Age Discrimination

Michael has needed a haircut for a while, and we just haven't had time, so Friday night Andrea finally took him to a haircut place, and was told that it would be a half hour until they could get in. So Andrea & Michael walked around and came back a few minutes before the appointed time. When they got back, they were told that they were still running late, so it would still be a few minutes. So they sat there again and waited, and Michael was behaving very well. Unfortunately, beside them a 40-50 year old man was not behaving so well, and when the stylist got done with her current client, she told the man that he could go next, despite the fact that Andrea protested that she & Michael had been there first. She just said she had decided that she would do him next. Andrea was not sure if it was because he had been complaining, or because an adult haircut is more expensive than a little kids haircut, but Andrea then told them that she was leaving because of the rude treatment, and they seemed to be shocked, but I'm sure they didn't really care. So yesterday, the mission was finally accomplished, and Andrea returned with what looks to be a different older child, the voice is remarkably the same though :)
