I typically shop at night. I enjoy how quite and calm it is. This is contrary to my personality because I do like social interaction and talking. In fact, quite a bit. I'm a very nice person and quite socially concious, so I wasn't being a jerk here.
I was getting 6 pack of Sweetwater Beer, and this employee asked me if I needed help. I gave him the standard "no thanks, I've got it" answer. He comes over to my buggy and starts hovering around. 2-3 minutes of random meaningless talk go by. I humor him because I'm a nice guy. I do the standard brush off tactics at this point. Nice meeting you, have to go, in a hurry, have to get home, etc. He just acts like I don't even say anything.
Now, as I said I'm a total social animal, but even I don't go to the grocery store at 11pm to talk. He kept on for another 5-6 minutes. He refused to give me an out, and proceeded to teach me the basics of stocking, truck loading/unloading, and why he has such a hard time scheduling workers. He goes into how this is a weekend store and all these details of his life and this store.
Finally, I've had enough and I pretty much just say I've gotta go. I stick my head in the biscuits and he walks away. What the fvck?
Freakshow.
