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

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 like it better when girls work there more than guys.

That's total BS! I'm a woman gamer and I'd love to work at a video game store :)

The customer is not right when they want management to do something that is discrimination. A woman can work in gaming. I've gotten plenty of good advice about systems and different games from woman. And now a days, the customer is almost always wrong. The store just wants their money, so they'll just nod and agree with them even if they are blatantly lying.

What if the customer demanded that all the black employees be fired too? Would you still think they're right about that?

Yeah,and I better majority of gamer customers would be totally down with a female employee there. Heck, most would probably prefer it.

Time to contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

That's just wrong. I've gone to GameStop looking for games and have helped others find some. I don't even work there either. Games belong to no gender nor does the knowledge of games.

If the DM is stupid enough to fire you for this, file a law suit!

I believe this is illegal. First of all, you need to get this in writing. Write it down yourself. Then ask your DM to write down the fact that women shouldn't work in game stores, "in order for you to understand more clearly." All you have to do, really, is email him the question, and hopefully get back an answer, in writing, where he states that he doesn't think women should work at a video game store. Then you have it in writing. You can show it to the labor board, or something like that.
