Girls, As a female cashier, a male customer likes you. Not 'loves' you, 'likes' you. What do you have to say?

As a female cashier, a male customer likes you. Not 'loves' you, 'likes' you. He does not want to get you in trouble at work, nor does he want to put you on the spot. So to prevent that headache, he leaves you a letter, expressing how he feels and includes his number, kindly asking that you read this when he leaves so. He leaves you this note not to get romantic, but just wants to get to know you if you are genuinely interested, as his time is quite valuable to him. And a male customer reaching out to a female cashier is quite risky, a risk I personally would not take if I wasn't interested in her, lol. Would you read the letter that he left you? If so, how would you respond?

I would definitely not read the letter because I am very well aware what the final aim, the ultimate goal of that person is when he writes his letter.

I would return his letter the second he hands it over to me because I am not interested in getting involved in any kind of relation. I would of course put up my defensive wall instantly because this type of behavior from the side of a customer is indicative that he may be stalking me when I end my shift.

That is also why I always carry my pepper spray with me, just in case. I would be alarmed that the man would wait somewhere when I leave the building. In that case, I would take a taxi and ask the driver to leave me in a very well lit area where I can observe if I am being followed.

Basically, when he comes to your register, you're not looking for him or anybody, correct?

[SueShe]

That is correct. If I was a cashier, I would act professionally but not allow at all any attempts to get personal. This is something that is not happening.

[Asker]

That I can understand.

[SueShe]

Thanks for the MHO

[Asker]

No problem.

[Agape93]

Nothing because I'm not interested

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I would be creeped out and probably politely decline.

[Asker]

Are you afraid he might be up to something perverted or something?

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Well, yes…

[Asker]

Basically you have a policy against fraternizing with anyone you give service to, especially men. Correct?

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Yeah… It’s just not appropriate in my opinion.

[Asker]

Got you.

[Cherry234]

It depends. If he's cute and I'm interested in him then I would contact him. I would go out with him if he asked me out and I'd make sure to be really discreet about it. If I have no interest in him at all then I'd just ignore the letter.

[Asker]

Sounds brave.

[PrettyPriya]

Honestly, I'd probably be a little creeped out. It would feel like someone was stalking me. I get he doesn't want to get me in trouble, but if I don't recognize him from all the other customer's, I'd be a little weirded out.

[Asker]

I see.
