Do you think this behaviour of these retail workers is very rude or not? What would you do in this situation?

When I go to this supermarket early in the morning say at 8am there is hardly anyone there and the workers stare at me. Not all of them do but a lot of them do. It’s caused me to be distressed

i do not know these people at all and I do not want to know them at all

It isn’t a simple friendly stare with a smile it’s a blatant intense staring at me. It’s been going on for a long time now

I wear tracksuit pants and a hoodie. I dress rather bland

I think it is rude but what do you all think? Is staring at someone in this way rude?
also how would you or how do you handle situations like this?
if you like you can add your opinion why they are staring?

Yes it is rude

No it is not rude

They’ve probably been there since 6am and they’re wondering wtf you’re doing shopping this early. At least, that used to be me when I worked retail. Now I’m bored work from home hermit who only goes out before the normies wake up 🤣

Yeah I know. Good point I’m just not comfortable around people I don’t know that well. I don’t know why lol
