At the checkout, the guy just behind me picked up my hair care gel, looked at me, looked back at the product, shook his head, and put it down.
The cashier asked him if that was his or mine and he quickly shook his head no, looked offended, and said, "I don't use hair gel." The cashier gave him a knowing look, like I was some freak for buying a hair care product like it was the most effeminate thing someone could do.
I felt a quiet rage that he even touched my product and became outraged by his and the cashier's reaction and private little joke. It makes my hair flow but that's hardly something only women would want from their hair care. From now on, I will just buy it online.
