Hi! My mother has started working again, and she’s started doing part time in イオン supermarket. She usually works for only a few hours from around 8 to closing time for the extra pay. I’m really happy for her, but recently she’s been bringing back creepy stories about her work and it’s really been worrying me.
here are some:
- a weird middle aged man has been coming to the shop and giving her his number
- a weird foreigner keeps coming in and pestering her at work to chat with her, and when my mother tried to go to the employee only room to avoid him, he waited outside for a solid 20 minutes
- a drunk dude came in and started complaining about not being able to pay using pay pay and then asked to shake her hand, and then kissed her hand after (keep in mind he saw the wedding ring)
its really hard for my mother to reject these because she has little experience when it comes to that, and doesn’t know what kind of complaints or things drunk men could do. What really pisses me off is that the area manager makes everyone wear their real names on their name plates so it’s really easy for customers to 特定 someone.
it’s really creeping her out, and tbh i think she should just quit but she really enjoys working with everyone so I can’t push her to do that. Is there any tips for her to follow when encountering weird people like this while working? or any real life advice you have from working as a part timer in a convini or anything? Thanks so much!
edit: there are many similar suggestions so I will answer them here:
talk to the police- we all agreed the police isn’t gonna do anything
quit- my mother really does not want to
talk to manager- didn’t work
everything else, I’ve talked to my mother about it, thank you for your advice!
