Got stereotyped in a cigar shop – anyone else get treated like this?

NSFWQuestion

I’m a 26-year-old blue collar guy, and yesterday I went into a cigar shop to got something. The woman working there took one look at me and immediately assumed I was shopping for a gift. I told her, “No, it’s for me.”

Without missing a beat, she goes, “Just so you know, we don’t have anything with flavors.” Amazing. I didn’t even open my mouth about what I wanted, but apparently she already knew I must be after the cheapest fruity cigar in the place.

I know I might look like a punk most of the time, but damn — maybe ask me what I’m looking for before deciding who I am?

Has anyone else had store staff judge them on sight like that?
