TW just in case😓

I work at a mall, at a store that is pretty much only marketed towards women/teens (you can probably guess which store) and this guy in his maybe 40s-50s came in, at first I didn’t notice him, but then he came up to the corner I was fixing up and asked me if I work there. Mind you I’m wearing gear that makes it really obvious I’m an employee. But of course I clarified that yes I did work there, thinking he might need help finding something. After a couple seconds he’s like you know you’re really cute, an important detail is that I’m 18, I just turned 18 last month and I’ve been told I look younger than my age. So with that comment I was thinking maybe hes like thinking of me like his daughter but boy was I wrong… he was just kind of standing there watching me while I was folding clothes so I asked him if he needs help finding anything. He said no, and said I just wanted to come in and talk to you and kept saying that I was cute. He then proceeded to tell me I looked like a good girl, which is obviously not in a normal way in this context and I’m a complete stranger. And then asked me how old I was after all that. At the end of this interaction he handed me a pre written note with his number and “$$$” on it.. along with saying i’ll make it worth your while.. This is my first time experiencing anything like this since I rarely went out before my job, so it was shocking to say the least to have this type of interaction. Has anybody else had something similar happen? I felt really disgusted, and I’m especially worried that this guy might be a predator because it was on a weekend at a mall where a lot of teenagers hang out on weekends, so I’m worried he’d also do that to younger people.
