Re: Walmart RANT!!
I live pretty close to Walmart HQ, they'd love to hear of your experience. Want me to drop them a line ? 
Being an ugly bald biker type I don't often have your problem.

Re: Walmart RANT!!
At least he didn't make a, "I'd like to get my hands on your baps darlin" line. I would just take comfort in the knowledge that the forwardness of men in the US means that you are more certain of which men you meet are masturbating about you at night. Whilst rubbing a loaf of cheese-bread on themselves. Probably.
I used to have this woman where I would go to buy coffee on the way to work always very loudly calling me her "sexy British guy" every time I went in there. It was okay at first but then it would just get ridiculous. I'd say, "could I have a latte please?" and she'd tell me I sound just like James Bond. Who at the time was played by an Irish 50 year old. I eventually stopped going in there because she started telling me what she was up to out of work - as if maybe I was interested in joining her at the local Speedway. Or in getting drunk in the shitty bars in the nearest city which are always being raided for people selling crystal meth.
You know - just like James Bond.

Re: Walmart RANT!!
You guys are probably right, but I find it quite hard to be rude in someone's face, and I have thought about approaching the manager guy in Big Y because it's got so bad that I now don't go in and I'd never want to offend the poor guy because he seems harmless, so I send my OH there instead on his way home. Maybe I'm just over reacting and should take it as a compliment

Re: Walmart RANT!!
I'd have no qualms about being rude to the bread guy, but I understand your reticence with the cart guy. I'm sure that you have been kind to him -- and very few of the patrons are! -- so that he has attached himself to you and is thrilled to see you. I think that you just have to be very firm -- "Nice to see you, but no time to talk, and I mustn't keep you from your work" and march straight ahead and ignore him. Does he follow you once you are in the store? If so, wait until you are adjacent to another store employee and say something like "Are you following me? Can I help you?" and hopefully he'd either get the hint or be sent back to work by the employee.
Apparently he'd noticed it as I was walking in the store and wanted to tell me how nice he thought it was Maybe I'm in the Twilight Zone

Re: Walmart RANT!!
Okay, so I was in Walmart this morning, a trip that I don't relish at any given moment in time. But anyway, there's a guy who delivers the bread/rolls and stacks the shelves with the aforementioned items. So, he had already accosted me in Big Y during the winter with the most ridiculous chat up line I've ever heard, and he knew by my reaction, I wasn't impressed. So...... this morning I walked straight in to him 
and he decides to try again with the what country are you from again, are you married.......spew, spew..... Now, back in Glasgow, I've never been approached by anyone, male or female and am quite shocked how forward some people are over here, much as I like 99% of people who I've bumped into. So, now not only do I have a stalker in Big Y who collects the shopping carts and makes sure if I'm in the store, to have some excuse to come over and "have a chat"!!, I now have this idiot who just happens to deliver bread/rolls to every store I go into, and have a pervert named Pete who approached me on Friday with the line "Hi, my name's Pete and I'm a photographer, I think you'd make a great subjetc" WTF!!!
Is it me, have I got "any pervert, loony, or generally in your face person, please approach" tattoed on my forehead, or is this the way people are over here. Please, I'm not complaining about the people who live/work where I live, I'm just a bit shocked at people's forwardness and find it quite shocking. Or am I just being a moany faced Scot who can't take a compliment?? Opinions please..........

If however I was attention seeking I'd probably post my woes in a public forum.

Well I'm a fat old hag and I get hit on all the time, if they are really creepy I just take off one of my crocs and smash them over the head with it. Works real well

Shush you, creepy is my department. 
The people who we have made fun of for being fat slobs back in school would look positively fit and svelte here in Texas.
