Perverted SC

[Lace Neil Singer]

Giving this the NSFW tag, just in case. This didn't happen to me, but to a collegue of mine. Let's call her Kat.

Kat and I were on the tills, serving customers who came into the petrol station to pay for their petrol. Tessa, the manager, was in the shop stocking the shelves. Jim, another co-worker, was out back cuz he'd gotten there before his shift started.

I was doing a money drop when the SC in question came into the shop. He was a taxi driver and at first, nothing seemed untoward. Kat served him. This came right out of the blue.

SC: So, are you going to give me a kiss?
Kat: I'm sorry?
SC: Go on, a kiss won't hurt.
Kat: I'm not going to serve you any more.
SC: So you're not going to have sex with me, then?

I was but Tessa reacted instantly. She came right over and told SC that he could pay for his petrol, then get out cuz he was banned for life. SC paid and left. Tessa then called up the guy's taxi company to report the incident.

Kat was really upset, so Jim came on to the till so she could go out back.

Ummm wow..

Someone moves fast.

Was this guy drunk or what?

[scruff]

I'm pleased he got shut down, but, if it's any consolation to your co-worker, he might not have meant any malice.

I work in the building industry, and it's got to the point that members of the 'considerate contractors' scheme (http://www.ccscheme.org.uk/ ) have typically banned calendars and told members to not talk to passersby, too many chaps failing to understand that 'friendly banter' is not always well recieved.

[wagegoth]

That is NOT friendly banter. That was rude and intrusive.

[scruff]

Oh, I'm not for a moment claiming his behaviour was acceptable, just that he did not intend offence.
I'm _glad_ that companies are now stopping banter/dodgy calendars etc. One of these days, we'll get equal pay...

And I'll not have to have arguments with site managers about them issuing me with a a hard hat, cos they don't want to ruin my hair do...

Tessa reacted instantly. She came right over and told SC that he could pay for his petrol, then get out cuz he was banned for life. SC paid and left. Tessa then called up the guy's taxi company to report the incident.

She did exactly the right thing. I just hope that jerk doesn't come back and take it out on Kat or Tessa because he got fired for his behavior.

[Lace Neil Singer]

That is NOT friendly banter. That was rude and intrusive.

Agreed. If he'd said something like, "Hello, gorgeous!", that still would have been creepy but could have been put down as friendly banter. However, to my mind, anything like what the SC said is offensive and said SC needs a good slapping if they think otherwise.

SC: So, are you going to give me a kiss?
Kat: I'm sorry?
SC: Go on, a kiss won't hurt.
Kat: I'm not going to serve you any more.

Poor Kat That SC needs a good whomp on his head.

Poor Kat That SC needs a good whomp on his head.

Or some way to make sure that he isn't able to have sex with your coworker. *snip snip*

[Becks]

Even the pervs I know don't go that fast!

[Argabarga]

I still don't know where all these guys go to school together, because they apparently all think that this is acceptable behavior

[chainedbarista]

wow, from 0 to perv in under 1 second...

i'm glad the shift kicked this freak of human nature out and banned him; not only was it inappropriate, rude and intrusive, it was harrassment above and beyond the call. i feel dirty just reading that...brain bleach, anyone?

[MoonCat]

Holy crap. What a total dickwad. Seriously, who thinks its OK to say something like that?!!

[Lace Neil Singer]

He probably thought it was just a joke; however, anyone with a shred of human decency should know that it's not something you say to a female cashier. -.-

[bainsidhe]

I like that manager!
