Sexism at the LBS

[Koronin]

I would have been POed enough to have left without buying something at that point and told them loudly exactly why I wasn't buying anything. I might have returned at another time when that idiot wasn't working. One reason I like going to Preformance when we're in Raleigh. They are really good about asking if you need help and otherwise not bothering you. Also like my one LBS because the brothers that own it are also very good at not bothering you unless you ask for help. They make sure you know they around and can help if needed. Of course those of us who are in a lot they won't even ask us if we need help they let us ask them if there is something we are looking for and don't see, such as wide shoes for my husband (which in general do not seem to exist for cycling shoes). Although they were able to help him find a pair that actually fit ok for a wide foot that aren't specified as wide. (He is flat footed). They also carry insoles specifically for different arches for shoes in general.

I'm thinking this was likely a (lame) attempt at humor rather than him seriously thinking that all "girls" care about is how the helmet looks and not how it fits. Still, probably wouldn't hurt to mention it to management if this sort of thing is a regular occurrence...not good for business and not good for encouraging more women to ride!
