We all have run into those customers that are beyond quirky and are outright strange......
A girl that was doing put backs comes up to me and tells me people are "creepy". Basically after helping a customer find a baking product made the suggestion to come back to his place to eat the muffins or whatever bake good he was making. Also customers giving you the "death look" while your stocking and doing your job and in no way bothering them is quite odd....
Customers who THINK you "should" be interested in them. Then are angry when you are not.
I had to sternly warn a customer " rudely" (no language) to leave my sister/co worker alone because I'd hate to have to go to "jail" again. He kept wanting to touch her arm despite her threats and warnings. If I had let it to her husband, I'd be bailing him out if jail. Nobody touches her. I don't give a damn who you are. Because after they deal with me, they deal with brother in law. They do NOT want that... Believe me.
I have a customer think that we was married and had kids. She would come up to me and give me a kiss. How ever she was "challenged" so it really wasn't that big of a deal.
I've been called a "creeper" twice since coming to work at Kroger. I just wanted to get to know her better..... I have a hard time talking to girls that I think are pretty :(

I don't ****ing know man, there was this guy that came up to me today and was like "Wow you taste great!" I was sort of like "wtf" internally but just sort of worked through the order in silence and said goodbye.
Another time some dude was staring down straight into the ****ing cleavage of my coworker and I was like DAMN DOUGIE WOT U DOIN?!
Most of the truly obnoxious behavior I've observed has involved customers who were legitimately psychiatric and are now institutionalized or imprisoned, so that tends to rob those stories of entertainment value.
Beyond that, there's always a few old perverts awkwardly cruising for barely legal tail. Chances of success? Virtually nil since many of them also scout the shelves for clearance labels and bitch about how expensive everything is nowadays.
