Working in the customer service and retail business is so rewarding at times, you can make a person’s day just by asking how they are. I am an indefinite morning person, and I am the type to remember small miniscule details that you might mention in passing and relay them again whether or not it’s a birthday, kittens passing away, visiting your long distance significant other. The only time it’s not rewarding is when someone male, or female decides that my body, behavior, and overall demeanor is what they decide to make it. When someone decides that respecting my space, and body isn’t that big a deal, yes I serve, but no I don’t owe you any special services that aren’t paid for and legal. Keep in mind as men especially don’t do what you wouldn’t want done to your girlfriend, sister, mother, or daughter.

1. Me asking how I can help is directly related to my receiving wages, not you being undeniably sexy.
2. No, do not assume even if you are minutely “attractive” I must by default be flirting with you.
3. Giving me a tip is NOT AN INVITATION TO FLIRT.
4. I have a name tag, don’t call me “baby”, “sweetheart”, or “sugar”.
5. Yes, I see you have a nice car, no I don’t want a ride with you in it.
6. Do not ask about me if I have a boyfriend
7. Don’t ask for my number, when you are old enough to be my dad (even my grandfather).
8. Do not mean mug me if I refuse your overtures.
9. Do not tip me with the hopes of receiving a number, or “spin”.
10. Do not ask me how old I am, honestly I look like I could still be in high school so bye.
11. Understand I am smiling because I am trying to give you could customer service.
12. What clothes I’m wearing do not invite your commentary.
13. Do not comment on my lack of makeup, or my wearing “too much”makeup.
14. I have the right to flirt at my own discretion, and whether or not I choose to with you is not an actual complaint.
15. Complaining to my supervisor I wasn’t “nice enough” is a bs to prove your power over me and you know it too.
16. Although the saying goes, “The customer is always right”, I’m sorry to break it to you you’re not always right.
17. No winking doesn’t get you a special discount.
18. leaning over the counter, table, rack of clothing, or in general doesn’t get you a special discount.
19. In reference to #18, neither does flexing.
20. And lastly, you tipping me in no way means I owe you anything.
