[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. I remember this exact scenario when I waited tables as a teenager. We can all agree it's crappy behavior on the part of the customer but that doesn't make it stop, so she's got to figure out what makes her feels like she has some power and control in the situation.

To be honest, I just blatantly ignored it many times, which discouraged most guys from asking again. Just acted like I didn't hear. Other times, I'd be straightforward and say "nope. But can I get you anything else or your check?"  
Sometimes if the guy seemed harmless, I cracked a joke like "nah, you're not my type" and then all their friends would be like "dannnnnnggggg" (but that's riskier if he gets mad). The one time there was a pushy a-hole, I asked a male server to take over and took my break.

The one job I did quit was when I worked on a golf course. I felt way too vulnerable by myself in the cart and those guys were in their 40's and 50's and acting like damn fools to impress each other. I quit after 3 weeks and never looked back.

It's such an unfortunate part of the service industry and I wish it no longer existed. Hope she finds a strategy that helps her feel more comfortable at work![/quote]
