I've been working as a letter carrier for a little less than a month and I was wondering if other letter carriers had to deal with this.
I was training, delivering the mail, and some guy came up to me. Well, he followed down the route for two blocks to, I assumed, give me a bottle of water. After he gave it to me, he asked me if I had a boyfriend and I was like, "That's very unprofessional, sir. Hahaha, I'm not going to answer that." Then he asked me if I wanted to be his sugar baby. Like, what?

And here I thought working in retail was bad 😂, that's nuts. This whole interaction makes me secondhand uncomfortable. Seriously so creepy. I would start carrying mace if I was you.

Hahaha! I do carry mace! Hahaha! It was so weird

That's pretty weird. When I worked with the public a lot I'd get asked out. But I never got the sugar baby invitation. Had someone said that to me I don't know whether I would have felt scared or just burst out laughing.

I did burst out laughing and had to check if he was being serious. He was. I had to explain to him that I was not interested and I did have to be polite as I was concerned he might do something due to rejection.

Whoa, that’s really inappropriate. Glad you handled it the way you did—definitely not the kind of interaction anyone should have on the job.

I did tell my trainer and she said she wouldn't let me do that route again for my safety.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
