feel socially awkward while interacting as a customer. @ the grocery store. asking someone to unlock the litterbox, cashier, what the flying f**k ever, s**t. library, printer not working. whatever.

asperger's

social anxiety disorder

asking strangers for directions or asking questions, or answering questions

otherwise sometimes strangers make fun of the way i walk and talk and s**t

strangers laugh @ me b/c i am afraid of dogs or whatever


when i'm @ work, "customer always right".

when i am a customer, "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"

my worthless corpse constantly inferior, s**t!

When it comes to costumer service, there is a saying that "People respond in kind," depending on the situation which usually works both ways. Meanwhile, there is another general rule of thumb that the customer always comes first. Now when it comes to refusal of service, it really depends on the situation. For instance, let's say the customer comes in and acts like a Karen from start to finish. Better yet, there are some things that customer service absolutely cannot do.

Hi honey
I work at a store and have to deal with so many customers and have social anxiety and Asperger’s both undiagnosed.
I like customers who might be autistic so don’t worry not everyone at a store is going to think you are acting funny. I want to make different seeming people feel comfortable.

the artisan bread was behind the counter in the "employee only" section. i wanted one, and i considered asking the woman behind the counter, but i felt too Autistic and Social Anxiety Disorder to do it. ended up just getting bakery bread with cheddar and jalepinos. (maybe the woman behind the counter was busy, or the bread was cooling down, or what the flying f**k ever.)

the cashier had the nerve to say "huh" to me. (some ass holes do not have "excuse me" in their vocab. they are doing their "best". some of them having sex with the boss.) (rolls eyes). f**k those idiots!
