I have a situation that I can't figure out how to handle gracefully.
I would have no problem calling out a girl for sitting down at a table when I am already sitting with a customer, but this girl I work with does a sneaky thing that annoys the shit out of me, but is hard to call her out for without sounding petty.
I'll be sitting with a customer, alone, or perhaps I am sitting with one guy in a group of guys. I could even be sitting at the bar next to a customer with no open seat near us. This girl comes up, and does something obnoxious or outlandish to get the guy's attention. Her favorite move is to come over, get in his line of sight, and make an angry face at him, wave her finger at him, and call him a bad boy or something. Many times she has never even spoken to the customer before, so they are kind of taken aback. Once she even told me to move my chair out of the way so she could get in front of him to fake strangle him. It's like, "hello, I am sitting here, go bother the crap out of some customer who is unoccupied."
There are many customers in my club, almost always more customers than girls. There's no reason that she needs to try to steal a customer's attention away, she should just wait her turn.
I've tried ignoring her and giving her dirty looks, this doesn't phase her. I have to say something directly to her, but I also don't want to look rude and unprofessional in front of a customer. I'm thinking next time I'll say something like, "I'm sorry but we're having kind of an important coversation, could you come back later?". I want to say something like, "You're quite rude, could you leave us please?". Any snappy remarks I could use, or passive aggressive ways I could get back at her? I could do the same thing to her, but she's always sitting with people who are broke losers which is why she makes no money and has to bother the customers I sit with in the first place.
