so at work today a guy came through my line and he was hitting on me and he was really forceful and reminded me alot of the guy who attacked me and i really wanted him away from me. i work at foodlion and its really big that we dont scan these cards under our registers that we are supposed to find a manager to scan one and that takes like 15 minutes. i didnt want that guy around me that long so i scanned one underneath the register and my supervisor saw it on camera and called me into the office and if i get caught again i will get wrote up and possibly susspended but what was i supposed to say? that guy looked like my rapist and i wanted him away from me? umm. i think not. what should i do?

im sorry that happened - if you dont want to talk to your boss about this then maybe if it happens again you can keep telling yourself that its not him over and over - and that you are ok - until the spvsr comes - I dont know what else to suggest..... I hope things get better for you P7

honestly i would tell your supervisor ...especially if the guy was being a jerk. tell him/her that you have ptsd due to rape and that this guy was making you very uncomfortable.

tell them this was a first for you and you didn';t know what else to do to be safe at that instant. do they have any suggestions.

i was in a similar situation at my workplace...and once i mentiuoned it my supervior backed off from giving me a ration of crap.

good luck. it's not a situation anyone should have to be in.

I'm sorry about this.. it so easy to say you should of done this or that.. but when you are going through it right at that time you want to be safe.
But as others have said.. maybe some how you can speak to your boss.. just in case it will happen again.. I don't have an answer for you..
Its hard and each one of us face our triggers different..
But at least talk to someone you trust about this at work.. because you don't want to loss your job.. Not for this person that took your life...then he wins again... take control of this and say NO..
I wish I could make it all better.. sorry if this didn't help..
