Today, I realized I might lose my job because some asshole customer complained about me to my district manager. His complaint? Girls can't work at video game stores. My DM agreed. FML
I agree, your life sucks 34 500
You deserved it 2 449

Same thing different taste

I spy a gender discrimination lawsuit!

Oh, sexism. Never ceases to amaze me. There was a dad at the school I used to work for who would call in and scream at all the women, and then tell the men that "he couldn't believe they could handle working with so many women". FYL indeed, OP.

I worked a a GameStop for 2 years and a few guys said the same thing. One time a over weight guy came in with his 3 lil monsters he called children (they ****** up all my work on the shelves). He went to one of the guys I worked with and said "this bitch has no idea what a Xbox game is or a Ps3 game is. Girls shouldn't work at video game shops. They only things women should do is cook and clean. " before my boss said anything he goes on to say "now tell that "girl" to clean up that mess" -.- he wasn't allowed back in the store and not was his kids.

Hopefully your DM only agreed to get rid of the annoying dick customer and actually doesn't think that. Have the store indicated that there is genuine danger of you losing your job? If not, then try not to worry too much. The only people who genuinely believe that the customer is always right are customers. Most store managers have seen enough of the public to know what assholes they are a lot of the time and don't take too much notice of frivolous complaints like this.

Wrongful termination! And gender discrimination of course. Take his ass to court!

i have the opposite discrimination in my hometown; most of the big stores where i live almost only ever hire women and minorities.

I smell a gender discrimination lawsuit!

I'm gay, and I find it hot that a girl works at a video game store...

Just whisper "lawsuit" in the direction of HR and they'll be calling for the DM's head!

I love these comments about the girl in the video game store being a 'guys dream'...can we be honest, most girls have to justify their existence in geek culture if they don't have a **** star body. Which is very few of us. Cut the crap here please.

That sucks! Girls can have guy jobs and that's if there even is such a thing as a "guy job". Girls can game too. I play skyrim, WoW, borderlands 1&2, portal 1&2, GTA, Saints Row 3, Minecraft, Arkham city, & Arkham asylum
