I am a waitress

[Jhall5]

And recently, I have noticed male customers being more demanding, putting their hands on me, etc. Maybe men are more emboldened by trump's disrespect, or maybe I am more sensitive because of it. Fortunately, I have many large friends in the kitchen ready to get my back at a moment's notice. But seriously, what do you think?

1. Certain types of men feel emboldened,

Don't let them get away with it. Make sure your friends in the kitchen are aware by speaking loudly if you feel threatened. Make sure someone walks with you when you leave, especially at night. Stay strong and be safe.

2. I'm not a waitress

but I think you guys take a lot more crap than most women do anyway. Some men (my dad was one) tease every waitress that ever crossed his path, but he never did it in a mean-spirited way. My husband is always kind to waitresses because his family owned a restaurant and he knows what hard work it is.

I'm so glad you have friends in the kitchen who have your back. I wish I had an answer, but I think it may depend on the clientele your restaurant has.

3. you are correct--the slugs are coming out from under their rocks. I am glad your friends

in the kitchen have your back. what happens if you spill a pot of coffee on one of them, as a friend who was a cocktail server did when a poker player put his hand up her skirt?
