Love this blog. I wouldn't worry about White Guy syndrome, chances are there are plenty of other cultured people that read your blog, but don't have a blog of their own. Plenty of femles responding here, thats for sure. :-) Pure comedy here. Love this blog.

But I think men like to talk and argue about their 'toys' more than women.

And yes, also, kind, curious and open-to-suggestions and question-asking male customers, definitely. And they are great! I helped one just the other day. It's just that when I think of the most challenging customers I've had in the last few months, well, darn it, unfortunately, they've all been men. But hey, men are great! I love 'em! I just wish that more of them that shop where I work were less focused on mainstream labels (read: how good is bringing this wine going to make me look at the dinner party I'm going to), and more focused on what's in the bottle. But hey, it's their dough, they can spend it how they want to! : ) Yep, Sasha, you're right — there are difficult female customers as well.
