I get harassed a lot where I work. Two of my customers have gone so far as stalking. Well I finally picked up some courage. A customer of mine had the nerve to approach my register and tell me I was beautiful and then he asked what time I got off because he wanted to kiss me. I looked that jerk in the face and told him I don’t care. He hasn’t talked to me for a few days now.
Optional: Do you have any suggestions for dealing with harassers and/or ending street harassment in general?
Look them in the eyes and tell them you don’t care and that you don’t have to give in to them just cause they want it. I’ve noticed it also works when you call them out on what “they really want,” when they try and word it a different way.
