I used to work at a family restaurant that also had a take out/ice cream bar side. I was working at the ice cream bar one day when an elderly man comes in. He looks at me for a second, really surprised, and asks me if women are allowed to work in the food industry now. I try to be as polite as possible and answer that yes, I'm pretty sure that's been true for a while. He then asks me if I'm called a fountain workeress or a fountainess. I reply that I've always just been called a fountain worker. Surprised, he looks around and sees the kitchen (in plain view from where he's standing). He asks when they started allowing black men to work with white people's food. I say that the restaurant was founded in the thirties in the North, so probably since the beginning. Then he finally orders his milkshake, which comes to four dollar and change. He pulls out a five and offers it. I tried to take it, but he was holding on to it, really tight. I ask if there's a problem and he says, no, no, just take it, so I yank it out of his hand. Then he says that that was just to prove the point that women are grabby with money. I smile and fake laugh as I hand him his milkshake. He then asks if I can pack his milkshake up to go, as he wants to bring it to his wife in the hospital. The customer behind him, who's been waiting very patiently the whole time asks if she attempted suicide. As the old man leaves, I tell the next customer that his food is on the house.
