Is this inappropriate? (self.starbucksbaristas)

we have a new asm at our store. he seemed really nice at first, but apparently he has been flirting with one of the shifts at my store, and sometimes when he says goodbye he will touch either your shoulder or your lower back. I am a previous SA survivor, and having a random man touch me like that is VERY triggering. what is everyone’s thoughts on this? I don’t want to make a big deal out of nothing.

just mention to him that it’s uncomfortable and you’d appreciate if he’d keep his touch appropriate for work settings

either let him know or contact your regional manager or a shift. You do not need to talk to him about it if you feel uncomfortable

I would suggest speaking to him directly, but if you’re not comfortable doing that, go to one of your shifts you feel safe with and explain this. As a SSV, I would 100% want to address this for one of my partners. I would happily take that ASM aside and let them know they were making someone uncomfortable. Just don’t stay quiet about it. Odds are this person doesn’t realize the level of discomfort they are putting you through and they won’t stop until someone discusses it with them.
