I have never been so insulted and humiliated in a shop in my life. The old codger behind the till was in the middle of eating his stinky fish and chip lunch when I came in, and seemed affronted by my daring to even enter the shop and, god forbid, require any assistance.
He then pretended to be helpful, so that when I then asked a further question, he purposely made a fool of me in front of the rest of the shop. I felt humiliated, and was so angry and surprised, that I almost cried. I am unsure whether this was merely a cantankerous old bully, or an act of misogyny on his part, but I will never go to this shop again.
I will mention that his assistant seemed uncomfortable with his behaviour and actually apologised in front of the older gentleman to me.
It still doesn't mean I'll ever face such abuse again until that man is gone.
