Me and my friend were at the mall we're both teen guys. We went into this store and they sell makeup this lady stopped my friend and said
Lady: Hey (female pronoun) would you like to try a sample of (makeup brand) I think it would look lovely on you
My friend: Um excuse me but I'm not a girl
She just looked mixed up why would she refer to my friend as a female if he's a boy? He was wearing a minecraft shirt and a beanie he has longish hair but not as long as some girls. This happens alot in this store we go to they always mistake him as a girl. He wanted a new beanie so he bought one and as we were checking out the cashier said this to him
Cashier: Over here (female pronoun)
No one else was in line my friend looked ticked off and just walked over
Cashier: Did you find everything you needed today (female pronoun)?
My friend: I'm not a girl and if anybody else in your store refers to me as one I'm never coming back here I'm a guy not a female
The cashier then had an attitude with my friend. Were those people being rude to him?
BQ: What should he have done?
