—> I was hit on, told very gross stories (“I like it when my girl gets all sweaty during sex, so we just glide against another”) and mildly groped.

Disgusting. Your manager is real pervert. I wonder if all fast food restaurant managers are assholes, dickheads, and losers in one package.

“…but loyalty pays off eventually, right?”

Maybe in personal matters, sometimes. But in business? Never. Not ever.

@Drak: You’re right, in the cases when management is actually available (In Argentina, it’s far more common to be told that they can’t escalate the call).

A recent real life example: in a recent flight, the arrival airport was changed to another, with less than 24 hours notice, and I was a little bit peeved. I would be arriving late at night, 150 km away from my original destination. The check-in attendant could have
a) received my complaints and nod, thinking “Why’s he yelling to me?”
b) received my complaints and divert me to management
c) received my complaints, apologize for the inconvenience, and make it up to me and the other passengers.
My wife and I had to complain while receiving response a) with rolling eyes and all, as in ‘Why does this guy complain, when we can’t do a thing) before they deigned to do something about our problem (ask for a van to take us from the new arrival airport to the original ) . This sort of response is all too common in my experience.

Adriano- In those kind of situations though, ask to speak with management. Don’t take it out on the low level people. They are just doing what they’re told. If you have a complaint go to the source of the orders being made.

“As a female, I was to answer phones”
“yell at a 16-year-old minimum wage employee because you had to pick up a piece of paper that she had nothing to do with.”
Sorry, I understand everything else, but this was your job. You were assigned to answer the phones, and one of the things you had to deal with were complaints. Who should the customers have called otherwise? It’s one thing if they treated you without respect, certainly.

It gets on my nerve when people who are paid specifically to provide a face get all ‘why are you complaining to me, I’m just an employee?’ I’m complaining at you because you are the face of the company.

I love this blog because it allows people to provide the “Well, if I were in that situation, I would have blah blih blah’ed” commentary. Because we are all able to transport our social conditioning, upbringing, parental guidance, etc with us when we go live someone else’s life.

You showed more restraint than I would have, even at 16! My dad taught me the importance of a good work ethic, but he also taught me not to take shit from anyone and stand up for myself if I felt I was being treated unfairly. When I read that all your friends quit, I knew if it was me, I would have gone with them. And then for the last straw, again I wouldn’t have bothered to finish my shift. I would have walked out right then and there, if I even lasted that long.

Umm when I was 16 I already knew enough to call the Labour board if I was denied my legally required break.
