work-related rant

i started getting full hours again and with the raises we got this month it really works out bc next semester i wont be able to work as much with going back to school (since the class im taking this semester is fully online) and even tho im more tired from having to work so much im glad to have the money

but now thanks to this fuckin weirdass creepy man i have so much anxiety going to work now. the first time it happened months ago when he would randomly say hi to me and i was like wtf cuz i definitely dont know him but kinda ignored it, and then it happened again like a few weeks/months after that but i was busy doing my job so i didnt acknowledge him.... and then last week i was going down an aisle picking out items and i didnt see who it was and thought it was a regular customer trying to pass thru, but no its that fucking creep who deliberately followed me down and wouldnt leave me alone until i said hi to him? but then like the next day, he was fucking there again and i was going to take my cart back to the curbside area, but he literally blocked me off saying hi over and over until i had to fucking interact with him and i’m getting SO fucking sick of it. i was off yesterday so i didnt have to worry about it, but all today i was anxious going thru the store doing my job, and when i thought i was in the clear his stupid annoying ass was there AGAIN going out of his way to make sure i noticed him like-

leave me the fuck alone you piece of shit? i dont fucking know you i dont give a rat’s ass if ur a “customer” quit being a goddamn creep!!! and he’s got to be in his like 50s and im not a teenager but i still look pretty young (i dont mean that in a braggy way, ppl still mistake me for high school age so the fact that he keeps trying to talk to me is.....really gross) im so fucking sick of it and im so sick of being anxious the entire time im at work now thinking im gonna have to see that freak, and since he’s been there practically every day the past couple of days i’ve been there it just completely fucking kills my mood and makes me feel sick that this stupid annoying asshole is making it a mission to harass me?

ive been “polite” to him bc obviously if i try to ignore him he pursues me and im afraid he’s gonna...get even more persistent or even aggressive, but of course i fucking hate feeling like i “have” to be nice out of fear when he makes me SUPER uncomfortable and is forcing me at this point to acknowledge him. it was really annoying at best when it happened like....once every couple of months, but he’s literally been there consistently the last couple of days i’ve been at work and i’m so fucking sick of it. something happened where one of my younger female co-workers quit a while back because of a creepy dude working in another department, and the store leaders claimed they “couldnt do anything about it” so she left, so i’m afraid they’re gonna basically tell me the same thing? especially because i need this job right now... i’m going to talk to my manager about it when im back to work on monday and hopefully they can like...ban him from the store or something, and i guess if all else fails i can maybe look into transferring....but i like working here bc some good friends i’ve made are here and i hate that i would have to be the one to leave because some annoying man HAS to be an entitled creep.

i also dont want to have to be stuck inside the curbside box retrieving if they think the best course of action is to stop me from doing the part of my job i like to do....because i prefer shopping way more, but that requires me to be in the store and therefore susceptible to having to see the creep. also, apparently a guy who’s, like, nice enough but kinda annoys me is apparently interested in me...and another guy who i thought was just being friendly made me uncomfortable when he, completely out of the blue and not subtle at all, was in my business about whether i had a boyfriend/was single, and i’m getting to the point where i want to swear off men completely? like, yeah i can still feel attraction to men, but there’s just been way too many instances lately where men just creep me the fuck out or make me uncomfortable, and now dealing with this fucking stalker, i just keep thinking “i fucking hate men” over and over again.... (and yeah of course not all men etc. but i’m so fucking tired of this shit right now)

i really really hope they can do something about the guy, i’m getting close to the point where the next time i see him i’m literally gonna snap and tell him to piss off and leave me the fuck alone

also..... idk if it’s paranoia or bc as soon as i realize it’s him i try to ignore him entirely and dont pay enough attention, but i feel like the last times he’s been here his cart has always been empty.... like he’s just pushing it around to make it “look” like he’s shopping...
