Backstory: I walked into the drugstore barefaced, hair in a bun, wearing birkenstock sandals, black running leggings, & black graphic t-shirt with joker on it. I went in to purchace some eyebrow pencils- (I have pretty thick eyebrows already, but as the perfectionist I am, I must shape them so that they're EXACTLY even. Kind of like how Death The Kid is obsessed with symmetry, I too get triggerd when things aren't perfectly symmetrical. I used to use eyeshadow to shape them, but I hate how scruffy the lines come out & clean up w makeup wipes I have to do, due to fall out. So, I wanted to test if pencils would come out looking better.)
Context: Anways, as I stand infront of the register while the cashier rings up my items, he lifts up one of the pencils then looks at me... then the pensils... and then me again.. 😐 And our conversation went like this:
Cashier- Is this for you? Me- Yes Cashier- Can I be honest with you- Me- uh.. sure? Cashier- Makeup is made for a specific type of woman. [continues anti-makup rant] natural always trumps it Me- It's just for fun Cashier- In todays society nothing is done for fun Me- *awkward smile* ... ok
(My dad was with me aswell) As we leave the establishment my dad says that cashier was "hitting" on me bc he thought I was "beautiful." (A toxic lie dads always tell their daughters)🤦🏽♀️ Nevertheless, I've never been more confused in my life by a conversation. I don't know & idc if he was trying to flirt bc It sounded more a lot more like patranizing & scolding than it did flirting. Sounded more like a: 'you're too ugly/it's deception' or a 'your eyebrows are too big' kind of speach. All I know is that as a cashier, don't lecture costumers about what THEY buy with THEIR money. Just ring up our shit & shut up.
But do any of you understand his point he was trying to make? I wish I could remember the rest of his one-sided rant.
he was just being a very pedantic and pretentious insecure guy...
one of those that like to control everything that a woman "should do or not do" to make them look good as man, which is something very common from immature guys and men that like to just throw blanket statements to generalize about women and then call them all " that kind of women"
this is no flirting... this is indeed what you said a patronizing lecture he could just not control himself and let it out
Should've seen me after I knoticed one earing hole is lower than the other & not perfectly symmetrical like all pairs should be. I'm still mad about it 😂
Honestly, why does it matter what he meant? Just say "thanks dude". I can't wrap my head why most girls care about what some stranger thinks. Fuck him. Bye.
If I'm gonna be honest, I don't care what anybody thinks of me. I just hate when random people try to tell you how to live your life. Reminds me of my asshole brother
I'm not 100% but I feel like he feels he's being a mr know it all when it comes to make up, and probably assumes that you look better without it, hence the rant, it's your body, you do what you like with it, though that's just my guess based off the conversation, could be wrong. /shrugs
The cashier was trying to convey that you have natural beauty and don’t need to be fucking it up with make up. Think Brooke Shields she was a natural beauty from age 12 on, didn’t use makeup.
