Karen Kay,
hi! It's JenStar! I'm glad you're having so much fun, but I was REALLY seriously concerned about the line below:"he had me until i got downstairs and he said 'are you going to show me your boobs?' "
That is sexual harrassment. It is completely inappropriate. This manager needs to be reported to the district, and fired. Implicit in his statement are many bad things: First, he is not professional; second, he cannot be capable of role-modeling and enforcing correct professional behavior amongst the workers if he himself does not practice it; and third, there are problems just waiting to arise.
I know it sounds like "all in good fun" but it's degrading and you should NOT have to take that!
I know I'm lecturing, and I promised myself I was not going to do that here on Babble because it angers people...but I just can't help it!
Please....don't continue to work in this place. And it really is your responsibility to make sure this behavior is stopped. You and the other workers (past, present and future) deserve so much better. You deserve a place that is harrassment-free. Please consider reporting this man's behavior.
I care for you! Please don't let this person and this job take advantage of your heart and your kind soul.
Jen (annoying lecturer who just really cares about you working in a safe environment) Star
> i worked last night. at mcdonalds. with boys. youngins. cutins. one called me little girl (he's younger than i am) and i liked it. another ordered me down to the basement while i was making whoppers or big macs or whatever we make and i was so confused i was running in circles for a few minutes and actually asked my boss if i could go downstairs. my boss said fine. oh, he has the most beautiful eyes. he had me until i got downstairs and he said 'are you going to show me your boobs?' i laughed and went upstairs to continue making whoppers or big macs or whatever we make at the establishment.

> i'm older than my coworkers. i'm older than my managers. i ask everyone how old they are. everytime i ask someone their age, i remark, 'i'm older than you!!!!' finally, someone said 'karen!!!! you are older than EVERYONE here!!!!' i asked my boss (after he told me his age, which is younger than me) if he liked older women. he laughed. i didn't.

> another boss tonight asked me if i was in the mood for exercise today. i was excited. he then told me to clean the lot. i was still excited. i was cleaning the parking lot with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth (this is for you spoc!!!) and LOW AND BEHOLD from heaven it must have fallen, a pill was in a mud puddle!!! hel* yes, i pulled it out. i picked it up, wiped it off, inspected it, and guess what it was????

> so, i work with little boys who want to see my boobs, their idea of exercise is cleaning the parking lot, and drugs from heaven are tylenol pm at 5 am..... but, i honestly do like my job. i think i'll stay there while i'm in school. and, i'm trying to get employee of the month. nevermind they don't have such a thing. i'm talking to the manager about it. he said he'd think about it......
