To all you (men) who think it’s cool to ask people (women) out while they’re at their job: Go f*** yoursevles!
It is my job to provide great customer service. I am paid to be nice to you. Just because I smiled when you walked in the door does not mean I am single, or even looking to find more singles in the area. If it’s your first time in my shop, do you really expect me to behave like an a**h*** and treat you like s***?! NO! Why? Because you know – we all know – CSRs are paid to give good service.
If you really want to ask me out, come back. Get to know me. In real life, I could be an entirely different person than you saw in the ten minutes you were in my shop (spending money because it’s my job to try to get you to spend as much as possible each visit.) —I just want to be left alone

Gosh I wish I had your problems… #singleforlife
Some men are like hounds, sniffing out for any available ‘opening’, so to speak. If you were a talking watermelon with a hole punched in the side, they’d do the same thing. Sounds like you’re much too sensitive to be exposed to such creatures.
Well I was going to ask you out but not with an attitude like that. Sheesh!
Once again…… Go smoke a fatty BEEITCH
Just be polite and decline. Its that easy. Yes it sucks when you’re cornered like that but just stay professional and neutral and it will be over before you know it.
I totally agree with you. I have a lot of brown that come into my work on a daily basis and just because i’m nice and have manners, they automatically assume I want them, why are men such perverts?
I asked a girl out at her retail workplace. Now we’re married. That being said, this wasn’t on the first time I met her. I went back numerous times, and when she remembered details from our previous conversations I knew it was worth a try. Glad I did ask.
