While preparing for a recent business trip one Saturday I stopped in the Green Hills NTB store to purchase several things. Upon entering the store I was confronted with a character by the name of Steven. At first I though that he was just overly friendly and trying to get a good commission. I decided that his was, however, not the case. While I am a gay man I do not consider myself famboyant or ""queeny"" in any respect. Steven, on the other had, is the opposite of that. he apparently picked up on the fact that I too was gay. From that point on I was subjected to a variety of innapropriate behaviors including him severly violating my personal space (let me say here that his breath was horrible!), making off color comments about the tightness (or lack thereof) of my clothing, and him letting me know what days he works at NTB so that I may come visit him again. \r

I was extremely uncomfortable during this whole encounter and would have said something to the other woman working there but she was extremely busy herself. I left the store, without my intended purchases, and vowed never to set foot in there again. This would have been the end of the tale had I not seen a posting on Craigslist detailing a similar encounter with this Steven. The author of that post detailed a scene remarkably similar to what I have just outlined. It's apparent that this employee is using his work hours as a some sort of ""pick up"" time. I'm not sure if the company reads these comments, but if that's the case then I suggest something be done about this problem. \r

Simply put, you're losing business!
Pros: good merchandise
Cons: see comments
