Because I have seen people in real life with this anxiety:
99% of us in retail give no fucks. You're one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of faces we might see in a day. Your purchasing habits, your kinks, your personality quirks, need to be super weird/memorable for you to even begin being recognizable.
You making a thing out of it makes it stand out more than just letting it pass. You might get a smile or a giggle in the moment, but within 5 minutes you're just some stranger who came through the line.
