These mfs keep trying me.

I've remained calm and unbothered by this but there's days I wake up choosing violence. So, one of my jobs requires me to engage with customers at a store setting I don't work for the store I'm just a vendor and they let the company I work for demo products there for sales purposes anyway. I'm starting to get irritated by certain people there there's a guy who works there and he's always telling me that I look unhappy about how unhappy I look he keeps making these comments when he walks by me I always tell him maybe it's because you're talking to me that's why. Then there's customers usually older white boomers who keep telling me to smile you don't look happy. So any advice what I can say to these people so they leave me alone I'm just there to work and I'm tired of people thinking they can tell me something. I usually take it too far and I will just say something straight up mean like how I tell that guy yeah it's because you're talking to me maybe if you weren't talking to me I would be happy. Any advice?

You could say "That's extremely inappropriate to comment on my appearence in my workplace. I don't like it. Please stop." Like a professional. Then say youl escalate to a manager if they argue, its actually harrasment and inappropriate and a bit sexist.

Also it fulfils the very basic requirement of asserting yourself.

You can tell them sarcastically, "Looking happy doesn't come with the job. In the meantime, how many units are you buying?"

I'd tell him to mind his business ngl I've had to do that to a few people because they really lack awareness if you're not direct.

As far as customers go I can't help you there, there's a reason I don't work directly with them and haven't for 6+ years I'd snap at them

Most of the staff are ok I made a friend recently a Pepsi vendor who's ok that's it.

Maybe just look pleasant and smile when you are around people. Try being others-focused and forgetting about yourself.

Smile. Be pleasant to be around.

It’s really not rocket science.
Maybe you laugh and say that they are so funny...

@SomeMichGuy I've gotten away with it I don't think they can ever report me I have a guy who's working there who's been making these comments so it's like I can report him for harassment cuz he won't leave me alone. He looks like one of those trans next time he tells me something I will just tell him okay that's none of your business ma'am
@disturbedchicken lol

How about, "Ma'am, did you realize a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds?"

Idk lol I've never had that problem. Have you ever just said something short and simple like "I'm good" and keep working?

@Soccergirl2016 the one that's trying to mess with me looks like a trans I'm just going to refer to him as a she and ma'am from now on to get to him.
