To think this is inappropriate?

[MovieQueen12]

Doing some work at another site to my usual one as they are short staffed.
The manager there is very friendly and I told my usual manager this. Now, everytime I go there (to the other site) she gives me a big cuddle in front of everyone. I do not like it but don't want to be rude. Aibu to ask how to deal with this?

Oh I'd hate that! I'm not a hugger. It is inappropriate. I'd just step back and offer a handshake instead

If someone's coming in for a hug and I can't fend them off with a handshake or similar, I usually feign illness, refuse and say it's for their own good. Not sure how that would go down at your particular workplace in terms of coming in when 'under the weather' but it's a useful last resort.

She does it everytime now, very enthusiastically, sometimes even running up. I think she believes that I am really fond of her and want the cuddles. Who knows but she doesn't do it to anyone else...

Wait, we're hugging in the workplace now? When did that become ok?

When she next hugs you gently squeeze a breast or stroke her buttock or something whilst whispering 'I could tell you feel the same way'.

hold a hand out on front of you like a stop sign but close to your body as she approaches and say 'Sorry, I'm not feeling well today', or just 'not today'. Repeat until she gets bored.

I wouldn't like that. I think just say it to her maybe? Not in front of everyone, just when she's alone that you really aren't a huggy person.

Use your words and say no cuddles please while holding up your hand if necessary.

No cuddles ! I hate all this stuff
Pump fists instead

Or the elbow knock ?
Because of covid ..
