Today, at work as a cashier, I had a male customer come up to me and ask me what hours I worked today, like he has done for several weeks now. Immediately after, my manager calls my lane to tell me to watch out for that guy. He has been stalking a co-worker of mine. Apparently, I'm next. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was suspended from work. Some lady went to the manager and told them that I was stalking her, all because I would kindly greet her everyday at the grocery store. I'm the cashier. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious and creepy weirdo guy that continuously sends me messages on Facebook is my manager at my new job. FML
Today, while walking around the local thrift store, I noticed an attractive guy watching me and following me through the aisles. As he followed me to my car I was sure I would get his number. He then asks me to bring my purse inside as I had been tagged as a shoplifter. I work at the store. FML
Today, just like every other day, I noticed that one of my male coworkers always stares at me while passing by or when it's time for lunch. I read somewhere that if a person stares at you too long, they either want to have sex with you or want to kill you. He has a girlfriend, so I doubt it's the first option. FML
Today, a man finally was flirting with me in a supermarket checkout lane, even offering to help unload my groceries onto the conveyor. Turns out he was just distracting everyone so his partner in crime could steal $200 from the cash register. I had to give a witness statement to the manager. FML
Today, I'm preparing my defense for allegedly stalking someone at work. The best part, I have absolutely no clue who it is. Now my skin is crawling as I go through all the messages and in person events that occurred with my actual twice-my-age stalker to show my boss what a real stalker does. FML
Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML
Today, at work, I was putting away clothes in the Men's department, when a guy came and started shopping in the aisle in front of me. He kept staring at me non-stop. Getting fed up, I said "What are you staring at?" Turns out he was wearing his sunglasses on the back of his head. FML
Today, at work I got a message from some dude trying to flirt with me. While I was cracking up and making fun of him with my friends, I get a message from him saying look directly behind you, and there he was staring at me. FML
Today, on my way to work, I was checking my hair in the semi-reflective window of an office building. I suddenly realized that the guy I had a one-night stand with last week was standing on the other side, looking confused. He now genuinely believes that I am stalking him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#21 is right. If you even show common human civility to these crazies, they think it means you really, really want them. Clue in your manager, first, that you're not going to be polite to this guy. See if you can get him banned, too. If someone's stalking an employee, how badly do you need his business?

why would you tell some stranger when your worktimes are???

I agree with #8. When someone asks, the first thing you think of isn't that they're going to be stalking you, its just usually them being friendly and making small talk while they're waiting for you to pack whatever they're buying.

If your manager is aware that this guy is a stalker and therefore a threat to your safety s/he should: a) ban him from the store, b) contact the police when he enters the store, c) request a "no trespassing" order be issued for that person. The managers at my job did all of the above because a customer was verbally sexually harassing an employee.

He's probably not "stalking" either one of you. He's probably just looking for a date. Chicks are so fast to cry "stalker" nowadays just because a guy shows some interest. Tell the guy straight out that you aren't interested. If he persists, it's STILL not stalking until he shows up at your house or something. Persistence is how many, many, MANY men have finally gotten that first date with the girl with the curly red hair. He's just a customer who is a little lonely until he does something a little creepier than just showing some interest. Geez. Calm down, all of you. The perfect example is #20's post: They didn't arrest him because he DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL! For all you know, he's just trying to be nice. Failing at it, but that's not the same as being a creepy crazy.

28 is right. we shouldnt jump to conclusions. The guy could just be intrested, but is just terrible with women. However, OP should still be careful. You don't know if someone's crazy, or just a bit strange until something happens. In short, be careful but don't cry 'stalker' until you have a good reason.

#27 is completely right.

i wouldn't be rude to the customer, but why the hell would you give him your schedule? and i agree the manager should do something about it if it's something he thinks you should look out for.

28, I'm guessing we're missing some of the story if he was found to be stalking another coworker in the past -- "chicks" fear these situations for a good reason. But year, customer service jobs are the worse for this sort of thing. I've had a few similar situations, just have your boss make all contact with him instead of you, and have them tell the guy to leave because he is making employees uncomfortable. If he keeps doing what he's doing, trespass him.

if it makes her uncomfortable, it's not ok. PERIOD. And it's really not ok if management is aware that this guy is a creeper and continues to allow him onto the premises.
