Yesterday was not a great day for sales at my location. Now, normally I would not expect a Monday to be great but there was a college fair in here and I had expected that people looking at colleges would also be looking at languages. Not so much.
But I did make a sale.
At 9:26, he walked up and proceeded to tell me what he wanted and how difficult it had been to order it over the phone.
I'm used to that. It doesn't bother me too much to listen to customers complain. In fact, he wasn't really complaining. It was more like he was just relaying information in an energetic yet boring fashion. It wasn't what he was saying that bothered me. It was his actions.
Before he started the story he took my hand and kissed it. Now, that's not something I'm cool with. EVER! The next five minutes were filled with hugs, calling me beautiful and proposing marriage in Portuguese. Ew.
Maybe he was drunk. Maybe he was high. Maybe he is just a creepy guy.
But now I've had to call Human Resources. It really made me uncomfortable and God forbid he comes back, I\'ll have already registered the problem through the proper channels. Mall Security wrote up a report and I even contacted the high school that ran the college fair to verify that creepy was not involved and was therefore a traveling creep.
I will more than likely have to give a physical description at some point. Honestly, my biggest fear is that this will become bigger than it actually is and I'll just end up feeling foolish for doing what the Employee Handbook advises and telling someone that someone else made me feel uncomfortable.
