Creeeeeeeper

[Department stores *sigh*]

Very odd duck came through the store today. He seemed a bit impulsive and scatterbrained at first which made us all laugh, but what really got our attention was his interactions with some of the female staff!

Incident 1:
Apparently tries to pick up one of my fellow supervisors in the parking lot. Attempt fails miserably and he is shot down.

Incident 2:
Hits on our photo lab girl, attempt fails miserably and he is shot down.

Incident 3:
Tells one of our cashiers he is 'Sure he has seen her somewhere before' she assures him he hasn't, and he is shot down.

Incident 4:
Tells one of our packers he thinks she is cute. Asks for her number. She gives him the number to the rejection hotline. He is shot down

Incident 5:
He bought a bathroom vanity and when he needed help loading it he say the girl from incident 2 going for a smoke break and offers her a cigarette. She says no and is shot down.

Incident 6:
After I help load up his vanity into his freakin SUV he pulls up to girl from incident 2 while she is on smoke break. She tells him to fuck off and he leaves.

Now I know this seems like a 'why the hell didn't you kick this guy out' sort of situation but this is the timeline of events i got AFTER he had left the building. I only saw incident 4 and 5. We all know what he looks like for if he comes in again couse it was waaaaaaay to much harassment for my liking.

That is really creepy.
You'd think he'd give up before 6 times of being shot down.

When he comes in again have one of the guys give him attentive, unrelenting customer service.

[searssoulslave]

I wonder if he's just trying the "If I keep asking everyone someone will say yes method."?

This..this is epic and full of win. Preferably somebody who is flamboyant or can act it.

He'd probably complain about the "homosexuals" in the store and ask for the really pretty female manager

But good on the girl in incident 4. I've memorised the rejection hotline number and also passed it onto the other female staff at work.

It works, but you just have to keep asking, and the law of averages will prove itself. You'd only understand this if you were a guy. It doesn't work the same way with women.

Ick ick ick.

The problem with that is you really offend the all the women who aren't interested. And you decrease the pool of women who will say "yes" by the number of women who notice that you hit on every single other woman you approached that day.

I am thinking that instead of memorizing the rejection hotline number, it would be more effective and less hassle to memorize how to say "no, thanks, but I'm not interested."

So other than a visible ring on the left hand, how are you supposed to show a guy that you're interested? Customer's aren't mind readers either... And how is a guy supposed to show interest in a woman then without them getting offended? I'm sure you'll find more women that are glad that someone approached them for once, as it seems that guys are supposed to "do all the work". wait until you've grown old, wrinkles and crows feet and see if you're still glad that nobody hits on you...

And you decrease the pool of women who will say "yes" by the number of women who notice that you hit on every single other woman you approached that day.

I agree that you have to keep yourself from being noticed by the other women that you are interested in.

Maturity FTW.

Ugh, and my idiot self just read Glamour yesterday and the article that the Idiot Man writes goes on and on about how you should be more careful when rejecting a guy. Puhleeze.

Oh Hell to the No. Hitting on someone at work, when they are in no position to defend themselves or be able to speak their mind? Unacceptable, especially if it's extremely creepy.

Bonus points because this idiot couldn't get the hint that no one wants him, go away!

[Sapphire Silk]

I really don't see how this guy is being creepy. I agree with the comment that this guy is just working the law of averages.

If you don't ask, you never get a date.

If the guy had kept up with the same girl after she said no, then that would be harassment.

And yes, he probably should have not been so obvious about it.

But I really don't see it as creepy.

Going to a store, hitting on nearly every female that works there (mind you, it's not as if they are allowed to tell him to eff off!).....you don't think that's creepy?

It bugs me a lot when I'm hit on, then I see the same guy try it over and over again with other ladies in the immediate area and get the same answer from all off us. Get a clue. You have no schwagger, no class, no vavoom. Ladies No Want You. You Go Away Now.

I may be a bit rude or even jaded sounding, but too many guys do it wrong.

I totaly agree with you Blas, when I first started the job I have now I just stuttered and didn't know what to say because it's like you said we can not tell the customer off. The main reason is customer service, we're suposed to be nice and let them annoy/creep us out. God forbid we even tell them a plain and simple "no" all of a sudden "you're being rude, this isn't good customer service, I'm going to complain." With the management change we're allowed to stand up for ourselves but we still have to be careful, so I tell them I'm a lesbian when I'm on the clock and when I'm off duty I'll have no problem telling someone to fuck off. With my second job in the flea market I'm alot bitchier and agressive in my telling them off.
