In work i was at the counter (i work in a bookmakers) i was called a little queer by a regular customer and this same customer said your gay a week ago. A few weeks ago another customer started singing references to being gay to me in the middle of the shop.
Whether i am or i am not i think its wrong for people to voice things like that whether for a joke or not in any context. I am there to take bets and type them up, not to take crap.
It actually made me a little upset, i had to text a few people while in work just to vent about it and my workmate who i get along with fantastically said i am better than that and should ignore it.
I cannot approach my manager as i dont feel comfortable nor anyone in that company. The only person is another manager from another shop who i spoke to about it before and i may talk to her. I can take jokes and im not that way im up my self about things but there is a line.
Maybe I'm sheltered or just live in a good place, but this seems bizarre to me. Clearly those people are NOT worth yur time. Honestly, I would refuse them whatever service and kick them out. They have no right to insult an employee.
