Go to gas station several times a week

>go to gas station several times a week
>owner starts getting friendly with me
>notices that I've lost weight & compliments me
>expectation for conversation every time I step in
>stop going

Here's my question- do normies actually like this stuff? Would a normie feel appreciated and happy to know they are recognized? All I see is another obstacle to get through to getting my liquor and chances to fuck up conversation so it's not worth the hassle now

same with me and a corner cafe, I just want biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon to go, the waitresses are nice, the owner is the cook and he gave me a to go box of egg burritos, gravy, and hash browns for free, calls me "young man" in this gravely smoker voice

>never want to go back
>still go for biscuits and gravy
>dread it every morning

Ugh OP here I had the same issue at a local place. I would get the same order every time and the girl that worked there started teasing me about it and would ask why I didn't get it/say I always get it depending on what I ordered. I stopped going. I just want to be a stranger

>Would a normie feel appreciated and happy to know they are recognized?

Yes. I got fired from Tim Horton's (canadian coffee place) because too many customers were complaining that I kept forgetting their names and their "regular" orders. They seriously expect everyone to act like their friend. It's disgusting.

I hate the expectation that I want to exchange platitudes, I just want muh southern comfort food, stop calling me sweetie.

I dread the day this will happen at my local shop since there are no others nearby. hopefuly shopkeepers will get fired soon...

why are you faggots leaving your house?

I cannot wait until that blessed day when I will order food from the machine and machine will deliver the food. McshitDonalds already has the machine ordering thingy, but food is still delivered by humans so interaction with them is still inevitable.

wageslaving, and ordering food online is too expensive at my country

food

I'm cooking up my own onions so I'll never have to leave though

Sounds like bullshit but in case this is legit how do I get someone fired from Tim Hortons?

I hate that place but it's the closest thing to my house, attached to a gas station. It's some immigrants who are unfriendly, constantly fuck up my order, forget the sauce with my potato wedges, make shitty unbalanced poorly wrapped wrap sandwiches, constantly do not fucking have anything (they have chili and potato wedges maybe 20% of the time), only fast food place where they won't make more, forget the salt/pepper/butter in my chili, some nigger literally stands there texting for literally 20 seconds (I counted) before he acknowledges me and takes me order, donuts and timbits are stale, etc etc etc. This has been going on for a year. I want to stop giving them money but there's nothing else for a quick lunch.

Like holy fuck shut it down. Fuck Tim Horton's

maybe you can use this opportunity to practice social interaction etc. Just some gas-station guy you can easily "cut ties with" if you just start going to another store

>heavy smoker
>start going to the same gas station everytime because qt works there
>it's been 3 years now and every single employee knows what cigs I buy
>can buy cigarettes without saying anything or being spoken to at all

Have you never complained to the manager?

i struggle with this a lot myself with this one convenience store I've been going to for years for cigarettes now. the guy knows I am an autismo at this point so he doesn't expect too much out of me. he probably thinks I'm a full blown potato at this point. i force myself to make small talk with him every once in a while and gets a big kick out of it. it still sucks a lot though. simple human interaction shouldn't be this difficult. i blame my parents for having me in their early 40s and doing a shit job at actually rearing me more than anything else.

have you tried going in their drunk? it honestly helps a lot. idk I wouldn't sweat it too much, once they pin you as a weirdo they give you a little bit more leeway.

it's literally a corner of the gas station and the manager is part of the problem (is rude and makes shitty wraps)

I worked those types of jobs. Every interaction as a chance of going catastrophically. Regular people ease that stress because you have helped them before. There is a little risk when they see a regular, so they start to get friendly.

do regulars who don't reciprocate your friendliness scare you

im pretty sure I scare the shit out of the guy that has been seeing me regularly at the sandwich shop I go to for the past three or four years at this point

Life sucks. Grow up and learn to live a little.

People like you make me believe in the NPC meme. I can't imagine posting something like that and actually thinking it's worth saying

>shop workers start to notice you
>stop visiting shop for weeks

Just power through it Iike this user said They will realize you're an autismo after a while and just leave you be. Push comes to shove they only care about your money.

>tfw shoplifting from blonde 45 year old cunts store for 2 years straight

>Go to barber

>15 min awkward silence
>"Happy new year sir"
>"y-you too"

i go out of my way to go to Chinese hairstylists who don't speak English for exactly this purpose but even they have gotten into the habit of making small talk now

>work by myself in a shack without electricity or running water
>if you have to piss or shit, you have to walk across the parking lot, into the Food Lion, and then to the very back where the bathrooms are
>the trip to and from itself takes five minutes, and I'm a fast walker
>there is a guy who used to be an independent contractor who sold chips to Food Lion who would sometimes talk to me, who since had to become an employee there because there wasn't enough money in his business
>every time I go to the bathroom I have to stop and talk to him for a few minutes

He is a really nice guy and I like talking to him, but I sometimes run out of things to talk about with him and it adds more time to the amount I am already away. I just remedied it by holding my piss for hours or if it gets really bad running to the woods and pissing there, so I only have to go to the Food Lion to piss every third week. It is quicker and I am less likely to run out of things to say.

I worked in a gas station for 2 yr in college. I didnt chat up the customers tho I just shot em their smokes real quick and was polite.

Customers dont need to worry because the clerk will have another customer at the till in 120 seconds and forget all about you anyway.

I did have some 16 y.o. qt who would come in to chat me up and buy cigarettes. She turned 18 eventually... Heh

>giving yourself a UTI or literally pissing in the forest just to avoid a few minutes of conversation
just robot things

Having to converse is a small percentage of that. I mostly dislike having to lock up the shack, walk all the way there, use the loud hand-dryers, walk all the way back, unlock it, and then make sure nothing was stolen from my car while I was gone (because I can't lock my car because the only door that opens from the outside is the one that won't unlock). It bothers me I have to do all that just to piss for maybe ten to twenty seconds.

>literally pissing in a forest

What's wrong with that? I prefer pissing in the forest. At my house I always go outside to piss. Most men I know have no problem pissing outside.

>I'm a tough man because I piss outside

Your solution is a gatorade bottle, man. If it helps, that's exactly what snipers do when they are in position for days. And they shit into a plastic bag. Be a tough guy and shit in a bag.

I consider myself to be a robot. I like this, im very introverted and was bullied in my childhood. People being nice feels nice.

>I'm a tough man because I piss outside

I never said I was a tough guy, I said I prefer pissing outside and most guys I know prefer pissing outside. Why should I carry around a gatorade bottle to piss in, when I could just piss in the woods? What is the benefit of carrying around a piss bottle as opposed to just pissing in the woods?

I don't think I can explain things to you. I recall when the other guys and I thought pissing outside was a big deal, too. We were 5 years old.

>I recall when the other guys and I thought pissing outside was a big deal, too. We were 5 years old.

Again, you're putting words in my mouth. I don't think it's "a big deal", I find it more convenient and relaxing. I've done this for most of my life. Why is it so bad that I like to piss in the woods over a gatorade bottle that I would have to transport and empty?

haha i'm exactly the same, now I can't go to the gas station that's closest to me with the best snack selection, there's either one fat bitch who flirts with me or a really nerdy guy who talks to me about warhammer. Usually just take the extra 5 minutes to go to 711 and get served by the Indians who don't want to be my friend.

>Not wanting to make friends

Attached: daammmmnnn_400x400.jpg (400x400, 26K)

Here's the strangest part. I don't care about the professional friendliness or even the socialable friendliness which is the normie watermark. When I encounter these things during my daily routine, I can just ignore it as part of the environment. What fucks me up is when I encounter a genuinely kind person, with a genuinely kind face, who wants nothing from me. Those are the moments that haunt me.

For me it is the other way around,
I prefer to go to a place with familiar faces to cover my needs, for example:
>Going to the same barber since I was a child
It's usually the same conversation, 'how will you want it?' 'do you like it?' 'See you in a couple of months'
>Going to the same 3 options during the wageslave rest period
I need mom or sister to come with me to buy things if I need something not as common as clothes or medicine

I'm more surprised you go to the Food Lion to shit and piss when you have a perfectly good middle-of-nowhere utility-less shack. I'd be pissing and shitting in the woods every chance I got.

This is good for you, retards. It'll force you to practice your conversational skills. You might hate it right now but a year down the line you might actually be able to communicate with people somewhat regularly. It's called exposure therapy.

It's in the middle of a small town on an exposed hill, so I couldn't even piss around the corner. I also don't have faith in my abilities to shit outdoors in a wooded but still suburban environment in a timely and leisurely manner. Also if I got caught in the act, people will be much more sympathetic to a pissing person than a shitting person. I do like to shit outside in the summer, though.

The fact that he can say it with a straight face like it's something worth even wasting energy on, is so alien. He thought it, which was the strangest part, something so puerile, something so eye-rollingly cliche ... he thought it. And then he took it a step further in strangeness by actually wanting to articulate such mundane drivel.
These are the ordinary people who can get through life, because nothing about them fundamentally challenges them. Inside them, a gust is always whistling n the canyon, and this arid vacuum they call "getting by".

>Mr Cool likes pissing outside in the middle of town, whines about holding piss, whines about a guy in a grocery store with a bathroom, and wont piss into a bottle in his shack.

I think you just want someone to tell you that you're cool for pissing outside. Congratulations, outside pisser. Great job.

No one has ever tried to make conversation with me or be friendly to me, though I don't leave my house much.

Seclude yourself in a cabin and write a novel for us, user.

>OH GOD PEOPLE ARE NICE TO ME AND APPRECIATE MY PATRONAGE

Deep down all they care about your money and the friendliness they exhibit is just a strategy to make you feel like you're at home, so that you come back and fund their wages. It's all fake, and because it's fake, it's not to be feared.

I've been considering it. I need a career that doesn't require me to be around people.

Have you considered that the gas station owner may be a similarly lonely fellow, but one that craves interaction instead of abhorring it?

I work as a bartender in a popular restaurant, and I can say for certain, every single person appreciates if you know them, as long as you treat them right. Regulars come in all the damn time; some of them like me to hand them a drink and a tab, some like to sit and talk to me for 15 minutes about our lives before ordering, and everything in between.

If you don't like being seen as a regular, consider, what if the person that knows you were to simply give you your stuff, check you out and not bother you? I'm sure that's what a majority of the people here would prefer. Hell, it's what I prefer. Go into a restaurant, they say hi, give me exactly what I want (which never changes), leave me to my devices, I pay and I'm done. It's nice


>Tldr; you don't dislike them knowing you, you dislike their service to you

Depending on the area, time and usual circle of customers, that shy beta fuck who can only stumbles out a "A-and you!" might just been the only customer of their shift that is not yelling at them, threatens to call the managment, the BBB or the UNO because he is too stupid to tap his own damn card pin in or pulls some "I tough guy, u service maggot" shit on them, oddly enough.
Look at it that way sometimes.

>clerk implies in any way that he remembers me
>stop visiting that place for several months

>only buy clothes online since clerks harrasing me with questions gives me a mild panic attack
>almost exclusively catch public transport from the first/second stop as to sit on the single seats to avoid standing next to people
>almost completely stopped visiting uni lectures (still getting passable grades) because a room full of people I should:ve been friends with and who all know each other terrifies me
I want off this earth. It doesn't get any more over than this.

Bruh a lot of businesses make it their employees' jobs to be friendly with the customers. Stop being an anti-social cuck

I was like you, user, only far worse. Just know that there is a way to live in the world, and be apart from it at the same time, while completely at peace. Perhaps you'll find it, perhaps you won't. But there is a way, and it doesn't involve things like therapy, or mundane things like "just get out there, bro, and do it. face your fears. etc. etc."

You might have mistaken this thread with facebook.

You might have mistaken the name of this board for yourself. You have a natural ability to communicate with people but you decide to be a faggot. Fuck off

No u, fucking normalfag.
This is obviously not a place for you. No one needs your 1443242526th rehash of the "jst bee uarself brah" useless normalshit advice.

>It's some immigrants
You could have stopped there because thats the only reason you want him fired, the rest is stuff you use to justify feeling the way you do and to not feel bad about being racist

>not feel bad about being racist
Literally why would anyone feel bad about being a racist?

In a cold lonely world, a familiar face makes it bearable. It's ok that you don't like that. It's just some of need to care, much like a shark needs to keep swimming to stay alive.

I'm not an overly social man, but it's lifeblood, once you grow used to it.

I have no idea, ask yourself

>no u
Ok fag. Fucking suck it up you depressed motherfucker. I'm sorry you may not like certain aspects of life, but it doesn't mean you have to fucking exclude yourself because someone tries to make a fucking connection with you.

where did u got that pic user

I just cut my own hair.

Saves money, don't have to go out and waste time, don't have to interact. I don't do long hair though so if you do it might not be such an easy option.

honestly one of my friends, who is a normie, basically a chad (has a qt gf) didn't like that shit either. other normies i knew did. i'd say most do, especially extroverts

some chads are introverts though. it's all about the looks

I dunno about you anons who live in other parts of the country and the world. But in New England it's always super quick ussualy with clerks. No bullshit just buy the shit and go.

I have a wide variety of locations to shop for the same things so there are weeks or months in between visits to the same place. I get my hair cut at many different places.

Committing suicide? Or crossing your fingers before doing everything so it doesn't count?

not the same guy but if x (in this case socializing with these people) causes issues or unwanted stress then does it not make sense to limit or remove x as much as possible?

Fucking hell the last time I went into that fucking store was august of last year. Why the fuck do you remember what I ordered.

I also stopped going to a local dairy because they got too overly familiar with me and my family.

I seriously want to kill all normalfags.
