"You should be grateful!!" The unnecessary attention that being "attractive" brings me makes me want to die every single day

like, yes, I guess I'm flattered. But I'm also a human person and not eye candy. I have a bf who I'm just fine getting compliments from but if one more old ass man says some creepy ass shit, I don't know, it's just... not what I want to hear at work.

Honestly this was part of the reason I refuse to take a customer service job. Like I don’t even think I’m pretty, I’d say I’m average, and I still feel like a piece of meat. I have noticed, for me anyway, it’s mostly older men. Tho I do think some might just be pedophiles bc customers kept thinking I was a high schooler (I am not)

This is me at my job because why do middle aged men stare me down, stop me in the middle of doing something, lean over the register into my personal space just to tell me how attractive I am directly in front of their wives and daughters?? I work in a mall and the registers are right in front of the glass. Omg, the amount of men who sit on the bench and just watch me through the glass makes me feel like a zoo animal. Does not help that I’m a black woman in a mostly white rural area 🥲

This is terrible but unfortunately it’s just how it is in the customer service industry but if you feel like someone’s being inappropriate you should always tell a manager
