The Emmers

• RESTAURANT | AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND | BIGOTRY, COWORKERS, THEMED GIVEAWAY
• (I’m a woman working with two of my male coworkers. Note that all the female employees have or are studying towards a university degree.)
• Male Coworker: “It’s so annoying that [boss] is coming in today to cash up. Why can’t one of us just do it?”
• Me: “Well, has he taught you how to do it?”
• Male Coworker: “Well, no, but how hard can it be?” [Female Coworker #1] and [Female Coworker #2] can both do it.”
• Me: “Well, yeah, it makes sense that he teaches them to do it since they work full-time. One of them is almost always here if [boss] isn’t working.”
• Male Coworker: “Fine, but I’m smarter than them! He should teach me to do it!”
• Me: “What makes you think you’re smarter than them?”
• Male Coworker: “They’re women! Of course you wouldn’t understand.”
• Me: *sarcastically* “We also got into university and actually do our jobs well, so I guess there’s that.”
• Male Coworker: “Like I said, you wouldn’t understand!”
