(61,599 posts)43. If a manager is empowered to act against the abuse, that's what matters.
Power is the difference. Servers are "servers" - they are vulnerable to abuse because their role is to serve customers. A manager of any sex can solve the problem by asking an abusive customer to leave. The server doesn't have that power.
Male servers are vulnerable to abuse as well. Any server is vulnerable.

Not much. The managers asks the person to leave, they cause a scene or don't, and life

Never. But I've never personally witnessed misbehavior. I'm curious how they are ejected.

we keep police dispatch # handy; multiple employees ask them to leave, if they don't we call cops.

The article said that at the time, the managers were male, which it saw as a problem.
