I hate it when they hit on you when you are ringing them up. That's the worst, cuz you can't go anywhere until they're done and you hand them their receipt.

**Becks** · 06-12-2007, 05:41 PM

I really wish customers would realize that it's not right to hit on employees. (No matter what age the people involved are.)

No matter what you say or do, they keep it up, thinking that they're better than sliced bread, and usually complain to management that you're "rude" if you turn them down.

I'd like to hear more stories from the men on this board about unwanted advances from women. We girls seem to always be the victims in these stories.

I hear a horror story every once in a while from guy friends about sleazy old women at the bar hitting on them, but I've rarely heard of a young male cashier being hit on by women.....at the very least, not nearly as often as girls are hit on by old sleazebags.

For the most part, women seem to be much more subtle and appropriate when they hit on men. Although my wife's Step-mother used to hit on her daughter's male friends in a not so subtle way. It was creepy.

My wife is a very pretty and rather well endowed woman and she works as a public librarian. She gets hit on all the time and has perfected a look that seems to make most men wither and slink away in embarrasement (sp?). And if they don't, she just says "Do I need to call security?"

Not only that, but women seem to be more selective than men are.

A woman might say, "He's kind of cute, but I wouldn't want to sleep with him."

On the other hand, if the woman is even remotely attractive, chances are the guy will say, "I'd

her!" Unless there's something about her that really puts him off, i.e. she's extremely bitchy, creepy, etc.

Women are too subtle. I can't count the number of times someone will tell me that a woman was hitting on me after It's too late to do anything about it, Then when I think I'm getting the same signals from another and respond I'll be shot down.

I'm far from being the only guy who has experienced this.

If it ever happens to me, I'll be sure to post as I'm packing my bags on the way to the airport. You won't see me for dust, though you may hear the screaming.

When I worked at Whiskeyclone I had been hit on by older women every now and then. I was also flashed by older women constantly (

) and once I had a girl who looked to be my age asked me that if she flashed me would I let her into VIP. Granted I just show disinterest most of the time. I do not want to be hit on by old women again. That was creepy.

**Freemage** · 06-13-2007, 12:16 AM

And let's be honest; as noted, men are less selective, particularly for things like a one-nighter. So if the person trying to pick you up is remotely attractive, even if you're not interested, you're likely as a guy to be flattered.

OTOH, even if a guy is physically attractive, a woman is likely to be creeped out by an inappropriate come-on.

**RammsteinGirl** · 06-13-2007, 12:56 AM

Hmm.. I work at Mart-K (

) and I rarely get hit on, and I'm only 20 and I think I'm at least a little attractive. I think it depends on the customer demographic of your store. For instance, most of the shoppers at Mart-K tend to be middle-aged/older women, and families (like husbands coming in with their wife).

Occasionally I'll see men staring at me.. I hate that!! At least be more subtle about it it! One little sleazy guy in particular comes to mind. He bypasses my co-worker's register (she's on 2) and goes straight to mine (I'm one down from her on 3) and during the entire transaction he is just staring at me with this creepy ass open-mouthed grin. If he was hot maybe it would be different.. but he was like a little 5'3 35 year old scuzzy looking guy.. blech. I felt so dirty after that.. I told my co-worker that I needed to go shower, haha.

I have seen him in Mart-K only 1 time after that. He didn't come through my register, but he walked by the checkouts and he unfortunately saw me.. and gave me that same creepy ass grin. It's so gross, it's like he's undressing me with his eyes or something!

Although today, I was working on checkouts, and I rang up this 30-ish guy, and I did the usual "Hi how are you, etc" spiel. He says, "Almost as good as you look!" Wasn't that bad of a come-on, a bit corny. I was a little bit embarrassed.. I just looked down and said "Err... thanks.."

**DesignFox** · 06-13-2007, 12:59 AM

well...being a cell phone slave, I get to work with all demographics. Which means I get a lot of nice people...but since everyone needs cell phones nowadays, I also get to deal with a lot of scum.

**BookstoreEscapee** · 06-13-2007, 02:01 AM

I never really got hit on at the bookstore. Guys were flirty sometimes but that's not really the same as being hit on...then again, I've been told I come across as a bit of a bitch at first impressions (by my ex, among others), and working behind the register I tended to be a little serious because of all the cash (at least while I had the drawer open, anyway). I did have one guy ask to buy me coffee on my break while I was shelving poetry...I told him my boyfriend wouldn't like that and then I was suddenly needed at the register...(and yes, I did have a boyfriend and he was back in the office at the time

)

DesignFox, I know you were caught off guard and probably didn't quite know how to answer but I gotta say, you do not need to tell someone how old you are. It is none of their business...If someone asks again I would suggest something along the lines of "that's not relevant to this transaction" or something equally business-like...if they won't take the hint, be a little more blunt: "that's really none of your business so if there's nothing else..." or "perhaps my manager can help you"

**DesignFox** · 06-13-2007, 02:10 AM

I was totally caught off guard...and even more so because I was in the middle of helping another customer when this butt-wipe refused to shut up and let me call him back...

you're 100% right, Escapee. I should have told him it was none of his business. Hindsight being what it is...oh well. If it happens again, I'll be prepared.

Hopefully, it won't...at the very least I hope it doesn't happen for awhile...guh... >_<

Yeah, well, I talk a good game but I probably would have reacted the same way...

if it would come up when I was just chatting with the customer I'd usually say "Older than you think

"
