hi! i’m 17f, just got hired at a job i’ve wanted for a while. just fast food nothing special. anyway, when i had my interview i noticed a male employee, maybe 40s - 50s? and he weirded me out off rip. immediately i got a sinking gut feeling but chalked it up to nerves or paranoia. then, a week later was my orientation. again he’s the one who lets me know someone will be there and he says “welcome to the team” with the most weird and uncomfortable tone. all this while he eyes my chest area. today was my first shift and let’s just say i’m trying not to quit over this. first and foremost, he called me kid all day. at first it calmed me down and made me realize maybe he sees me as just that, a kid. that was until he belittled me my entire shift. he wasn’t even my trainer but gawked at my every move and laughed if i made a mistake. he then told me to loosen up my apron before taking it off as if i planned to just squeeze it over my head like what??? anyway that is tiny compared to him basically groping me for lack of a better word. forgive me for being unsure, but i couldn’t tell if it was his groin against y rear end or his hand but regardless i immediately wanted to cry. it was quick, but we weren’t busy at all and he had plenty of space to walk through. i also want to add that when we converse he either makes never ending and uncomfortable eye contact or won’t look me in the eye and looks at my chest instead.

also this is weird too my friend coworker who ik outside of work told me that our manager, a woman was telling the crew to beware because i was pretty but a minor? like what kind of announcement is that?? idk. is this all anything normal? even the management acting like that is making me feel offput. why would you even hire people you’d have to warn to not hit on a minor? what should i do about this?

anyway that is tiny compared to him basically groping me for lack of a better word. forgive me for being unsure, but i couldn’t tell if it was his groin against my rear end or his hand but regardless i immediately wanted to cry. it was quick, but we weren’t busy at all and he had plenty of space to walk through. he also didn’t say “excuse me” or do any kind of gesture that indicates any a of what happened. i also want to add that when we converse he either makes never ending and uncomfortable eye contact or won’t look me in the eye and looks at my chest instead.

also this is weird too my friend coworker who ik outside of work told me that our manager, a woman was telling the crew to beware because i was pretty but a minor? also why even comment on my looks when im here to work for you. like what kind of announcement is that?? idk. is this all anything normal? even the management acting like that is making me feel put off. why would you even hire people you’d have to warn to not hit on a minor? or anyone for that matter?! what should i do about this?

this probably sounds so obvious to everyone else, but i never know what’s “the real world” vs actually smth no one puts up with.
