So if those who have allegedly been harassed and assaulted haven't felt the need to speak up and do anything about it until now---when it is awfully convenient for them to jump on the bus and claim "me too" and let someone else take the lead---why should I?





Generally speaking, no one is forced to work in any environment.

If a person---female or male---finds the workplace to be demoralizing, demeaning, harassing, or whatever, they can certainly leave and find employment elsewhere.

In facet perhaps it is only through such people saying "enough" and walking out of their jobs will the behavior of the patrons change (because, presumably, they want to be waited on by someone when they go out to eat) and the behavior of the bosses change (because, presumably, they don't want to be the ones doing the waiting on the patrons).

But everyone has a price, and for those who work in a restaurant for tips and who put up with such comments, well, clearly they find the pay to be worth it. And if they do, then who is really asking for a change to be made, and why are they asking for it?

What a disaster. That is just so embarrassing.
