Actually I think it matters more if the person you are talking to 
knows the gender of the person you are talking about, in the shop 
sentence the gender of the friend is unknown to the person you 
are talking to so "they" still works.

I suppose the Dark Age of Camelot line doesn't make sense because 
you as the listener know the gender of Dougal, though honestly it 
still sounds fine to me because I am not really sure if Dougal is 
supposed to be male or female.
