Have you people in shops flirt with you?

Like cashiers in stores or baristas in coffee shops?

Have you experienced flirting or inappropriate comments, gestures?

honestly wasn't surprised at all that it happened, i'm just glad he didn't try to do anything else :redface:

Nah. Most girls normally just stare for like 3 mins or the occasional looking away awkwardly/smiling, no idea why.

Haven’t you posted this before? Snooping and looking are two different things. Are you sure you are not looking into this too deeply?

No. They're sales...women so unless she asks me for a number/contact info I assume they're just being polite because of their job/wanna make a sale.

I was volunteering in a shop and while I was crouched down sorting something on the floor the manager came up behind me and did a typing/light scratching motion on my lower back which was showing and made a weird jokey growl sound. She later said she was too old for me even though I hadn't initiated anything or flirted : /

Before the lockdown it was pretty rare. But since the lockdown I have found female shop assistants quite a lot more flirty, much more eye contact and smiles etc. I even had a smile and "have a lovely weekend" from this girl a while ago who was really nice but literally looked just out of school or on a saturday job and was probably ten years younger. I was tempted to ask her out but idk it felt dodgy tbh. I assume this is because like everyone they haven't been socialising much or been able to flirt in more normal settings.

"Have a lovely weekend", eye contact and smiling is what most people who work in customer service say/do to everyone. Good thing you didn't ask her out.

I think not because I ve caught this dude acting weird.

I explained here in another post . here it is

"He doesn't talk just makes a lot of eye contact though. Once when I was getting drinks from the fridge, when he saw me, he stopped and just kind of stood staring at me then went into the kitchen which was a bit weird???

Then once he was quite cold while serving. Lol! I had seen him earlier but looked away. I was passing the store and he was serving a customer until we both saw each other and I looked away. When u came back to the store to get coffee, he saw me but didn't call me to get served. Instead stepped away, looked around for a minute then called me. Didn't even give me napkins with the croissant lol 😆"
