[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC people, I was just asking for a few things that worked for you/ your daughter, and I find myself a multipage cesspool of misogyny and vitriol. (Many of) You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

My daughter is 17. The men who have asked for her number have been customers, not colleagues, and according to her "I dunno, mid 20s?"

[b]This is her first public facing job with adults[/b] (though she has previously done lots of kid-related work.) [b]She's a little shy[/b], but she's excited about getting work experience and earning money for college. I'm asking for some thoughts on ways for someone who is new to being a server to navigate a common pitfall.

Why do you have to make it so vile? Seriously. Reflect and seek help. [/quote]

This explains it.  First public facing job and shy.  This will be good for her.  What she's experiencing isn't harassment.  It's life.    [/quote]
Nope, it is harassment.

Why are so many people trying to justify this? [/quote]

Apparently men are not allowed to ask women out because that's harassment.  [/quote]
Apparently men are not allowed to ask women out - while they are working. You seem really defensive over this. Maybe some introspection on why you continually harass women and minimize it when it happens to others. [/quote]

It's not even just the work aspect, the power dynamic involved in being a server means a waiter knows their tip is at risk if they upset their patron.  So asking out a server during dinner is a huge no no because of that financial pressure.[/quote]
Absolutely. Some incredibly creepy men who keep trying to justify their perviness. How many teen girls have they harassed themselves?[/quote]
