The Pill Case

Despite widespread skepticism about aphrodisiacs, we do a booming business in them. At STORE we keep ours in a locked case, and the main people who buy them are guys. It's always the same body language when guys ask us to open the case. At the moment, there's only one guy working at STORE. When a man comes in and asks for a pill, he will then back up a good distance and wait to be rung up. But when girls open the case guys will always stand uncomfortably close, and I can only imagine that they really like our head's vicinity to their crotches. In almost every instance, men will stand right where we're opening the case, despite the fact that we never hand them a pill, they have to come up to the register, and almost all of them are regulars who know that. If we get too uncomfortable there are different techniques for opening the case, but all of them have disadvantages. 

The most practical is just trying to ignore them. They stand with their crotch  right up close to your face and smile and smile. It's like, man, if you think a blowjob is having a chick leaning over next to your fully clothed junk, I don't think you're using these pills right. We fume with resentment, but asking them to step back almost never works. Some regulars are nice but most float around in our bubble.
Mmm, let me just thrust my crotch at your obviously unhappy face

The next tactic is crouching fully down. It doesn't accentuate your butt, but you do have to be careful of the shirt of the day, because anything with boob access doesn't work well with this position. Kneeling down however puts you at a disadvantage. Most men will take this opportunity to ask questions just so they can see you looking up at them, and subconsciously lean over, looming like some sex crazed giant.
Do you like being below me? Cause it looks like you do.
 The last tactic is sometimes effective if you're just sick of crotches in your face, but not if you don't like being ogled. You turn your back to the guy to open the case and use a passive aggressive elbow to clear some space for yourself. This will make them back up, but simultaneously makes them remember you have an ass. One Halloween dressed as Harley Quinn a guy told me he was going to follow me to the counter just so he could extend his eyeful. These days I only wear shapeless Value Village pinstripe pants that make me look like a 1920's gangster, but it doesn't really deter men on principle alone it seems.
Oh look, you're female and have a butt, let me look at the place where I think it is.
These days I just try to tune it out and ignore people who look like they're heading straight for the case, something I make harder for myself by being the most knowledgeable about the active ingredients in all the pills we carry. Someday I'll snap and punch them in the crotch. When they react with affront I'll say maybe they shouldn't be in range.

  1. This prolly won't come as any surprise. But I'm totally going to come in and do one of these things even MORE super obviously then these guys just to get a rise out of ya. Because that's just the way I am.
