Went to Hoboken Vine today with a male friend and a female friend for their CBS (a beer) release. There was another pair of male friends there (this will become relevant shortly). Guy at the counter looks at me, my male friend, and my female friend and immediately says to her, "in order to keep this fair, we're only allowing one bottle per couple". He proceeds to sell me a bottle and my male friend a bottle but wouldn't sell my female friend a bottle. He then proceeds to also sell the other pair of male friends each a bottle.
Now, try for the life of me, I can't interpret this as anything other than BLATANT SEXISM. Guy at the counter thought that just because my female friend was female, she couldn't possibly have been waiting for the bottle for herself... that she had to have been muling for someone else.
I for one, will never shop at this establishment again. I think the owners need to think long and hard about the type of people that they're hiring. In a day and age (not to mention town) where issues like these are at the forefront of people's minds, I can't believe that I'd actually be witness to something like this around here.
