Even if he doesn’t do that again I would have an SM/shift talk to him about it and tell him to stop. That’s creepy and not ok. I’m not sure in what world he would think this is cute or romantic.

100% this. Tell your boss, tell your coworkers so they can step in if he continues these shenanigans. We’ve had to tell a guy he couldn’t continue coming to the store if he didn’t stop flirting and being suggestive with the baristas (who were not interested and had told him).

As an SSV, I pull this one out all the time. The first time it happens, I try to assume the best, recognizing the fact that I’m an absolutely catch. I usually laugh it off and say something along the lines of “Unfortunately, my latte skills have already been noticed by someone else and I’m happily taken”. 9/10 times this ends it in a kind enough way that there shouldn’t be any retaliation or persistence. Men typically get embarrassed by rejection and try to avoid you after that. However, if it does continue in any way after a simple “no thanks”, you can absolutely say something to him or get an SSV involved. Any shift worth their salt will happily talk to him for you as that behavior falls outside of our third-place guidelines and if he doesn’t stop he’ll be asked to leave.

I think this is the way, and Idk why is everyone so freaked out he just invited her to hang out :/

have you ever told a customer no to something? we’re a captive audience, it’s not always easy

No but Jason does

I mean if it was someone twice my age then yeah.
