UNKNOWN: “All right, out here shopping for tampons, but they don’t have the tampons for men in yet. I’ll ask. Hey, excuse me, sir. So, I found your normal tampons, but I’m actually looking for Tampons for men today. Where would those be at?”
STORE CLERK: “Uh, let me see the one you got.
UNKNOWN: “I got these.”
STORE CLERK: “Okay.”
UNKNOWN:” But I want the ones for men, not those.”
STORE CLERK: “Um...I don’t see the ‘woman’ on there. I think these are the ones for men.”
UNKNOWN: “No, you see how it’s all, like, Pink and purple. I’m not trying to pay the Pink tax on this. I just want normal tampons, you know, like, the ones marketed for men.”
STORE CLERK: “For men?”
UNKNOWN: “Yeah.”
STORE CLERK: “Oh, okay. I don’t think they — I don’t think they really have these.”
UNKNOWN: “Well, they have to, right? Like, they got — they got dude wipes. I want that, but, you know, tampons.”
STORE CLERK: “For men?”
UNKNOWN: “Yeah.”
STORE CLERK: “You want tampons for men?”
UNKNOWN: “Yeah.”
STORE CLERK: “Okay.”
UNKNOWN: “Are you saying that you guys don’t carry that?”
STORE CLERK: “I don’t think we have those.”
UNKNOWN: “So what you’re saying is that you’re not inclusive or — “
STORE CLERK: “Um, definitely not. I — I think that they just have these here. I think these are uni — unisex, so everyone can utilize them. It’s kind of, like, for all people.”
UNKNOWN: “I don’t — see how it’s Pink? I don’t wanna pay the Pink tax on that. Like, I just want normal tampons that aren’t gonna have that extra tax.”
STORE CLERK: “This — this box here is, uh, $7.99, and this one right here is 7 — $7.39. It’s a little cheaper. You wanna get this one instead? I’ll put this one back. This is black.”
UNKNOWN: “Are those for men though? Like, does it say ‘dude’ on it?”
STORE CLERK: “Uh... I’m looking. Yeah, this is ‘Ensure every person has the product they need.’ Every person. This is for every person.”
UNKNOWN: “Oh, okay. You know, that’s actually very helpful. If that’s the best you can do, thank you so much for your help today.”
STORE CLERK: “Okay.”
UNKNOWN: “That’s — yeah, that’s way better. All right.”
STORE CLERK: “Okay.”
UNKNOWN: “Thank you.”
STORE CLERK: “Let me know if you need anything else.”
UNKNOWN: “I will. Thanks. Have a great day.”
