Never claimed to be a robot, nor can I think of reasons why anyone would like to be one, you are the same as those /pol/acks acting like if being a neonazi was a requisite to post

Hahaha shit dude, buy that kickstarter fidget cube, might help you in the future

Next time try to calmly explain the customer that you dont know enough about whatever they want and direct them to someone who actually does know, lying is unnecesary and counterproductive

I was fucking mortified. My manager is hugely left wing and I'm pretty lefty myself - I have no idea why I answered in that way. I think it was genuinely an innocent response but it made me look like the worlds most ignorant racist.

Luckily I don't think she remembers this, as she still seems really keen on me. I cringe every time I think about it though.
