    I can be a pretty naive guy. I am continually amazed not just by the volume, but by the varieties of creepiness that women have to put up with on a daily basis. WTF, Anon?

        Maybe the employee complained about having to stand for hours upon hours (because Walmart sucks) and idiot anon misread it as an opportunity?

    Oof. There’s fucking up, and then there’s getting banned from Wal-Mart. The only lower position is getting banned from the dollar store.

      In order to be banned from a dollar store, the one employee working there would have to Home Alone the place to keep you out

    Good thing he offered though. That was finally big and explicit enough an offense to allow her to report him and end the smaller, subtler harassment she had to suffer until then for the sake of customer service.

    I can see how someone would make this mistake. On the other hand, it’s not hard to see why this is a bad idea.

    Here’s the situation. Approaching or propositioning anyone while they’re at work is going to come off poorly since they’re backed into a corner. They’re a captive audience, as they must be in that space in order to get paid. In the case of retail, not only are they supposed to be nice to you, but they often can’t physically avoid you lest they get in trouble for poor service. In the end, the already hard job of saying “no” is made much worse by compounding it with proper workplace behavior. And even if they would find your advances interesting in any other setting, it’s the workplace that’s likely to sour things.

    Edit: Anon needs to do this in a setting where everyone can come and go freely, in a place where people deliberately go to be social.

    This is giving Asperger’s as fuck. Someone should have told him to just give her his number then walk away.

    Yeah its hard to tell sometimes if women are playing with you or not. Good rule of thumb is if its been a long time since youve hung out with a girl, give her some extra space and see if she tries to close it with you. If not no loss

      Another good rule of thumb is to assume that if she was working, it was just customer service and she’s not actually into you.

      It’s also a good idea not to hit on people that you only know in the most distant sense.

      Looking at someone in the supermarket does not count as a date.

      Walmart sucks. It’s designed to keep you wandering around and picking up shit you don’t need. You’ll go in for one thing, and leave half an hour later with 14 things you didn’t come in for and don’t need. And also they didn’t have the one thing you needed. And the shit you did buy is junk. And any perishable food items you buy will be moldy within 36 hours. Walmart sucks.

      And they only can provide that useless compulsive junk so cheaply because they bulk order everything and then just change their offering price after the product is manufactured. So the manufacturer can’t just say “No deal” when they already produced massive quantities that they don’t have the logistical means to sell to other buyers. Walmart bleeds everyone dry. Smothers competing business with their price models, ravages towns, fuck Walmart.

        I’m not saying that this isn’t true, but how does that work more than once? Wouldn’t any manufacturer not quit working with them after this happens once? Isn’t agreed price for a bulk order set down on writing before the manufacturing starts?

        Have you got a source for this?
