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.

Plus a footrub… is quite something as a first. I mean, what happened to asking someone out for a drink for starters.

Anon went from 0-100. Dudes really need to learn how to slow their roll.
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Agreed. And “would you give your mother a foot-rub” is not a good self-assessment for whether or not it’s an appropriate opener, either.
Anon should know that suggesting physical contact with a total stranger is a red flag, possibly two if we consider it’s about feet.

I gave a girl at her work my number and she messaged me back saying she got a boyfriend but we can hang out.
count_dongulus@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
She was upset he didn’t offer to suck the toes too
son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Of course he got banned, he didn’t offer the manager a foot rub too. What was he thinking?
Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
didn’t offer the manager a foot rub first. Power has perks

Better than the one I worked at. There was a dude that worked there that was harassing one of the cashiers and instead of firing him they moved him out to the tire shop with us. He had 0 experience with cars and wasn’t qualified for that even by Wal-Mart standards. A couple weeks later he got fired for fucking up too many cars but in the mean time we bullied the shit out of him for being a creep and walked him out after we closed to make sure he actually left and didn’t try to wait around for her to get off.
lowered_lifted@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
That’s the shittest department to pawn him off on lol, auto doesn’t even make a profit, it’s a dog to get people in and stuck shopping while they wait. I think they must have done it to get him canned because tech and service writer were super high turnover in my market because you need actual skill to do it right and the job doesn’t pay enough if you do. I personally used to roll on Douglases and get all my oil changes there because of employee discount but only because the auto techs were all attending the nearby technical school and working with a degree of pride guaranteed by their TL who ran a tight ship, I trusted her, women who can thrive in that environment have to both know their shit and be tough lol.

This is giving Asperger’s as fuck. Someone should have told him to just give her his number then walk away.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This all reminded me of the before times when I worked retail. I’d seen this guy who creeped me TF out for years over the course of a few jobs in the same town. His gf was very clearly in highschool and he was probably 30 the 1st time I encountered him. He was a regular at this smoothie shop I worked at, and I tried to avoid dealing with him at all costs. A few years later he’s in the grocery store I work at all the time with the same gf (hey, at least she was definitely 18 by this point).
One day they propositioned one of the cashiers for a threesome. She freaked out and got the guy 86’d from the store. Eventually they compromised to let him back in as long as he didn’t approach any female employees for anything.
Fast forward a few years and I was working a desk job and working on trying to get a promotion to manager. I screwed up one day and overslept and was late. That fuck up took me out of the running and my boss said he was going to look for external hires. Who comes in for an interview but that fucking guy. I pulled my manager aside and told him all the history he had at the grocery store, the underage gf, everything. He thought I was making up an elaborate story because I was mad I wasn’t getting promoted, and went ahead with the hire.
6 months later (after I had quit) he got canned for sexual harassment for trying to kiss the lady working on night shift. (Shocker) Life can be fucking weird sometimes.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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
Sybilvane@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
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.
Shard@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Another great rule of thumb is to assume she’s Canadian and just being polite.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago

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.
JoShmoe@ani.social 4 weeks ago
Poor guy, gotta start somewhere though.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Start by learning, “retail employees have to act friendly and be nice to you. It has nothing to do with their actual feelings.”
It’s good practice for “women often have to act nice to men they don’t like, because they’re afraid of being harmed by them before they can get to safety.”
Kacarott@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Honestly her liking him or just pretending is irrelevant. Start by learning “offering to rub someone’s feet (or any other somewhat intimate touching) is NOT a good way to flirt, even if they do like you!”
slaacaa@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Still, if instead of talking to her multiple timers during her shift and creeping her out with the footrub offe, he could have just asked her for a coffee after work, which she could politely decline. After that, he could leave her alone, and still occasionally shop at the same Walmart.

retail employees have to act friendly and be nice to you
As an European, if a retail employee ever acts friendly or even smiles at me I’m not setting foot in that retail chain ever again.
I don’t want creepy freaks bothering me while I’m trying to shop, I just want to shop and be left alone unless I ask for something (which would also be a red flag, the products should be sufficiently well organised and labelled that asking will never be necessary).
JoShmoe@ani.social 4 weeks ago
As stated, you gotta start somewhere. Nobody is born knowing what to do or how to keep mouse from pissing themselves.

I’m visiting US in 2 weeks… Is Walmart really as dank as I keep hearing?
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
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 any perishable food items you buy will be moldy within 36 hours.

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.
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?
lowered_lifted@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
You dont get it bro it’s called EDLC which drives EDLP, lower prices for everyone /sarcasm
Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Yes dank would be a good descriptor of the smell.
Wanderer@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
It’s got everything. It’s great for that. Way more options than elsewhere.
Its shit quality but if you want a X and want it to last for your two week trip. Walmart is the place to go.
auzy@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Still probably better than temu I’m guessing?
lowered_lifted@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Nah, it used to be back in the days the logo had a smiley face, it was the place for affordable abundance. Ever since I worked there 5 years though I see the whole body of the beast for what it is, and the parts you’re not seeing are super ugly on like every level from produce bags chopped by prisoners in Salinas to sexual harassment of stockers by good ol boy management on the overnight team
