I'm probably being sensitive, but thought I would ask (as my DH is doing my head in)
DD is 18, currently works part-time (in a supermarket) and was told to do a certain cage, she got it done quickly, so went to help her colleague. The store leader came out to help the other colleague and said to DD that it's okay as he can help, she asked that it's honestly fine as she has nothing else to do. He then reminded her 15 times to be careful (it was alcohol) and was telling the other colleague to 'hurry up as (DD's name) is holding something heavy' - DD says it really wasn't that heavy and that the other colleague was holding something heavier. DD has had no past experience of smashing anything, etc. so can't really see where it has come from. Other colleague is her age, so can't be because she is quite young.
To be honest, I know it isn't the biggest deal in the world, but DD says that she feels a bit crappy that he thought she couldn't do her job. It's DH who is pissing me off, saying that 'they were probably just trying to be nice to her'

AIBU to think this is sexism (and wasn't just trying to be nice)?
