This happened to me when I worked at a Subway when I was 19. A man creepily stared me down while I made his food. Then the entire time I wiped down the front of the store and counters. Then he went to the restroom and waited for me by the employee door. Luckily my manager had https://twitter.com/poetmaybe3/status/1275077537257779207
seen this was happening and was close by. This man GRABBED MY HANDS and proceeded to tell me how amazing his food was and how attractive he thought I was. I tried to politely say that I was in a relationship and he proceeded to continue to try and ask me out
saying it was "such a shame" and that I was "so beautiful". It made me sick to my stomach and at that point my manager physically pulled me back into the employee room saying they needed my help. She then switched me to nights permanently because he came in EVERY. DAY.
Mind you, I was 19. This man was at least 45. I was not comfortable and it was VERY well known on my face. Especially when he continued to hold my hands during the entirety of this conversation and I was so shocked I didn't even know what to do. I was scared.
