That’s good advice. I don’t particularly enjoy praise either, even if I know it’s genuine.
Kind words, thank you. There’s a big shakeup in management coming soon so if it’s still going on when that happens I’ll find a resolution to it. It’ll be easier to get a change during a churn, I think.
Again, thanks
It did help, you provided a positive example of doing the “normal” thing and just speaking up. For whatever reason, that just didn’t occur as viable to me, but I’ll be sure to let that bounce around with all the other ideas until something clicks.
Thank you
That really does mean a lot. I would have been fine with people telling me to suck it up or to inquire further to see if it’s real or perceived , but you came in swinging with genuine attempts to help.
This is why we aim center of mass folks
The fact you are trying to give advice is worth something by itself, I would never say a person trying to help should stop because they aren’t good at it. The emotion behind trying is alone helpful in and of itself.
They’d probably just say something like “of course I meant, you do such a good job” and it would pile. Or maybe I’m dooming.
That’s the thing, I’m ND. I’ve been bullied in various forms my entire life and the only “benefit” is I’m good at repressing. I may be over sharing and too unfiltered on here, but afk I can wish I could I flay a person and have them think I’m too dumb to understand the way they treat me.
I’m not good at deception tbh, too literal, my only fear is giving away the game and them taking a subtler approach. I want to get this person fired.
I like the idea though, I’ll think on it. Maybe with enough time I can either spin it the way you said in an honest manner or just maybe they’ll get bored
I like men tbh, when they are properly socialized. I sometimes curse my dad never being around when I really needed him, but being raised by my ma and her sister probably made me better the. I would otherwise be.
I’ll definitely ask to not be touched though, but the guys a literal butcher. I doubt he has the empathy to not just an alternative
I have a lifetime of knowing how to endire cruelty, my only hope might be getting them fired by allowing them to escalate.
I live in a single party consent state and might just start a voice memo every time they walk up
I am so very thankful it’s the cashiers job (possibly problematic side note: they basically only hire teenagers for that role, so hopefully this instills the virtue of not fucking up pibloc spaces in them. Conscription bad, but experiencing retail changes a person. They’ll be better people for knowing the consequences of fucking up a place another person has to clean).
Last week somebody shat on BOTH seats within The one I use (the “men’s” room” and side note an asshole that has to work here because it’s every god damn day posses on the floor I. Front of the urinal. My shoes reek now no matter how much I wash them cuz this piece of detritus masquerading as a human pisses on the floor in front of it and nobody can use it without stepping in it)
I’m against punitive punishment that does nothing to fix a person, but fuck kt . Wall for the floor pissers.
Oh so the edge lord philosopher finally moderates himself when it comes to eco justice against those most responsible. Hmmm, curious /s
The guy might even be younger than me. He’s the sort of “either a very healthy 30s or similar in age.
I think what I was trying to get at is it’s obviously fake or contrived. There’s another person who does similar amounts of unnecessary compliments but she’s just a nice person.
Like half the time I buy an energy drink or something she “accidentally” scans it out instead of ringing it up. So unless it’s an elaborate ploy ( I’m not that paranoid), it’s probably just a nice older lady thing.
Thanks for the thought out response and context giving.
