“When I was 19, I was working in a coffee shop that stayed open late on weekends. The shop was surrounded by bars and there was this one customer who would come in about every other week and harass me. The general manager, who was never in at night and thus never witnessed it, wouldn’t let us trespass the guy, so the supervisors and the rest of the night crew banded together to protect me from him.”
“If anyone asked me to ‘go get some caramel’ after 8 p.m., it was code for ‘your stalker is coming, go hide.’ I was always behind the espresso machine so I wouldn’t be visible from outside or from the entryway and my colleagues always saw him before he saw me.
Security for a nearby parking structure even started picking me up after my shift in their golf cart to drive me to my car so I couldn’t be followed. Between this team of like 20 people working together to keep me safe, they eventually managed to convince the guy that I had quit and he stopped coming around.”
