Alexis Salter, 23, of Kingston, Ont., told CBC News she believes the stare is "100 per cent" a real phenomenon — she says she's done it before while working in customer service — but that she believes people misinterpret it as rudeness.
"I've had some people ask me what their PIN is when making a transaction, so I will admit I've had to process what they've said with a blank stare and pause to think before I say my next thing," Salter said.
"It's also more of a reaction I give when people are being rude or ask very common-sense questions."
