I went in to return a weed whacker I bought a year ago. It stopped trimming the weeds in the crevices of the sidewalk. I have never had issues with going into an Ace Hardware and being treated with respect and an equal to a man in doing it yourself projects. On this occasion it was shocking two men came to help me with the return I explained the problem and I was questioned at length as to my problem and asked some very appalling questions as simple as "Did you put line in the spool?" I was taken aback and said "Yes" very definitively. The weed whacker obviously looked as if it had been used. I was so shocked as to the sexist treatment I was receiving I simply said "I wanted to return the weed whacker." Before I lost my temper as to being treated like I didn't know what I was talking about. I am a woman in 2013 who does do stuff around the house besides cooking, cleaning and bearing children. One of the individuals seemed to forget that we are in the 21st century and woman do the same jobs as a man around the house. His mindset was that it was 1950s and we should be in the kitchen baking a cake for the next PTA meeting. Woman it is plain and simple some of their employees are sexist and women should be in the kitchen cooking their dinner, cleaning their house and doing their laundry. I am more than that in my household as many woman are now a days. Women if you wish to go to Ace and be treated like Barbie by all means go but I suggest go to Lowes or Home Depot you will treated with the upmost respect and an equal counterpart to a man.
