Anyone else have those?
Thankfully my main creepy regular is working elsewhere now and no longer comes in but he had a habit of complimenting me ALL the time and every time I wanted to barf.
But now I have a new creepy guy who I think only comes in to order a refresher so I have to stand at cold bar and he can stare at my ass while I shake the shaker. Every. Single. Day. GAH!

I had one guy who would fully grab my hand every time I handed him anything. Change, the receipt he always asked for, his drink, his extra straw. It got to the point we would put everything on the counter and just slide it towards him.

His hands were always cold and wet too. So gross.

Yess! The grabbers!!!
We have a lot of those at my store actually, especially back in the summer with tourists, they’d all hit on us so I got in the habit of always holding things like the stirrers at the far end and everything else I put on the counter. I’m over it

The dude who always did that to me had the driest hands ever, like literally sandpaper. Came through every single day and always paid in cash so he'd grab my hand like 3 times per order

i am my stores token and only trans girl (woo diversity hire) so yeah i've sniffed out a few chasers


first few weeks i couldn't tell who was staring because they couldn't figure me out and who was a creep, but the creeps are the only ones still staring

One guy that is a regular has been banned from a couple other stores in the district. One time he came in lobby and talked about wanting to hug the shift at the window. She says she can't leave window, so the dude got his drink, went through DT, and ordered another drink...

We had a guy banned for making a rape joke. The second that “joke” came out of his mouth that was it, everyone just quietly escorted him out and he was told to not come back

Yeah there have been times when I've been called over to take a guy's order or to check and see if some dude is still in the lobby. I swear some of the shit that women are forced to put up with is ridiculous.

Kind of not *too* creepy, but we have a regular who cracks your mom jokes at 4am.

We had one who kept trying to get the SSV to go out and see his car - but it was just a normal car, we sort of just laughed it off but our manager heard and was like “no I’m shutting that down” because I guess she knew of him making a couple of mildly inappropriate jokes before and the next time he came in she told him if you try to get any of my employees outside to your car again you’re not going to be allowed in here anymore. But she was a badass and had no problem standing up for us as soon as she heard any customer out of line she’d take action. I wish they were all so proactive in that way.

And in a previous similar job I was just being kind with a young man who appeared homeless and I think with schizophrenia. He ended coming a lot to look for me and made some comments. My manager got scared to leave me by myself (during pandemic sometimes solo during breaks). I asked him not to call the police because I didn’t feel threatened. And eventually the young man came by clean and seemed to have received some type of support because he looked happy and spoke well so that was nice to see. But there were times before he’d be waiting outside by the dumpsters when I took out the trash and say he’d wait for me to get off shift.

Ooo, that’s absolutely terrifying. Glad that he got help though.

bruh yes. First incident I encountered with him he kept saying I have such a pretty name, asking me how i am what times do I work or when am I off and as I finished ringing him up im 100% sure he called me “mami”. So disgusting. He comes almost everyday and im always so uncomfortable, I try to avoid him. All my coworkers seem to think hes a chill/cool guy 🤷‍♀️
ladysingtheblues 3 points 8m ago
Ew. Really helps to have coworkers who recognize creepiness and and are there for backup if needed

I was literally talking about a creepy regular today! He comes in every morning RIGHT at open and he hits on all the young girls. I'm a little too old for him thankfully but when I told him I majored in psychology he asked me why are only 19-20 year old girls interested in him as an old 47 year old man 🤔
Shoddy-Trainer-8051 [OP] 2 points 8m ago
Ew that’s disgusting I’d honestly tell him to stop. The guy from my post came in today as always and I wasn’t paying attention to him again so he started chatting up the partner on bar with me and asked her if she’d be there on the weekend bc if neither one of us girls are there then “what’s the point of coming out here” 🤮🤮 go away bro

I got this creepy lady, which other partner says she might used drugs. Anyway I was at POS and she ask me if I have a girlfriend, I said no and then she ask if I want a girlfriend. She's like in her 40s.

just eww...
