. The Original Poster (OP) is a department manager in a big box hardware store. Everything was going fairly well at the store until a couple came in one day asking for a five-gallon oil-based primer. They declined to accept help from a female employee because they thought a woman couldn't possibly be as knowledgeable as her male peer. OP complied cleverly and led them to the first male employee—who just so happened to be new—after realizing that her attempts to negotiate with the arrogant client were futile.
Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened and how OP handled the situation like a pro! After you're done, don't forget to check out this collection of 34 hilarious relationship memes!
