Annoying Customers (p1?)

! A bit of warning: This is LOOOONG  !

So I am basically from the Philippines and we have this store we call "sari-sari store" which is basically a small convenience store. (my family owns and manages it.)

Our store sells some beers and we have regulars who usually stay and chat in one of our tables and sometimes get snacks and what-not. But there is this particularly annoying customer of ours who would always come in every other day. 

He is an old man, I could say he is in his late 60s, His posture isn't really good and tends to smoke a few cigars while drinking and sometimes stays in for hours while watching on our television (longest time he stayed was 6 hours while watching)

At times he doesn't pay his bill and tends to put it in the "tab" sometimes he even tries to trick us into thinking that he actually paid even though he only paid his cigar and not his beer. Also tricks us that he “paid” some specific times when drinking, when in our lists it doesn’t say he did. He is still our regular til’ this day.

But lately my mother, who is the main boss in our store. Tends to talk about her body and how she is becoming insecure that she looks like a pregnant woman in her shape. It hurts to see her becoming insecure, but I try to validate and make her feelings be heard and try to at least let her know that she is beautiful.

Then earlier when old regular customer came in and bought drinks and cigars and did his usual in our store, but this time he paid his bill, along with his creepy drinking-buddy (who I will talk about later).

Then I heard him talking about my mother looking like a pregnant woman. Which made me clench my jaw hard. Because he was the cause of why my mother was becoming insecure in her own body, why she even bought some “stomach thinning” sort of binder. And why she started to project her insecurities on me. I would’ve honestly tried to talk to him but having my mother present in that time made me stop. So I just kept quiet and glared at them.

He has been our regular customer but he is just downright annoying for me. Especially his creepy drinking-buddy as well. His drinking body is skinny and scrawny and tends to smile a lot (Not in the good way). He is always the regular’s gossiping buddy and he is creepy because he tends to really stare at us for a long period of time.

Also a bit of background. The store is only run by women. Me, Mum, My Older sister and younger sister. We are the only people who run this so a man who just stares at us is downright creepy from the get go. There will be times to that he checks us out, me and my sisters and it is creepy and he would just smile while watching or staring. There was also a time I would call him out that he is staring and he would deny it and said that “your just so beautiful, I can’t take my eyes off you” which I know is a creepy statement. But I'm glad he stopped staring for long periods of times but he still sometimes does it.

Customers tend to get really annoying in our store and some really just gets in my nerves. Hope they stop being so annoying and be just regular people!
