[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night at a get together my neighbor's daughter is a new hostess at a popular local restaurant and said the cooks were slapping her ass with wet towels, busboys smoke dope in the parking lot, and the 20-something waiter creeps are all trying to sleep with her. She's 17.

Yes, make your kids work shit jobs. It really teaches them about "life"![/quote]

So exaggerated. Just like helicopter moms and coddled kids are.

The hostess doesn't hang out in the kitchen. 
The hostess doesn't hang out in the parking lot 
The hostess can go tell the 20 something waiters "no chance"

Any continues problems? Take initiative and talk to a manager instead of coming home crying to Mommy so Mommy can then complain to her Mommy friends.  Get some balls instead of being submissive whiny ladies. It gets 10x worse in college and then 20x worse in the corporate world. [/quote]

It's not exaggerated.  Do you even know? Have you ever worked in the service industry? Because all of these things happen.  And as for being whiny, you don't get to dictate how people respond to being assaulted. People are often afraid: afraid of losing their job, afraid of being called a trouble-maker, tattletale, and worse.  That's why sexual harassment persists.  And, yeah, no, I don't need my teen in that environment. So screw you.[/quote]

But where's your daughter going to learn to thicken her skin if she doesn't get harassed and groped in high school? How will she ever survive adulthood without being traumatized by trash going nowhere in life? :roll: [/quote]
