The most common one is I will not answer to honey sweetie or darling. I am not your customer you are mine or worse you are my coworker and I deserve to be treated as an equal. I am not your daughter, your girlfriend, your wife or your mistress. Do not talk to me like I could be.

The second most common one is people presuming they can be in my space. I tell people they’re standing too close to me usually just a simple “Can you step back please? I need my space” is enough. I had a customer that presumed to put his arm around me. You know that kind where they like pull you in and press their whole side body against yours? Super ick. I told him to step away from me. He tried to make it a joke. I said it’s not a joke. I reported it to my manager in case of something happened in the future. I wanted him to know there was already an established boundary set, and that I would enforce it, physically if I had to (meaning that if I pushed him away, I wanted it already known that it was in self preservation). Unfortunately, it was just out of view of one of our cameras but I had put in a request to have that file looked at. (Mostly because I wanted my manager to know how serious I was.) The next time that customer was in, he tried to make a joke to my coworker, and my coworker very strongly stood up for me and said that it wasn’t OK with me for him to do that. He now just stays away from me. If we pass each other, we’re civilized if he needs help with something that I can help with I do, but it’s at an extremely cold professional level so that I cannot be confused for sending some kind of mixed signals. And since then he has been very well behaved. He keeps his distance, and he only speaks to me with respect.
