If you were a cashier and you saw a teenage girl who looked upset with two older young men who didn’t seem to be related to her, would you be on high alert and try to get the girl help, or would you believe her if she told you she was fine?

In this story, one cashier was in this situation and didn’t believe the girl. That was a big mistake…for him.

Let’s hear the whole story from the teenage girl’s perspective.

AITA for reporting a cashier to his supervisor ?

My elder brothers are brown. They both are really tall and buff guys.

I am a really small white girl, people think I am 16 while I am actually 19.

I was out shopping with my brothers and I was ticked off because of some drama going in my friend group. I was not in a good mood and I wasn’t talking to my brothers and just grabbing what needed to be picked up.

The cashier misunderstood the situation.

We went to pay the bill and I was the one paying it.

The cashier asked me if I was alright.

I didn’t catch what he meant and nodded.

Then while he was scanning things he again asked me if I someone was bothering me while eyeing my brothers.

The guy didn’t seem to believe her.

I smiled and told him that I am fine and said they were my step siblings.

This guy again pointed to the security guard and if I needed help.

I had enough and I asked him If I could talk to his supervisor.

We had to wait 10 minutes but he brought his supervisor over and I explained the situation and pointed out that his attitude was bad.

She thinks she may have gone too far.

We left after that.

My brothers didn’t really care but my cousin who is over at our place thinks I made too big a deal off it.

I feel like a jerk because, I do look like a child and I was not giving off friendly vibes at all. I was very tightly wound and I may have got this guy a write up because he misread my body language. I like to assume the best of people and I feel I didn’t do it here.

They are my half siblings. our dad who is white was married to an Indian woman and then he married my mom who is also white and had me. I am pretty close to my brothers and I don’t like it when people think it is weird.

I don’t think talking to the supervisor was necessary. The cashier was trying to help her, and that’s a good instinct even though she didn’t need help.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

One person thinks the cashier was too judgemental.

Another person knows the cashier misinterpreted the situation.

It’s true. They are her brothers.

She shouldn’t have had to repeat herself.

Here’s a similar comment.

Nobody thinks she was wrong to let the supervisor know.

It’s okay to try to help, but it’s not okay to push too far.
