Whoa lady...whoa

so today at work i had this discussion with a customer...

(we will call the woman "lady")

lady: do u guys have any rum balls?
me: not today.
lady: do u usually have them?
me: yes, but they are all gone today.
lady: can u check in the refrigerator?
me: there aren't any they got all bought up. ( i said this is my playful, casual way...knowing it wasn't exactly proper english)
lady: u mean purchased.
me: what?
lady: boughten is not a word. u need to say purchased.
me: i was just speaking casually, it's okay.
lady: no it's not. what kind of example will u be for ur children?
me: i have good english. i even thought about being an english major.

then the lady proceeded to correct me again...i got frustrated and went in the back to get a cake for a customer who had come in. i guess while i was in the back the woman called me unbelievable.

uhh...who does that? y would a woman come into a place and start correcting people she doesn't even know? she was not polite and i felt she had no place. i guess she told my coworker she is a college english teacher....but still...i felt insulted and like i needed to suddenly justify myself and let her know i write songs and get A's in english courses and yadda yadda. she didn't even know me. what if english was my second language and i struggled to be proper all the time? anyway, that happened. true story. whoa lady...whoa.
