This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Poor guy, gotta start somewhere though.

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."

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!"

Well he learned that this time lol

Though I gotta say banning him from the store seems excessive

We only have one side of this story, and the source is an anonymous 4chan user, you wanna bet there are some details missing?

[–] jzzvid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Probably a majority of the details.

Well he learned that this time lol

It's 4chan, so, no he didn't

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, that too!

Still, if instead of talking to her multiple timers during her shift and creeping her out with the footrub offer, 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.

Yes, seeing if she's okay with meeting outside the retail context is the test. If not, go no further.

As stated, you gotta start somewhere. Nobody is born knowing what to do or how to keep mouse from pissing themselves.
