It's now bad manners for a man to mind his own business?

[narwhalParticipant]

@bob. Ignoring someone isn’t offensive. I wouldn’t even say her response was offensive, just rude.

@KM, I don’t like being told to smile. I’m not talking about when pictures are taken, greeting people, or something like that, but when people assume I’m depressed or something because I don’t walk around with a permanent smile on my face. I am aware that it does have an impact on a person’s impression of me, but it isn’t there place to point it out.

Once at a bar, I noticed a particular waitress always seemed to be smiling. I decided to watch her walk around the floor and realized that she only actually smiled when she passed by one of her tables. It was completely fake, and rather funny. She had nice t~~~ too (in a tight t-shirt), so it’s not like anybody was looking at her face anyway.

Ok. Then do it.

I would have asked to speak to the manager and then explained to him why I am now leaving my s~~~ here going to another store to buy my stuff.

See the rude bitch get out of that one!

@home school’d, You’re likely shopping in a crime riddled area, some of the places I’ve been have bullet proof glass between the customer and the merchandise. When I lived in the city the package store around the corner from my fathers shop had fencing between the customers and the liquor, every guy that worked there had a sidearm and a shotgun under the shelf.

With feminism’s fatherless child and the sense of entitlement they instill in these generations, has developed attitudes that entitle them to take that which they did not earn. It becomes it’s own carousel of endless stealing and be stolen.

I’m almost always polite when dealing with people such as cashiers. Just so I won’t draw attention to myself.

This is one of the best things you can do while dealing with people if you want to ghost it and be left the f~~~ alone.

Dude I hate that too. My previous example was talking about family photos. But when you’re going about your business and some bitch say “SMILE!!!” or “WHATS WRONG?? ARE YOU OK??” I wanna smack the s~~~ out of her.

But because I’m the better man, I smack the s~~~ out of her another way.

“ARE YOU OKAY????? SMILE!!”

“Give me something to smile about. Kneel down and take out your t~~~ or something. Bend over and touch the f~~~ing floor. Why not eat an apple and s~~~ a goddam fruit salad. That would make me smile. Be creative and let me know when you’re ready. I’m busy.”.

“you don’t have to be such a jerk”

“ARE YOU OKAY????? SMILE!!”

The biggest reason I stopped going to the malls was when I was harassed for carrying an open 6in knife on my belt, it was after some stabbings occurred in the area. I told the security there’s nothing different than having a knife or walking up to the cutlery department and buying a meat cleaver, or stake knife, I REFUSED to move from that spot until a genuine police officer came to arrest me for whatever alleged crimes I committed, I knew my rights and the knife could not be concealed, otherwise it’s a crime.
They let us go but followed us throughout the mall.

These little f~~~ers were hiding under cars and cutting peoples achilles tendon and robbing them when they hit the ground.

There’s a reason why cashier jobs are being replaced by robots.

I’ve found this to be true… ironically it is easier to be anonymous in any major metro compared to a smaller town where you have zero privacy.

I know three neighbors by name. That’s enough for me. I would not like the rural south either.

Hi !
Now everybody SMILE!
Hahaha. .just gotta be a dick some times. ..
Seriously, I cut the “hi” part out of the way with the ” what do I owe you ” and it works fine. .also the 2 second stare before speaking really cuts a potential conversation right off.

That’s happened to me before too! I f~~~ing hate that.

I handle that by telling them to arrest me. “You need a REASON to stop me like seeing me do something suspicious on camera or watching me take something and put it my pocket. Did you see any of that s~~~? ”

“Well… no…but…”.

“Then get your f~~~ing c~~~ out of my sight”.

Solved.

That’s called “being the better man” too.

They treat you like a criminal just to f~~~ with you and intimidate. That person will be sorry. You treat them like a piece of s~~~ and feel good about it. A security guy in a bad mood who thought he had some power asked to see my receipt as I was leaving Best Buy. I just laughed at him and kept walking. He didn’t do s~~~.

I had something like that happen to me at a Future Shop. Was with a group of students from college on break. They had messenger bags and I had a backpack, we had laptops and textbooks and light hardware on us, because there wasn’t anywhere to safely store them.

Well this one store worker was starring daggers at us and particularly me. No one confronted us, but I decided never to visit that store ever again, because there’s no reason to put up with that kind of crap, ever.

Let us browse and shop in peace.

That’s basically what the cashier did to me! She actually repeated it. I still said nothing and she was really p~~~ed off by that.

No matter how much you’d like to be “invisible”, not saying “hi” is a form of communication (although non-verbal) just as much as saying it is. It can mean that you are upset or dissatisfied with their service; it can also be a sign that you are confrontational; or it could be something minor, for instance, as you said, that you are absent minded, deaf etc. But since in most cases it is an expression of some negative, it makes people around you tense and possibly upset. These people are payed to service you, so they pay attention to these details; it’s their job and you cannot blame them for it.

I agree that she’s not supposed to lecture you.

I also think that you shouldn’t take the terms “invisible” and “ghost” literally. They are metaphors.

They are told to make small talk with the clients to make the store seem friendly.

For me I don’t look into people’s eyes I’m to shy I always have my head down . Plus I’m schizophrenic I don’t talk much .

[KillmandrillParticipant 497]

I would´ve said at least “Hi” too, woman or man, cashiers are still human beings and have a monotone thankless task, and they´re about to be replaced by robots < maybe that´s the reason she replied so rudely?

I would have told her to f~~~ off,but then again she may get wet between the legs from saying that so disregard my comment.

While that cashier is both a poor employee and an incomplete human being, you sadly lowered yourself to her level by giving her free rent in your head.

As much as many of us here would love to be a ghost or hermit making our way through the world unnoticed, the fact is that we’re fish swimming through a sea filled with other fish.

If you want to be left alone, unnoticed, and unremarked, insisting on silence in your day to day dealings with other people is the worst possible way to achieve your wish. That’s because your behavior makes you stand out.

Oddly enough, if you want to be left alone, unnoticed and unremarked, you need to blend in. You need to become a bland nonentity. You need to become the man no one notices because he never draws notice to himself.

When you refused to reply “Hi” to that cashier’s greeting, your behavior brought about the very attention you claim you want to avoid.

I’ve written this advice many times here; you want to present yourself as “Polite, terse, and dismissive”.

The cashier says “Hi” and you say “Hi”. She says “How about this weather?” and you say “Yes”.

And then she leaves you alone just as you want her to do.

Stop drawing attention to yourself and your wish might come true.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

This is one of the MANY reasons I no longer shop in physical stores. It’s become a real pain in the ass. What should be a 5 minute grab and dash turns into an hour of pain and misery as you dodge land whales, deal with stupid people (employees and other shoppers), wait in endless lines, and leave with only 1/2 of the stuff you needed because it was “out of stock.” I should have stayed at home in my underwear and ordered it online. Less hassle, less money, and a much more pleasant experience.

[BadgerParticipant 2277]

My take on this interaction.
Cashier: Hi.
bob: (silence)
Cashier: Goddamn it! Can’t you see I am a WOMAN and when a woman says “hi” to you, you must respond. Don’t you understand that women make the rules for male behavior?
bob: Hmmm. You are disturbed and demand that I must respond to your “hi?” That sounds like female MUSTurbation to me. So, anyway, no, I haven’t had any weed today and I am not high but right now I wish I were.
= = = =
Verdict: Another case of Female Musturbation (FM).
I don’t suppose any of you have ever run into that! Ha, ha, ha!
