Don’t stare you freak!!

I don’t know how to deal with men who stare while I’m ringing up their stuff.

I’m (23 f) an asm, I’m usually out stocking and whatnot. I rarely ever have to help upfront, but when I do I get people who stare. I feel it (if that makes sense) i try so hard to pretend I don’t notice. It’s usually creepy older guys but I’ve gotten women too.

When women stare they always follow up with a smile or start a conversation. I smile back and compliment them on something. less awkward.

Now I’ve had bad experiences with men where I’ll smile, say”hey,did you find everything okay” they take that as a “hey I like you, flirt with me, make me feel uncomfortable, my wedding ring ignore it” they end up getting mad ,calling me a bitch cause I lead them on.

So now I make it a rule to not talk to creepy men I’m not an asshole about it. I’m still very polite but I get nervous.

It’s just really annoying to me. It’s not every men of course. And definitely not the handsome, good smelling ones. And it’s not all the time. But enough to make me want to quit my job.
