Goddamn Drunk Pervert

[Supermarket Slave Girl]

I've just got home from work, i finished at 9pm and it was a very interesting night to say the least, it started off busy as all hell but did die off around 7.45pm, for those who don't know I work in a deli.

Around 8.15 is when mr drunk or stoned or both smooth talker came up to the deli and started harassing my pregnant co worker, he kept asking for a kiss and declaring his undying love for her, he kept going on for about 20 mins and wouldn't take the hint to piss off.

I had at this time called the duty manager over to deal with the moron, my dm stood beside me keeping an eye on the guy, I had to walk away for a bit because he was seriously pissing me off and when I walked back i started to pull the fish out to put in the cool room when mr smooth talker said to me "I wanna see your tits"

This is the pint where my dm told him to piss off or he'll call the cops and have him charged with sexual harassment, he managed to get him to leave the deli but he came back into the store and dm had to call the cops because he was threatning to bash people and screaming he wanted to see that chicks tits(me).

He did leave before the police arrived and i'm sure the store manager will be wanting to talk to myself and co worker tomorrow as we are both doing the night shift again.

We'll see what happens tomorrow, sorry if this was a bit long.

Does he know there are some places where he could actually some female mammaries ? Granted, he would most likely have to pay, but it would also have been a far most likely to prove successful.

Also, you didn't happen to have a large trout at hand ? I would have gone to all extant to slap him around with one.

[Supermarket Slave Girl]

hmmm, no trout, I did have some basa and barramundi will that do?

[Samaliel]

A herring, maybe ? Anyway, I would have just slapped him with a big fish, bonus points if it happened to be frozen. But I couldn't not think of the IRC /slap when you mentioned fishes and a coldroom.

I'd invest in some mace/pepper spray. (if you haven't already)

I wouldn't. It leads to a false sense of security. And, can lead to assault charges if used inappropriately.

The guy was mouthy, strange, and dealt with. Just another day in dealing with the retail shopping public.

[depechemodefan]

World of Ugh. I hate it when guys (and gals) think it's ok to be inappropriate. Drunk? Hey, it's means I can be inappropriate! :eyeroll:

What is with this board lately and the posters being warned about assaulting SCs? I'm really at a loss. I'm as bleeding heart liberal as they come but the recent rash of "SC rights" replies is truly intruiging.

Anyway, I bring that up because my wife, another unfortunate (former) grocery store drone, had similar pervs say innapropriate things and went as far as to sometimes wait for her after work or catch her going to and from her car. And several times she did fear for her safety.

During my days at the restaurant, one of the waitresses always told me to have keys in between each of my fingers (a la Freddy Kruger) and use it to scratch the shit out of them...mainly in the eyes and face if they want to try something.

I took a self defense class and the instructor said that using keys is actually a pretty bad idea because you'll probably be aiming for a small target, and there's a risk that you could badly injure your hand (not sure how that's different from busting a knuckle after punching someone in the jaw, though).

His suggested weapon? An umbrella. Legal, portable, and effective if swung hard enough.

My personal favorite defense method is the charlie horse. I just hope I never have to use it.

[Supermarket Slave Girl]

It he was still waiting outside we would have gone back in and have one of out big burly coworkers walk us to our cars, but thankfully he was long gone.

I have a feeling he was stoned, my co worker said she couldn't smell any alcohol on him and being pregnant her sense of smell is in overdrive, and he kept going on about how hungry he was and wanted hot food.

We said to go to kfc

No one's saying not to defend yourself if you're threatened. Just to do it carefully, and keep in mind that if you don't do it the "right" way, you can find yourself in trouble with the law.

A belt is also a good impromptu defensive weapon. Wrapped around the knuckles it allows you to hit with a much reduced chance of breaking the small bones of your hand. If you wrap it around your arm it can act as a "buckler" allowing you to defend better against an attacker with a knife, or other weapon. Or holding it by the non-buckled end and by swinging the buckle around you can use it as a flail. The only real trick is practicing how quickly you can get it out, and working out which way is best to get it on however you are gonna use it. *I am am suggesting this for the purposes of self defense, no random violence, since when using any type of weapon someone can get hurt very easily. Even if you aren't trying to hurt them, just scare/chase them off.*

Definitely a good idea for the OP to be alert when heading to and from the building, and keeping an eye out for the guy. Sometimes pervs can have weird fixations; they can get fixated on people they have little to no contact with. Mace could possibly be a good idea, but if you are going to carry anything then check the local laws to see where the boundaries are.

Sometimes I think it would be a good idea to take people like the guy in the OP and have them shipped off to their own island.

Like it or not, SCs DO have rights. You don't have the right to spray someone with mace just because you don't like what they say or if they leer at you. It may make you feel good, it may get a bunch of cheers here, it is still the wrong thing to do.

Don't want to deal with SCs? Work in an office ... at least there you're limited to sucky co-workers. Or, learn to cope (I suggest coming here and venting with stories, we all appreciate it). Getting charged with assault is not a good way to cope.

And, looks like SSG had the RIGHT idea to do here ...

It he was still waiting outside we would have gone back in and have one of out big burly coworkers walk us to our cars, but thankfully he was long gone.

Big, burly co-workers (along with security guards and law enforcement) are far, far better options than trying to take things into your own hands.

Because SCs do, in fact, have rights? Last time I checked, the law applied to everybody and everybody, pervy or not, had certain rights to not have physical harm done to them for no good reason.

We as a society happen to believe you don't get to just go ahead and mace somebody because they said inappropriate things to you. It may make you feel good and remove the threat, but can also get you carted off to jail on assault charges. There are very specific guidelines as to whether or not that kind of force is acceptable.

As for your wife's situation, the thing to do there would have been telling management abut the people hanging around waiting for her, so that they can catch the person in the act and ban them from the premises, even though a ban is only as good as the people enforcing it. Or they can arrange to have your wife escorted to and from her car by male co-workers, preferably of the burly and tough-looking variety.
