I think I was just sexually harassed by the big, gay, black Baker at the local grocery store. I mean.... I know I was harassed. I'm just not sure of the intent.
I was upset about my order, which was supposed to include some sugar free sweets for my diabetic mother, when I was interupted by the flamboyant attendant.
"UMmmmmhuh.... Listen here sassafras. How's about you turnaround, back up in here with those buttermilk loaves cause for now on you gonna be the one bringing me MY sugah. I'm gonna powder those biscuits and come quick Nestle cause this chocolate mix don't wait on milk all day. You got that buttermilk biscuit."
He then starred at me with the most awkwardly, intense stare. The other young female attendant giggled as he winked at her. I was stunned and didn't know what to do or say. Was he joking?? It was so bizzare and absurd. Did he really just say that? I took the items and left in confusion.
I was curious to hear other people's experiences of sexual harassment and how they handled the situation. What should I have done? There was an almost racist element to the exchange. It felt very demeaning and embarrassing. I am a white male btw. I couldn't even bring myself to say anything because I felt so mortified and embarrassed. I don't know if he was trying to hit on me, insult me or a little bit of both. Was it a distasteful joke?? I wasn't being rude or inpatient whatsoever, so I don't understand where this was coming from.
Now that the shock has worn off I think I am going to go confront the guy myself. I did get the replacements btw but I feel insulted by the comment.
