Hi there.
i work at a gas station, i only started here a few weeks ago and so far i enjoy my job. I have had the rude customer come in, but i worked retail prior to working here. So i know all about rude customers, thankfully this isn't the problem i have at hand.
i myself am always getting funky hair colours and crazy cuts, at the moment i have red hair, i know its a eye catcher, but i always dye my hair and my boss and manager are completely fine with it.
it has attracted unwanted attention from 1 guy that visits the gas station almost everyday, a few days ago he saw me leaving work (i bike to work, i like it and its exercise for me) and he came up to me for a chat. He asked how i was, what was my name, my age, every question. I told him my name and my age (26F) and he said “ok, cool well im 45, have a daughter your age and a grandson too” i said “cool” he asked about relationships etc i said “yes, i have a boyfriend, i live with my boyfriend. Im not married to him yet, but we live together and have been for 5 years” i was trying to throw out hints about leaving, but he kept wanting to talk. He did try and smooth talk to me like saying my eyes are what caught him, why am i so shy and innocent, but i dress the way i do, he wants to chat and wants to keep in touch, he was even showing me photos of his daughter and grandson. I didn't want to be rude, but i said “i really have to go” he ended up finding my facebook (due to me wearing a name badge and he knew my name) and has been messaging me on facebook, its all him sending like 10 messages in a row and its very uncomfortable for me. He kept saying that i am beautiful and he wants to take me to his house where he lives alone. What should i do? I obviously dont want to leave the gas station as i just started, should i say something to my manager about switching my hours to when he doesn't come over or possibly make a police report? Im kinda getting bad vibes from him and i have a partner and he doesn't really care

You helped create this problem by talking to him and revealing some personal information. Please don't do that again. Didn't your parents teach you not to talk to strangers?
For now, talk to your manager for assistance and guidance.
Definitely tell your manager and get their assistance
His behavior is obsessive and staking
I will be messaging my manager as soon as i can, i dont want to leave my job, since i just started and i like my job. This guy only knows my name due to my name badge and when im logged into the till at work it displays my name. I did make my relationship very clear. I've gotten messages saying that i need to leave my partner and date a real man, he wants to take me to his house, he said that i am beautiful, that my eyes are what “caught” him in a spell and everything. That his been having issues with women and he wants a woman, then switches and talks about other stuff. This is all at my workplace and i dont know what to do, i just want to go to work and go home and thats it. Yesterday, he came in cause he knew i was working alone and wanted to chat and i was so glad customers kept coming in, so i could focus on serving them and ignoring him. Today i am on with a lady, so i won't be alone. I dont want to feed into his messages and i want to keep ignoring him, until hopefully my manager does something about it or possibly finding out who his boss is and telling them as well
Your manager can probably ban him from the property
My manager is very good and understanding, has he had a delivery guy come in and chat up the other girls and he put a stop to him, so i feel like if i address this to him. He will definitely do something about it, it makes me feel like not going to work and wanting to stay home until he goes away. My mom suggested that i should tell him off, but i feel that will make the situation worse for me
