Some customers seem to think they can say whatever pops into their head, even when nobody asked for their opinion.
One bakery employee dealt with that after a man noticed the college sweatshirt she was wearing and asked if she went there.
She explained that she had graduated years ago, which led him to ask whether that was where she got her education.
Then, with a smirk, he asked if that was why she was now selling donuts.
Rather than stop there, he kept going and started sharing his thoughts about mothers staying home with their children.

Second customer I saw this morning ruined my day.
I work in a small but very busy local bakery.
We can wear whatever we’d like, and today I wore a sweatshirt from my college days.
I’m in my 30s but look young. The following exchange happened:
At first, it was just normal small talk.
Customer: -points to my shirt- “Oh, do you go there?”
Me: “I did, quite a while ago.”
Customer: “I’ve heard it’s become a really good school.”
Me: “Yeah, they’ve expanded it a lot. It’s completely different now than when I was there.”
Customer: “Is that where you got your education?”
Stunned, she wasn’t even sure what to say after his next comment.
Me: “Yep!”
Customer: -smirks- “So is that why you’re here, selling donuts?”
I managed to produce a smile and politely explain that I have young kids at home, which sent him off on a tangent about how “kids do better in life if their mom is home with them,” but how it’s such a burden for dads to “make everything else work.”
Also about how he’s diabetic and shouldn’t be eating donuts. Sir. Why are you even here then?
Wow. What a disrespectful thing to say to someone.
Let’s take a look at what the fine folks over at Reddit would’ve done in her shoes.
It would be funny to see his face after this.
For this person, it just reinforces why they never want to be a cashier or server.
Now, that’s rude.

Here’s another mom who experienced something similar.
The customer was way out of line. Shame on him for saying things like that to this mother.
It’s crazy how he knew absolutely nothing about her life, yet somehow decided he had enough information to start judging her school and career choices.
Then, as if that’s not bad enough, he had to give his two cents about parenting.
Some people really need to learn when to keep their mouths shut.
