Yesss that’s why I never say my name on drive thru even tho I know we are supposed to!

I'm nb and i use my preferred name at work.
A lady was being super friendly (which I guess is nice but definitely a huge change from our usual social-anxiety, just-let-this-be-over-with college kids) and she was like "hmmm avery, that's a nice name" and I said "thanks i picked it myself" and she looked at me for like 2 minutes and was like "....ok well thank you, avery" "no problem, have a nice day!" "you too, avery"

Even worse is when they use my name AND look at my chest the whole time I take their order. It’s... just... * *shudders* * ugh...

Edit: a word

Edit2: I’m gender fluid (born fem) and already have body issues relating to my unwanted big boobs, which makes the whole encounter a lot more uncomfortable for me. Just wanted to clarify my use of the word “chest”.

Also, sorry, English isn’t my first language.

Had a guy stand at the end of the bar while I was making drinks just staring one night. He came around later that day and said "Look -my name- there was something I REALLY wanted to tell you earlier but didnt. I really felt it from you..." and then the motherfucker pauses to make it even more creepy, "...Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life, not your friends or your family.." and then rambles on with some tarot reading he had gathered from watching me for 2 minutes.

Like thanks guy, super grateful you're not full on pervy creep, but now I'm uncomfortable and dont know how to respond. I know you probably did it with good intentions, but next time if I want a reading I'll go to the appropriate place for it.

I don’t wear my name tag half the time for that exact reason

I don't even wear my name tag, I keep losing it 🤷‍♀️

I know partners that put fake names on their badge for this reason! 😘

Omfg yaaass.. Creeped like whyyy!

It's worse if you're a veteran. My apron has a flag and says 'marine veteran.' so I also get thanked for my service a lot. Which sucks for generally the same reason. I feel your pain. I. Feel. Your. Pain.... Lol. ;)
