I second that. I avoid the local Taco Bell on the lunch-5 shift because the drive-through lady would flirt with me and expect me to randomly chit chat with her, thereby making me nervous for wasting people’s time in back of me, plus making me try to come up with an informative, cheery blurb about how I am doing in less than 30 seconds.
Now for those who say she may just be friendly.
When a cashier looks you in the eye all the time, she may be flirting.
When she asks you how you are and actually wants to know, she may be flirting.
When she cusps your hands for a tad longer than normal when giving change, she may be flirting.
When she smiles sweetly at you, she may be flirting.
When she does all of these, she is flirting.
On behalf of those waiting in line behind you, thank you for not flirting back. The chick at the Starbucks drive thru by my office pisses me right off wasting precious minutes flirting with people in line. Seriously, you work in a drive thru. An espresso drive-thru. You see that line of cars waiting? They’re likely going to be irritated at having to wait while you lean on your arms out the window, chit-chat and joke around with every guy under 30 in your line. This isn’t a bar, it’s an f’n drive-thru line. Knock it off.
Amazingly, being a 32 year old female, I’m at the window no longer than 30 seconds every time I go through that line, once I finally get up to the window, as opposed to every male in line ahead of me. Curious, that.
Have you asked her straight out if she Knows The Abyss? Maybe the bubbliness is a cover for the dark savage depression that pervades her being and you two are actually simpatico.
Since you are a self-described misanthrope and acerbic jackass, why not just tell her straight what you told us? You don’t care about her feelings, right? I guarantee the flirting would stop.
The dude doesn’t want to get flirted with while he tries to do his business at this shop - I can get behind this rant. I don’t get flirted with much (and if I do, I’m not aware of it), but if someone I wasn’t interested in kept flirting with me and wasting my time, I wouldn’t like it, either.
How many of you would be thinking it was creepy if the genders were changed?
