Someone Missed Personal Space Day In Kindergarten, Part 2
I work in a grocery store. I am usually stationed in the self-checkout area since I like it while most employees hate it. Most other employees are five to twenty years older than me.
As I’m running around the self-checkout, one of my coworkers, a woman in her thirties or forties a full head taller than me, grabs me by my upper arms and SQUEEZES. The way she’s grabbed me, she’s staring me straight in the face.
After a brief moment of shock and panic, I ask:
Me: “What on earth are you doing?”
Coworker: “It was either you or the customer.”
I make her let me go and continue working. A second later, she walks up behind me while I’m with a customer and lightly slaps my shoulder. I turn around to tell her off.
Me: “Do not touch me. If you grab me again, then at some point I’m going to end up hurting you.”
Coworker: “All right, all right…”
I still can’t believe I had to tell a grown woman that it was inappropriate to grab her twenty-year-old coworker with zero warning. Keep your hands to yourself!
