Cash, Credit, Or Creep?

Grocery Store, Harassment, Strangers, USA | Romantic | May 14, 2018


(I’m a new cashier and female. It’s a pretty slow day. This customer looks to be in his early 30s and his items are wine and a box of condoms. He winks at me and I catch a whiff of his cologne.)

Customer #1 : “We could use these together if you want, kitten.”

Me: “Sir, the only thing cheaper than that line is your cologne. Also, I’m 16, and you’re holding up the line. Your total is [total]. Cash or credit?”

(He sheepishly pays and leaves. [Customer #2 ] lets out a small chuckle.)

Customer #2 : “That’s one way to ward off creeps.”

Me: “I’m just doing what my mom taught me.”
