Cody, you could say to him "I am not that cheap as your printer and you are making a mistake"
On the other hand, things like that happen everyday in corporate, business and fields. Say, you don't behave nice with your boss (does not have to be sexual, btw), you do not get promotion..

I don't think something awful happened to you, you got told that you were sexy, and had some creep come on to you. Girls have it happen all the time. That said, what he did was terribly inappropriate from an employer's standpoint.
First of all, 70% off a printer is insane, unless that model was extremely clearance and what not, and a demo there is NO reason to sell it that low, he probably wouldn't even have been allowed to sell you that printer at that price. I think he definitely wanted to see how far he could get, and you should get him in severe trouble. Terribly inappropriate for a sales person.

Gotta agree with Salty. The situation is very inappropriate, but not something that seems like it needs a whole lot of thought or emotion invested.
Besides, how well does he speak English? Maybe he just heard "sexy" on a television show referencing a nice looking woman and assumed that to be the correct way to compliment you. It's all weird, but not worthy of antacids.

He speaks two languages FLUENTLY.
French and English.
Is he a horrible person? How do I know?
I only know that I was offered a VERY cheap printer at the same time he was asking me personal questions - which I didn't even get into with you guys - and he told me I was beautiful and sexy and he touched my arm. I didn't respond to his advances and all of a sudden the printer was "sold' to his fellow store worker.
Now here's the thing: I get flirted with a lot. I get told I'm sexy, beautiful, BLAH BLAH BLAH. I don't think I am, but maybe some people are hard up or something.
I wouldn't have even thought twice about the interaction except that I feel that he was using the printer as some sort of bribe and it didn't even occur to me until after the fact - and when another Office Depot store thought that the "coincidence is a bit stange." Don't try to bribe me, you know?
Yeah, he deserves something. I'm not sure what, but next time he'll think twice about jerking people around.

You should have kicked him in TEH NADS, and then shoved his head into the printer box when he doubled-over. And then, you could have pushed him over by kicking him in the butt, and then gone for a kidney shot while he was on the ground.
THAT would have been cool.

I imagine Sydney Bristow/Jennifer Garner might have done that, but not me.
I just, "No, I'm not beautiful or sexy. In fact, today I look like crap," and I walked away.

I'd just like to point out that, perhaps, Cody Dawg is sexy. See, men don't tell strange women that they're sexy - unless they really are.
Furthermore, Cody, you seem to believe that a woman that has children cannot be sexy. I beg to differ. Children play no part in whether a woman is sexy. I thinks it's funny that you keep mentioning the fact that your children were present as a testament to the fact that you couldn't possibly be sexy.
Oh, it's possible.

Robbie Williams hit on my G/F about ten years ago (he's a homie). She told him to "go away" 'coz she already had a proper bloke. And then laughed quite a lot. As did I. So I don't know - that girl was kind of strong-headed.
Simple as this Cody... ...you're a good-looking gal. Things like this are going to happen. It could be worse, I mean you could be me and get hit on by everyone every time you leave the house.

I'm very sorry Cody. Please don't sell short.
I really do need to talk with you very soon though, please.

Yes, it's sexual harassment.
If the store doesn't: A) Apologize profusely, B) Give you the deal on that (or another) printer, and C) Take care of this idiot of a sales person. I would talk to a lawyer.

So that's what finally turned him.

If the guy is from France, that's just how a lot of French men are...Very aggressive/overly flirty/"oh baby youre the most beautiful girl I've ever seen". Take it for what it was a move on.

Weezer: He's from Haiti. He's not French. To be specific, he's a black man from Haiti, approximately 24 years old, about 10 years younger then me, it was just inappropriate all the way around. Besides which the Office Depot training program specifically teaches against everything he did.

It's normal in Europe, to tell a woman she's hot.
And this thread is worthless w/o pics.
