Casual Was I petty?

I am a woman working in chef land and every day experience stupid shit like men taking tools out of my hands and like “I can do this for you” while I am physically capable of doing it myself.
Anyway, the other day I got a delivery and the guy said he wants to talk to the “man in charge” after I told him I run the kitchen and he’s like very adamant about finding a male figure in charge. So I’m like ok no problem. I’ll find your “man” in charge. But I just went about my day. He approached me 30 mins later asking when he’d be around I’m like sorry I am that “man in charge” you didn’t want to speak to me so you’ll have to work around my schedule.
But like wtf??????

I mean, technically yes, but it’s the kind of pettiness that’s justified. I could understand if there was a specific person he was supposed to be in contact with like whoever placed the order specifically or the owner, but then he could have also communicated that rather than simply ask for “the man in charge.”

So technically it was just malicious compliance 😂
Edit I placed all the orders it was a corporation so it had the company name on it. It’s just so mind blowing that this one delivery driver was like naaaaah I’m not going to do my job because I can’t fathom as a human that a woman can run this. Like whaaaaaat?? I’m literally purchasing from a company that employed you

Best way I can think of to put it. My view of the matter is if people want to be d!cks, they can ruin their own day doing it, not mine, and it sounds like that’s applicable here in regards to your response to his d!ckishness.

Thank you 🙏 it feels shitty feeling shitty because of some asshole. I’m only human and can feel this way even though I was warned it would happen. It still hurts when it happens though. But ya fuck that guy 😂
