Late night store Clerks, what is the strangest things that's happened on the job?

When I was 18/19, I worked the late shift at a grocery store. I had more than my share of weird encounters.. Or sexual harassment..

  • One guy that we all nicknamed "Soupy Sales" came through my lane one night. As I was ringing up his items he asked me, "when I came in here the other night, you had your hair in braids, right?" I awkward answered that I did. He smiled at me and tells me I should wear my hair like that more often because I looks good on me.

  • On Valentine's Day, one of our lottery ticket frequent flyers decided to tell me he would very much enjoy spending the holiday with me. I ignored his advances and when I got off work I saw he was still hanging around the store but didn't think anything of it since many of our customers did just that. As I walked out the door I realized he was hot on my heels so I loudly proclaimed for him to leave me alone and I walked right back in the store. From that night on, the night crew manager made sure someone would walk me to my car every night.

  • This one guy told me he'd love to tear my ass up and he kept asking me when I got off work. I refused to tell him and he said he'd just wait around. Luckily I didn't have my car that day and my dad picked me up.

  • One of our regulars tried to get me to come over to his apartment. He was an older gentleman.. Like old enough to be my grandfather. He was always friendly and in a good mood, so I was always friendly back. Well, I think he might've mistook my friendliness for flirting because one night, as I was ringing him up, he casually asked if I would like to come over to his apartment to play with his RC cars and you helicopters. I laughed, thinking he was joking, and he was staring at me.. Intensely. I politely declined. He never came through my lane again.

  • Downtown Debbie was a transvestite that would come in almost every night I worked. She was a pleasant customer to deal with.

  • Crazy lady was a middle aged woman who would push around a toy baby stroller with a baby doll in it and loudly talk to herself while she shopped. My mom saw her one time wearing a crop top with no bra and her tits were hanging out. She got made at me one time because her ink card was out of money and she accused me of stealing her money. Her reasoning was I was fat, so I must've eaten her food!
