25. He committed assault. She should have called the police and reported it.

I don't know whether the store had a video camera, but most/many do, especially package stores. Maybe she needs the job more than she values her safety, but the behavior of these guys was physically threatening, especially since she was working alone in the store at the time. These Neanderthals were exhibiting behaviors that, as a woman, would have made me worried about sexual assault. It was a borderline encounter, and I wouldn't have tolerated it. I would have reported them and quit that damned job.

If people do nothing, assaults like this will increase. These guys have to be arrested. ancianita Jul 2020 #12

I agree, but when you are female and are threatened by a man Ferrets are Cool Jul 2020 #15

I hear you. That's why women, by now, must think and plan in advance for 'the ambush.' ancianita Jul 2020 #17
