Sadly This Is Regular Behavior
(At my small café, I am the only waitress who will work Sundays. Now I know why. One guy, who is apparently a regular as he knows the boss, comes in. He seems cheerful enough and I give him my usual smile and politeness as I process his order, which is simply a tea to go. As I am making the drink, he comes up behind me and mutters.)
Customer: “I’d love to f***you.”
(I honestly have no idea what to say, so I give him his drink and move to the back of the kitchen to start washing the plates and cutlery. He finally leaves.)
Me: *to Boss* “That customer just said he’d love to f*** me!”
Boss: “What?! Just wait until he comes back again!”
(The following week she processed his order herself.)
Customer: “So, where is [My Name] today?”
Boss: “I don’t feel it is right to submit her to such inappropriate behavior from a customer who is at least three times her age.”
(His embarrassment at the other customers staring was worth it.)
