The barrista in Starbucks just smiled at me and wrote his number on my Americano with soy milk

I am not happy😡 I don't go to Starbucks for that type of thing and now I'll be dead anxious about going in there again. Also he has tattoos😑

@IndigoSavage I'm just saying that's kinda judgemental. Who date of course is entirely your business, but to think all people with tattoos are bad is judging someone by appearance.

@IndigoSavage I'm glad I have nothing to do with your overly sensitive and judgmental family. I gave you the benefit of the doubt at first, now I'm not so sure.

@IndigoSavage Well yeah, tattoos look unprofessional, but your relationships with other people isn’t a [i]business[/i].

Creepy guys will always try to pick up young women. If you ignore him, NEVER call the number, and don't go back there for a few weeks, he should get the message. If not, call and ask to speak to the manager.

aboveaverageaveragejoe · 51-55, M

@4meAndyou She never said he was creepy, and never said he was old. Who the fuck are you judging people?

Happymedium · 51-55, F

Really nothing to be upset over.

Just ignore and don't acknowledge

If you're [i]that uncomfortable[/i] mobile order your drinks and pick up at the drive through

Next time you go in - and you should - make sure to hand him a bill with "not interested" written on it in marker.

IndigoSavage · 22-25, F

@Graylight ha! But I'm not brave enough 😞

Graylight · 51-55, F

@IndigoSavage Me, either. I'd probably just switch to Dunkin'.

But it's a good exercise to not allow yourself to be influenced by others' behavior too much. This guy, though I'm sure he's great, is a guy in a coffee shop - it might be good, safe venue to practice declining men politely. There are 3 1/2 billion men on this planet and almost all of them will hit on you sooner or later. Remember that you hold the cards. 😉

JP1119 · 36-40, M

I agree with what REMsleep said, this is no big deal. If he wants to go out with you, how else is he supposed to approach you? He didn’t do anything wrong. It seems to me that you should be somewhat flattered, but even if you’re not just forget about it and act like nothing happened and he’ll probably more or less forget about it too. If he [i]continues[/i] to ask you or starts unwanted flirting or whatnot, then maybe warn him first but you can tell his manager on him.

Reply on a napkin ‘my number is 000 chance’. Lol

🤦‍♂️ .. You know, you're missing the upside here. If it wasn't lewd and he wasnt 30+ yrs old or truly creepy .. This was basically just reinforcement of how freaking awesome you must be that a random guy would try to get your attention. ;-)

No biggie .. don't make it more than it was and don't lose sleep over it.

SydneyGuy · M

Just ignore it - no need to call him !

@REMsleep I'm 100% sure it's against HR rules and should be reported.

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

@REMsleep [quote]Are we that fragile[/quote] apparently so 🙄 people have no morals or conscience. were in a pandemic and you really want to get someone fired and take away their income source? that is foul

Adstar · 56-60, M

@DeluxedEdition I agree it is despicable to want to see someone fired over such an issue which in reality is not an issue at all..

DrWatson · 70-79, M

If you do not wish to confront him, and if you continue to feel rattled by this, you could write a letter to the store manager.

4meAndyou · F

@DrWatson Unless he IS the store manager...🤣

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@4meAndyou In which case, he still gets the message! 😆

LunarOrbit · 56-60, M

The more times you shoot, the more chances you score. Don’t feel so special...he didn’t just think of it when he saw you walk in.

Adstar · 56-60, M

Woman of SW would you react like IndigoSavage to the same happening if it happen when you where at Starbucks????

I am really curious to see who would react like IndigoSavage..

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

@Adstar no we aren't all "extra"

Adstar · 56-60, M

@DeluxedEdition Thats good.. DeluxedE i will not block you.. 👍

But tattoos 💓

PhilDeep · 51-55, M

I think he could get into trouble if you reported it to management.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

It's an effective technique

IndigoSavage · 22-25, F

I'm annoyed

REMsleep · 41-45, F

He's pretty bold but don't feel annoyed. It is very hard for some guys ( maybe not this guy) to approach women so juat try to be kind and take it as a pretty high compliment.

And you have no reason to feel uncomfortable.
Just smile and be nice. You have no reason to feel uncomfortable.
Good luck

aboveaverageaveragejoe · 51-55, M

Why you could be annoyed that someone might actually like you and has the balls to do something about it? Why not write on a cup "Thank you, but no thank you" and hand it back to him. It's not being nasty or mean, it's showing him you're no interested, there's nothing to feel awkward about. He'll just move on to the next pretty girl. I presume you're both adults and can handle it.

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@aboveaverageaveragejoe

Perhaps you have articulated exactly what was so annoying about this: the sense that he was just moving on to the next pretty girl.

Some women are tired of being treated as a "pretty girl".

Some women are tired of men checking them out and hitting on them so often, to the point that they find it suffocating.

And some women do not appreciate it when men condescendingly tell them how they "should" react to men.
