Do strangers ever make you feel paranoid?

Two years ago, my boyfriend and I moved in together. It was a completely new city for me, and I didn’t know anyone there. Honestly, I’m introverted by nature, which is why I don’t have many friends, and I’m also pretty bad at reading people.
There’s a supermarket near our apartment, and there’s a girl who works at the checkout counter who seems really suspicious to me. Every time I go there, I feel her unfriendly gaze, and something odd always happens when she’s serving me. For example, she ignored me when I asked for a bag three times in a row. Another time, she gave me a torn bill as change. And once, she took a break right after I walked up to her counter. I had never experienced anything like that in my hometown.
Is it all just a coincidence, or is she doing it on purpose? Who knows…

There’s a supermarket near our apartment, and there’s a girl who works at the checkout count that has a cashier who seems really suspicious to me. There’s a supermarket near our apartment that has a cashier who seems really suspicious to me.

Nothing wrong with the sentence but I am noticing that you are using the word "and" too much. Also, girl who works at the checkout counter = cashier

There’s a supermarket near our apartment, and there’s a girl who works at the checkout counter who seems really suspicious to me. There’s a supermarket near our apartment, and a girl who works at the checkout counter seems really suspicious.

repetitive "there's". can omit "to me" since "seems" already implies you have an opinion of her.

Every time I go there, I can feel her unfriendly gaze, and something odd always happens whenthere's always something every time she’s servinges me. Every time I go there, I can feel her unfriendly gaze, there's always something every time she serves me.

Something odd kind of insinuates "peculiar" instead of a negative experience. I think "There's always something" is kind of a familiar expression, this is what I would have said if I was expressing the same sentence so take it as you may.

Every time I go there, I feel her unfriendly gaze, and something odd always happens when she’s serving me. Every time I go, I feel her unfriendly gaze, and something odd always happens when she’s serving me.

"there" is repetitive. It already exists in the previous sentences.
