Edit: I’m going to sleep, I’m not ignoring you if it takes like 12 hours for a response.

I can elaborate if you have questions that help clear things up, suffice it to say I’m doing normal ass things and they’ll walk by and pat me on back saying “good job” in the voice one uses when a puppy begs to be let out instead of pissing on the floor.

How the fuck do I go to HR and not sound paranoid/persecution complex” about this? They took it a step further today and the meat department asshole I’ve posted about wanting to duel (damn the consequences) about before slapped my shoulder (I’m not even comfortable with a gentle pat) and said “what a perfectly adequate job you’re doing”. Of course the house trained ….pick a word that I am said “thanks for the compliment”.

I’m going to lose my job after flipping out if I allow them to continue this, yet alone escalating.

Advice?

P.S the people I work with in my department are basically just normies. No better or worse than average American. The deli guy fucking called me little one and I’m still pissed about that because I have a height complex even though Reddit losers have turned into that meaning child and I can’t tell which direction he meant it in.

    The guy might even be younger than me. He’s the sort of “either a very healthy 30s or similar in age.

    I think what I was trying to get at is it’s obviously fake or contrived. There’s another person who does similar amounts of unnecessary compliments but she’s just a nice person.

    Like half the time I buy an energy drink or something she “accidentally” scans it out instead of ringing it up. So unless it’s an elaborate ploy ( I’m not that paranoid), it’s probably just a nice older lady thing.

    Thanks for the thought out response and context giving.
