It’s so hard to be submissive if they won’t participate?

[Anonymous]

i just brought something from the corner store and asked
for a paper bag and the cashier refused. he says "it's just
that" with an attitude and made big eyes at me.
how i supposed to express femininity or practice
expressing vulnerability when i ask for something as
simple and cheap as a paper bag and i can't get it? this is
why we take on a not in need attitude. because we can't
get!
i smiled, i was friendly, i said please and thank you.
then i'm called passive and "prideful" for not expressing
my needs and "opening up" to others about what i want.
look at my teeny tiny need that couldn't get met.
help pls anytime im feminine and show im in need i get this. men always reject my needs. what’s wrong? what am i missing?

You need to understand that there are places where it's not going to work, no matter what you do. Often, cashiers are on camera, and depending on where you are, there are store policies about things like shopping bags, and the person who doesn't follow the policy may get written up or fired. You might think they have some leeway - and some do - but many do not, and if they don't, they're not going to risk their job just to be nice to you.

Now, if you are doing this with a "civilian" (someone not actually at work, and who has no responsibility to their employer at the moment), or to someone working in a much less "corporate" environment with a lot more leeway, you're likely to be far more successful.

The context ALWAYS matters.

it was not illegal. the paper bags are always given out in delis, especially in brooklyn.

[MrOracle]

I didn't say it was illegal - just maybe against some stupid policy.

You don't have to be submissive to RANDOM men

Be friendly of course.. if the other person whether man or woman is rude just stay away from them

Some people can easily make you regret for being sweet and nice but please don't stop being sweet and nice

Confused by this, I don’t see why you need to,

You just put it back on the counter and say give me a refund.

then walk out,

First of all , being receptive is honoring to men , not being submissive. Submission is used by women trying to sweet talk us guys for your needs and it's offensive and a big ass red flag.
