Dear Abby: Friendliness is in my job description. So why does it attract all the jerks?
- A hospitality worker wrote to Dear Abby that being friendly to customers is required but often misread by men, and she asked for help to stop attracting unwelcome attention.
- Workplace rules should be listed in an employee handbook, the columnist advised, to protect everyone from misconduct like harassment by co-workers.
- A co-worker sexually harasses her throughout work shifts, while other male customers repeatedly ignore her refusals, the writer described.
- Abby's advice was to start documenting the harasser's behavior and warn other female employees, then tell the harasser his conduct is harassment and report it to a manager as it 'could cost him his job'.
- The column suggested many women in hospitality wear a wedding ring to deter unwelcome attention; Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren and syndicated by Andrews McMeel.
