Re: Pet Peeves

Have you considered that some of them might just be painfully shy and/or on the spectrum? I've seen my husband react to cashiers that way, and it's so cringeworthy. But if you knew the extreme anxiety it was causing him, having to interact with a stranger, you'd understand it's not you at all.

I have social anxiety myself and I know it's hard. It also makes me feel helpless. Asking questions and not getting an answer. It's not a nice feeling at all. It can also be very embarassing when there is a line and people look at me with pity, asking the same question twice cause hey, maybe they didn't hear me.
Believe me, I do differentiate between people who are clearly having a bad day/are shy and people who just... can't be bothered. Or only pipe up when they think the price for an item is wrong.

I live in a very small town, so I have lots of regular customers, so I know most of these people.

Same. Some days are harder than others and I have a hard time making eye contact, but on the other hand it makes me mad. Like, I have to talk to 40 people today but you can’t even say hi back?!
And I know some people have worse anxiety. But I still have feelings about it, man.

that's when you seriously need to get some therapy, because saying a few words to a cashier should not be causing you that much anxiety, and i say this as a person with anxiety.
