Do you like it when customers flirt with you at work?

Question

I hate it when guys flirt with me at work. When they approach me on the street or at the club, it's much easier to ignore them or tell them to fuck off. I hate that I have to entertain guys at work who hit on me while I'm trying to do my job

I've only worked in a job with general-public contact once, and even there it was a pretty limited part of the job, so my POV is primarily from the customer side: Personally I don't like flirting with clerks or people in food service because I know that being nice and friendly is part of their job and I don't want to assume they're into me just because of that behavior.

Now if it was a place where I was a regular and I got to know them personally then it might be different.

To a point I enjoyed it as a lifeguard and as a firefighter. In sales it was always a huge win because it was an easy way to build rapport as long as you didn't cross any lines, you had to play a bit coy most of the time. I flirt with everybody though apparently so maybe I'm not the best person to ask :P

I hate it. Usually I am a cashier or standing behind a desk so I can't get away from it. One guy literally grabbed my arm from behind the desk and started caressing it. I kept my cool but eventually quit the job.

Maybe you can try mentioning your husband, twice per sentence. If that doesn't work, maybe mention that he's a mixed martial arts instructor. Some people really fucking dense.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

If they aren't creepy or disrespectful then yes. I used to work at pizza hut and one of my co-workers would offer me rides home after work which I accepted at first but within hours he began to make sexual comments and talk about how "friendly" I was so I stopped accepting rides from him. I once had a waiter at a restaurant let me leave the restaurant without paying by cancelling my order after I enjoyed a lovely meal and drink. My friend thinks he might have been interested in dating me or sleeping with me but I think he just wanted to do a good deed for somebody that day. In that case - even if sex was on his mind - I would have considered flirtation from him to be an act of kindness and I would feel flattered.

Depends. If it is a retail environment, I wouldn't mind, but if it was a professional environment, no.

btbc92 · Answer

No. I find it very disturbing and it makes me really wary to know people have no common sense or respect for your job. I'm not talkin about other people but I'm speaking about from my experiences. I am there to work now to be fooling around. And at the same time I would not want to lose my job on account with another person. A lot of times they always led me into some compromising positions. 1 almost could have got me raped or killed. Scratch that. 2x in one work place.

yasii · Answer

It's usually stressfull at my job and I've got 100 other things to do beside chatting with customers. And since alkohol is served, the flirt attempts are often bordering on sexual harrassment. But if someone was actually nice and charming I'd give him my number

GFNimbuscloud · Answer

I used to sell shoes. A lot of the time, I'd have to go back and find what they were looking for in a different size. A handful underestimated how thin the walls were, and I heard all sorts of things, about how deep my voice was, how sexy I looked, how I must have girls all over me.

It's not really flirting, but it's the closet I've experienced on the job. It typically made me feel equal parts flattered and uncomfortable. I feel like actually making a move while I was working would be unprofessional as hell, and being sized up by strangers like a piece of meat isn't as fun as I might've thought... but it was kind of nice to know somebody found me attractive.

Generally I wouldn't flirt with someone on the job, because they still have to be nice to me, even if they aren't interested, and it just puts them in an awkward position.

Kaazsz · Answer

I like it, though it can be too much for me. Been working hard on overcoming my crazy social anxiety and shyness. Some girls are really bold and I don’t know what to do with myself. But I’m still happy that girls even flirt with me at all! Or ask for my number! Nothing feels better.

SexyAshh · Answer

Lol NO! I dont give friendly vibes yet people will spark convo and i feel like i let my face do the talking of “fuck off” the whole time.

I dont think guys realize were bitchy because we get tired of getting hit on, being nice just would make it that much worse

scooogy · Answer

I hate it when the girl at the store even seems to flirt with me because I know she has a boyfriend which is not her first "muscular" (steroid for real) one and her cousin is my colleague at work, who can't help but text her every sh*t she claims me to have said, of which I always have to fear that one day that boyfriend will show up at my door.

BlackRoseFairy · Answer

In my workspace we are not allowed to have any kind of relationship with clients. Strict rule... so yeah, it makes it harder to do your job when he does that. Even if you like the person you are not allowed to respond to it and this can suck...

tonicandgin · Answer

Wear a really flashy engagement ring and say you're getting married to another chick

Rose03202018 · Answer

I worked at a liquor store and I had customers come in daily hitting on me. I would consistently tell them I'm married and tell them I don't want any of their advances, and it never stopped so I eventually quit. It's not only annoying but disrespectful. I would even go to lengths to keep my job where I'd wear no makeup and dress as lazy as I could, sweatpants, baggy t-shirts, it didn't matter. I hate that it's something I have to worry about while working.

Anpu23 · Answer

Not if it leads to a sale. I don't mind a little harmless flirting if it puts money in my pocket. When I worked retail it'd happen quite a bit, and yes I would play to it to get more money. But now it'd be pretty annoying in my current position.

Iwant2kno · Answer

Nope! I like to keep a serious and professional look and environment at work. If guys approach at work I just make it clear with my body language and expressions that I’m not interested. 😊

Jooying · Answer

Yea, especially meeting important clients. When they check on me up and down and keep talking in two meaning, I need to smile back in order to not piss them

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Sometimes it's just annoying when a chick reaches over and starts massaging my cock. Even if I like it physically... just too many implications to responding to it in a 'it's okay' sort of fashion. Like my girlfriend wouldn't appreciate this, I could get in trouble with work, and sometimes I wouldn't even want to fuck this chick if I had the all clear... wtf is she doing?

rufurrealz · Answer

ShortCircuit · Answer

I'm never opposed to genuine flirting. Even if I don't find the girl attractive, it's flattering at the very least.

NineBreaker · Answer

No. Occasionally, a patient or someone with them will try to flirt with me, but I politely refuse to reciprocate.

Dav1ss · Answer

Horrible it happened surprisingly often considering his ugly I am but it was so annoying and really intrusive

Dummy327 · Answer

I kinda like it because it helps to pass the time haha. Really depends on the person though. If they are a total loser, it would get old fast

CaptainSmartass · Answer

The public aren't allowed on our site, as there are vans moving about all the time. I don't speak to people on the phone, as that's not my role. I just allocate jobs to the engineers, and process invoices.

I don't know. I generally don't get that kind of attention so I can't say how I'd appreciate it.

I do not flirt. I have never flirted. It is too much hard work for no return. The attitude of the asker is an example of why I could not be bothered giving women a second of attention.
