Reason #489106 Why I Often Hate Our Customers
A customer walked in to our showroom today (where I camp out) and said, "I'm here to see someone."
Naturally, I asked (duh), "Who?"
Customer: "Uh... Well, he's kind of a big guy."
Me: "Does he have glasses?"
Customer: (gesturing behind me, deeper into the showroom) "He's right there, the big colored guy."
Yes.
'The big colored guy'.
In case you're checking your calendars, the year is still 2006.
WTF?
Even more WTF, it was a fairly young guy. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised by that kind of crap if it was some old dude, but some young guy? Someone is still teaching their kids to use that terminology?
