Dear Customer,

     I would like to point out a few fact: 1) I own over 30 cookbooks, and probably over 300 recipes. 2) I was raised in a family that believe that everyone should know how to cook.  3) I enjoy the smells and tastes of food, and therefore try to cook on a daily basis.
     So with those simple facts in mind, I would like to point out something else; when you call in and ask in an oh-so-snarky manner if I "know how to work in the bakery?  You're a guy."

I am not amused.

     Trust me, I know.  If I didn't, I'd be calling in to order a cake.  Or a pie.  Or a box of turnovers.  Or any of the other six-and-a-half dozen things that our department offers, and you don't know how to make.  Guess what?  I do.  I can make cakes and pies. Cookies, turnovers, truffles... no problem. I can probably out-cook you and your family. I enjoy baking and cooking.  My Y chromosome has nothing against learning how to make a good meal.  And it doesn't give you reason to be an ass either.  

    I don't care if you were raised in a world where women only cooked, and men only worked.  Welcome to 2008 dumbass.  Women can bring home more money than guys, work on cars, and fix things around the house.  And men can clean, take care of kids, and cook.  Either get with the times, or stop interacting with the rest of the world.

    
P.S.   And whatever you do, don't say 'you were just trying to be funny.'  Trust me.  You're not clever.  You're not witty.  You're not funny.  You want funny?  Tell a knock-knock joke.  I laugh at those.  All you manage is pathetic and irritating.
