    Look again…. Her stance, facial expression and the emphasis on no pickles all point to an aggressive approach to a situation that does not warrant it. Have a little sympathy for the person behind the counter, OK?

      So… because she’s a woman and is showing even the slightest bit of irritation at watching Luigi get ignored? Got it.

      I’ve been the person behind the counter, honey. So I say again, I’ve seen the kind of demons the service industry has to offer and this is not one of them. You can be polite and firm at the same time and this is what it looks like.

        PS: Stop trying to make this a sexist thing. It makes you sound sexist. This meme would be just as needlessly aggressive and abusive if the roles were reversed.

          You’re the one saying there is aggression and abuse here. There’s none of the stylistic choices to the bubbles or lettering that usually indicate yelling. The lettering is consistent and even with only a mild bolding on “no pickles” indicating a very even tone with slight emphasis on the bolded words.

          Oh no she’s got her hands on her hips and a slightly annoyed expression, but nothing indicating any movement or action. Nothing indicating she’s doing anything more than standing in that position. There’s no lines drawn coming from her mouth indicating she’s yelling, her hands are at her sides very non-aggressively.

          Literally everything about the context in which this is presented implies that the situation is that she just spoke up calmly but firmly. YOU are the only one ascribing any kind of ill intent to this. Your stated reason? checks notes her stance and her facial expression… and I’m supposed to… not read this as you just saying “Woman Angy… Woman Wrong”

          Riiiiight.
