I would have totally appreciated it as the cashier. I know when I worked at S*bucks, there were many customers who made me uncomfortable like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-i-would-not-have-done-in-my-20s#post-2122686 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:42:27 +0000 Maysprout 2122686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you!<br /> Im so much more direct with people and willing to address conflict head on now than when I was in my 20s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-i-would-not-have-done-in-my-20s#post-2122678 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:39:39 +0000 Jess1483 2122678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I witnessed something similar last week. I didn't hear the incident, but a young guy (20s) obviously said something inappropriate to a woman on the street. He was with his girlfriend so I think it was probably just mean rather than sexual. Some guy yelled at him, made him come over, and told him "don't talk to a woman like that." The young guy apologized. I was impressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-i-would-not-have-done-in-my-20s#post-2122653 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:26:11 +0000 Adira 2122653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

I went to the usual corner deli to get my breakfast on my way into the office. There were a couple of construction workers paying at the cash register ahead of me. They were joking around with the female cashier and everything was nice and light-hearted. I was only half-listening. Then I heard one of the guys say the word "spanking". The cashier looked very uncomfortable and turned to me and pointedly said, "Can I help you?"</p> <p>She rang me up, and the guys were still standing there waiting for their food. So I turned to them and said, "I think one of you owes her an apology. I'm not sure which one of you made that comment, but you clearly made her uncomfortable." One of them asked what I heard, and I told them that I heard the word "spanking". He said, "That was me, I was only joking." So I said, "I don't think she found it very funny. It made her uncomfortable. You owe her an apology."</p> <p>And he apologized! </p>
