So I work in the dairy section of a big grocery store. One day on my lunch break, I grabbed food from the hot bar and went to checkout. There was this older lady in front of me finishing up, so I waited by the card reader and I put my food box on the conveyor belt, not even moving just looking at my phone.

Suddenly I look up and this lady is a barely a foot in front of me and close to my face, grinning hard and saying, “Do I know you?” Then she says I was “too close to her” even though she literally walked toward me from the other side. I was confused, but I didn’t argue, I just went ahead and stepped back. Even the cashier lady was like “you didn’t even move, she came over to you.”

Told a coworker in the maintenance section later and he said “she probably liked you.” But all I could think was…. if an older man did that to a young woman my age (20), it wouldn’t be brushed off like this.

Anyway just weird, Retail stays wild 😅
