I was being stared and smiled at creepily by a staff from McDonald’s. This incident happened when I go to McDonald’s and this harasser was outside of the store, not greeting me when I arrived but he stared at me in an intimidating way and smiled creepily. While I was in the restaurant he would walked around and continued to stared and smiled at me in a very creepy way. I don’t think that’s the kind of friendly warm smile I should be receiving. I felt very very intimidated by this staff. I already raise my concern to the management however it seems like it was not taken seriously and I never heard from the McDonald’s management ever again. Just that if you are curious which McDonald’s I went to. I went to the McDonald’s in Malaysia, Penang.

I am 15 years old, and I have been verbally harassed by the same man about three times, in the same place. This man is tall and quite large. He will often say things such as, “How you doing sweetie” , “Can I talk to you beautiful”, or “Psst, come here”.
I was at my college campus and I’d like to make something clear: I’m only 15 years old. So when this man shouted “cutie-pie” at me I felt disgusted because I am a child and he is an adult. He even knew my age because I had spoken to him before and I told him. That didn’t stop him. It was humiliating.
I was walking home from school and suddenly I hear a strange noise. I look to the right and I see a man shaking/rattling with his keys to get my attention. I keep walking and then I hear him whistling on me so I automatically turn my head around again. Then he screams, “Your ass” and smiles at me.
