   So I meant to write this yesterday, but I never got around to it, and honestly, didn't want to think about it.

   I'm at the register with about twenty minutes to go, and this guy, this horrible, terrible disgustomer comes in. He's becoming a regular, which p**sses me off because he only orders a frappuccino bottle. Hence, the following conversation...

   Me: So you really don't want to try the frappuccinos we make, huh? They're so good! [y'know, trying to make more moolah for the bux]
   Him: No, no, they're so heavy, you know? Why do you guys make them so heavy?
   Me: Well, you can get them with non-fat milk and-
   Him: That's the problem, you know, why we're all so big here. We eat food that we can't digest and it turns into fat. That's why you're big, you know?
   Me: *flabbergasted*
   Him:

   I don't even remember what he said next. I think I glared at him and walked away. Then, and this is what p**sses me off, when I left work, he was standing outside down the block and I had my headphones in, looking straight ahead, and I didn't acknowledge him when he said, "Done with work already??!"

   So then he says it again, and d@@mn my polite reflex, I yanked my earphones out and said, "WHAT?"
   "Done with work already?!"

   "Yeah." And I kept walking the f**ck away. So I get to the bus stop and the a@$$wipe is FOLLOWING ME. I'm sitting there and he comes up to me. I'm staring straight ahead and have my headphones in, and he tries to get my attention. I ignore him. He says something or other and I pulled out my headphones again, gave him the deathiest death glare I could, and said, "WHAT DO YOU NEED."

   He blinked and backed up a little, then said, "Oh, I'm sorry, my name is..."

   Me: WHAT DO YOU NEED.
   Him: Oh, well, I'm a Soldier of Christ and you know, I can help you lose weight. I have the answers.
   Me: *blinks, astonished, with my WTF face on*
   Him: *holds up the rosary he's wearing* You've been heavy your whole life, right?
   Me: I don't want to talk about this. *glares*
   Him: Oh, sorry, sorry...*walks away*

   He Followed. Me. To. The. F**cking. Bus. Stop.

   Incident report when I get to work today.

   decafgrande: Let me know what he looks like, your store and what times he usually comes in. When he does walk into the store, just nod at me and I'll take care of the rest.

   I uh. I would have strangled him with that rosary. Also, the reason he's so big is because of his poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and too many double bacon jesus burgers.

   ..whereas, the reason I've put on weight and can't squeeze into my size 2 girls' jeans anymore is because the Bux keeps injuring me and the stress does whacky crap to my body. Oh, also beer.

   I used to be active and exercise regularly before I got hired.

   I lost 10 pounds myself in the 3 months I've been working for the man.

   Yeah, my SM said there's no point in filling out an incident report because it wasn't on company property, sovthey wouldn't do anything if anything happens to me. I sooooo want to tell you guys where I work, it's prolly a bad idea, given all the sh#t I've said about people. Although if you try hard enough, you could probably figure it out from the posts I've made.

    Yer SM sounds nutty (or lazy). A customer made a rude remark to you (at work), made you uncomfortable (at work), followed you from your store to the bus stop, where he made you feel more uncomfortable.

    An incident report should be filed so you can ask said customer to not come back if he makes another comment.

    I'd ask a shift for an incident form or just open the file cabinet and get it yourself. If your SM asks why you filled one out say he made you feel THAT uncomfortable.

    Oh my gosh Alejandra, I am so sorry that happened to you :(

    You can totally call this in. Exaggerate it! Not that you need to, but you could lol.

    You know what I do with those people? They try to talk to me about Jesus, I tell them about why evolution is a proven theory. Crush your dreams, you Jesus freak!

    And the worst--or best-- part is that I am a Christian!!! So to tell me something like that...

    But yeah. He said that if I wanted to actually do something about it, I should file a report with the police. Umhum. I don't even know the guy's name. I almost blew up on the floor today. I started crying in the back after i talked to him. Oh yeah. And my manager said the guy didn't say anything harassing, he was just rude.

    We didn't have anyone that bad, but we did have people that took fake dollar bills and stuffed them in our tip jars, with scripture printed on the dollars. And we routinely had large groups of people come in right before we closed from churches in the area, who would try to convert the only known atheist in their small town. Eventually, I just shut down. Not as bad as your scenario, but pretty damned aggravating.

    <---- Atheist.

    I had a guy who after finding out would come to my bar to wait for his drink and just stand there with a bible in front of him. Listen buddy, I am not going to absorb the godliness of your bible, so eff the fruck off!

    I haven't bothered openly revealing my Atheism to regulars, particularly religious folk. People on staff know I'm irreligious, but they're tolerant. Some religious customers are conditioned, and understandably so, to persuade and recruit others despite how rude it may be. And I'd rather not have heavy **** like that float around me as I pour milk into cups.

    I'm sorry that happened to you. I think some people just really have a screw loose...

    I grew up in a town that has one of the highest number of churches per capita in the nation so I learned pretty early on that my religion or lack thereof is nobody's business but my own.

    I know a lot of my coworkers are Atheist (or at least agnostic) by small comments they make, but we definitely don't talk about it and if a customer ever asked me I'd tell them it's none of their business. Period.

    I left the Catholic church (and, well, the Christian faith) a LONG time ago, but it still irks me whenever I see people wearing rosaries as necklaces. When I was in school, they were banned, and people got upset cause they were all "You're denying us expression of our faiths!!" Anyone who said that in earshot of me got an earful of how then they aren't really Catholic cause then they'd know how to properly use a **** rosary.

    It isn't any of their business, but to unabashedly deny them that information just makes you sound like you're raping virgins and slaughtering sheep to them. You have to either be honest or play along, which will ultimately lead to you getting pestered either way. Especially if you're a decent person.

    @coffeefairy

    Technically, I believe that if you have received communion, and HAVE NOT renounced your faith in front of a priest, you become a lay-catholic, which can rejoin the church at any time. But if you are gay, date someone with another religion, or any number of other things, you are excommunicated.

    I'm a lay-catholic just because I stopped giving a frick a long time ago.

    Religion is stupid. Just like the Beatles said, if you get rid of religion, you almost totally end war.

    I know this gets a bit too far into my personal life, but whatever. I'm an atheist. You know this now. I was raised catholic, by catholic parents. My parents divorced, and my dad started seeing a southern baptist, so he became one, too.

    I renounced religion, and now my family won't talk to me. My mother died last year, and she was upset with me all the way until she passed. Luckily, I have a lay-catholic for a fiancee, so she doesn't really care what I believe or don't believe, so long as I'm faithful to her and love her. It's the best deal ever.

    But, regardless of what your religion is, or isn't, leave it at the door. I don't have a family anymore because of religion, and one of my brothers was killed fighting in Iraq because some jerkwad felt so strongly about his religion that he started a war over it. In my professional life, I've seen far less-experienced and dumber people than I hired/promoted over me because they happen to go to bible study with the owner of the company. Where are the companies out there that will hire atheists?

    So, to end my rant, yes. I have a bone to pick with religion.

    Wow Dry Sharpie, you lost weight while working at SB. I freaking gained like 10 pounds when I started working for the bux. All those free frappuccinos, Man.

    And, back on topic, I agree with MP, kill him. Do it. It'll be worth it.

    I normally don't share my religious views with my customers. I share them with my coworkers because most of them are open minded and educated, so they know better than to try to "save me." I rarely speak to my family and it is partly due to religion, but if we're being honest, religion is their excuse, THEY are mine lol. This customer just assumed I was atheist because he ran into me once when I had all my digging material and said, "Oh my lord, you dig up dead people? You are going straight to heck. I bet you're one of those atheists too!" At that point, I was not about to deny it.

    thinkdeep,

    I've been "confirmed" even (we were in a large group. When the bishop asked us, en masse, if we believed in Jesus and rejected Satan and whatever, I answered "no" but no one was paying attention). There's a way to get yourself removed from the rosters, but it involves contacting the diocese or the vatican or something and basically telling them off and asking to be removed. Otherwise, you're just a lapsed Catholic (lay refers to everyone who's not a priest or deacon, as in the laity.), who's welcome to return anytime you figure out that you've been a naughty naughty boy and are ready for the Pope to slap your nuts.

    @Buxmeister: I'm a skinny guy with a high metabolism. The only way I've been maintaining my weight was by constantly exercising (weight-lifting) and overeating. After I got chained down with the green apron, I've been eating less healthily (less food altogether) and barely getting any exercise (besides running for the bus, or running when I'm late). I drank frappucinos on my earlier 10s but now I stick with sweetened GTL or just plain soy milk.

    Mm GTL. I love sweetened BTL the most.

    And I wish I had your metabolism. I'm in decent shape now that I've been consistently gyming it up for the past 7 months, but if I were to live solely off of Starbucks food, i'd be packing on quite a few lbs.

    The last time someone came to my door offering me a religion, I threw the pamphlet on the floor, spit on it. And closed the door.

    The time before that,I think me and my friend had a 10 minute conversation about wisdom teeth, losing wisdom through the procedure, and pillows.

    The time before that, I told them I needed to go grab the head of household, and never returned.

    The time before that, I actually listened to what they said, agreed with them, and acted like I was really actually interested, to see the outcome. The outcome was the next (or you can say previous, as they are written that way) three circumstances.

    I have not been bothered since. (I have however, also moved.)
