Or at least the ones you don't like to associate yourself with. Like you want to seem like you have some type of rapport with them, but really you don't like them.
So one of the tactics of keeping the illusion alive but still giving them subconscious signals to stay away from you is sometimes when they walk by or are clocking out and leaving, and then they say bye (or sometimes hello), you pretend you didn't hear them and go on about your business like they don't exist. You sometimes say bye, but never make eye contact.
And when they do come up to you and start to try to talk to you, you always steer the conversation toward yourself. Never let them talk about themselves. And always seem like you have some task to do that is over there and not here where you two are standing. So after a brief moment of steering the conversation towards yourself you abruptly leave to do said task.
Yeah, the OP sounds like a cold, uncaring, snobby person who doesn't want to be friendly (or even make a decent attempt to be friendly) to your co-workers. Not someone we need at Kroger, as there are too many of your kind working here already.
Hey, please try to be kind, you might find that the person you didn't want to talk to (for whatever reason......you think you are "better" or smarter or a better worker than them) might be the person who helps you out, in a big way, some time down the road. Every person has their own problems, of which you may not have a clue about. Give em a break......... please.
Not sure if OP is saying that they do this or complaining about people who do this to them.
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my OP. I don't do this to other people. But, I suspect an ACSM does it to me.
Maybe it's just my introverted nature, or perhaps he doesn't think I'm cool. He buddies up with other cashiers, but seems to keep me distant. But in a way that doesn't seem like he's keeping me distant. But it sure feels like he is. He's been an ACSM at my store for months now.
Perhaps he's just tired of me. I'm not a very social person, but I try to be friendly to people when I can. I suspect, because of my introverted nature, he doesn't bother with me.

I'm not describing myself, just frustrated when people do this to me. I find because of my introverted nature, people often do this to me. Even though I try my best to be friendly without much awkwardness.
