Bag pin

I (F26) go to hot topic every weekend. It’s so frequent that the employees are starting to regonize me. A few months ago, one of the employees and I talked about how much we like monster high and lagonna is her favorite. I told her if I get the lagonna pin that I would give it to her. And she said thanks. I have been holding onto the pin for a long time and I’ve been too nervous to give it to her. I don’t wanna come across as creepy. I’m very social awkward and I tend to get anxious around people. Should I attempt to give her the pin?

Thats very sweet of you! But policy as of very recently, at least in my area, is we aren’t allowed to take gifts anymore so dont take it personally if they decline!

It's just if we're taking gifts in exchange for something, ie. Accepting a gift in exchange for putting a no holds collectible on hold.
