Is that really a thing? I've been confronted with sexism all my life (especially my professional life), but I've never seen a salesperson that dumb.

Maybe it's just Chad.

Can't say I've experienced it personally, being male and all, but I've seen it happen. I think age plays into it, that salespeople like this Chad fellow think it's more okay to be openly sexist with a girl they see as a child. Problems arise when the client in question is just afflicted with baby face.

I've experienced it purchasing tools and bicycle parts, though it wasn't quite as explicit as Chad in the comic. There's some comedic exaggeration sure, but not that much.

'No, actually it isn't,' said Tiffany. 'Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short.'
