I need some help navigating this situation! I have lived in the same place for many years and frequented a grocery store that is just a few blocks from my home. About a year ago, one of the grocery store workers cashiers became really chummy with me. He was always very nice to me and would go above and beyond to converse with me.
About 6 months ago I started to avoid him because I’m not always in the mood to have a whole discussion after I get off work. Also, I would catch him looking at me as I was in different parts of the store from the register. I started to feel uncomfortable. Maybe this was the point in time that I should have said something to him or to management but I didn’t want to make anyone’s life more difficult. Instead I started asking my husband to go with me, or just went to a different store. The times my husband has been with me, he’s not as intense with the staring or conversation but I still don’t like it.
The last time I went in, I did go alone and I was buying some beer. He asked me what my name was, and I told him my first name but I showed him my ID because I was buying alcohol. This happened probably a month ago and I haven’t been back since. This morning he had added me on Facebook!! We have no friends in common.
Please help. What do I do? I don’t want to talk to management necessarily and I don’t want anything to escalate. He’s not really intimidating and he hasn’t threatened me but this feels weird.
