Many of us have experienced disrespectful workers. When you walk into a business and encounter an unfriendly staff, your shopping trip will be ruined. However, have you ever encountered a rude and incompetent person that thinks they are the best, but in reality they are clueless? There is no doubt that because of this one foolish interaction, you end up profiting from it. It’s not every day that you see anything like this. So, when a Reddit user shared a tale of a young employee who was nasty and also mistaken, the internet went wild!

“My most-frequently-used knife was an 8-inch chef’s knife, but the one I had was of such crappy quality that I dreamed of the day when I would have enough money to buy myself a Real Knife.” the OP ( u/TIL_eulenspiegel) explains, “So when I eventually got my first professional job, I got my finances all straightened out and decided that it was time to make my big knife purchase.” The OP when entered the store she found an old man who helped her pick the knife out. But in the middle of her choosing the right knife, the old man went on a break and was replaced by a “young rover from another department.” It cost her $40 when she got to the counter with her purchase, which she knew wasn’t correct. Because this was a $200 knife and after-sale it was at $140. He interrupted her when she was trying to fix the issue.

The OP discovered that the knife was wrongly labeled after inspecting the label. The label stated that the knife was a six-inch sandwich knife when it was plainly an eight-inch chef’s knife. So, the woman bought the knife at $40 and left the store! Unfortunately, the practice is often directed at women, with overtones of intolerance and misogyny in the language employed. ‘Mansplaining’ is the term for this.
