I’m not 17 anymore (and I’m not an employee worried about my job) so I’m very comfortable calling them out on it very loudly and swinging an elbow if I need to. But I really feel for these younger employees who are subjected to this. It shouldn’t happen, ever. I think a public announcement would be a great idea - at least bring some awareness to it.

(Just to be clear, in no way am I suggesting this young girl, or any woman or man being harassed should have to feel comfortable making a scene to avoid these instances - it just shouldn’t happen in the first place.)

i can't even fathom doing that... ever... even back when i was a dumb teenager. i did lots of dumb stuff when i was younger (ha... still do actually), but to intentionally grab/rub up against a girl/woman... not a chance. that thought would never even register. i guess it was the way my parents raised me... who knows.
all i know is as a dad, i would become unhinged if i ever saw anyone do that to my daughter!
