I promise I'm a regular poster, I haven't name changed.
This sounds ridiculous I know, but I feel upset and want to speak to my boss about it.
So I only work one day a week, and today I had my back to a customer, and he stepped back and pinched my bottom. I know it was deliberate, as he kind of did 2 pinches, a bit like if you would squeeze fruit to check its ripe. At first I thought he had mistaken me for someone else, (ok shouldn't have done it, but it could be a genuine mistake) or walked into me as he had his back to me too I think.
He then said oh sorry 'first name' (we wear name badges)
I said don't worry, and he walked off. I didn't think much of it at the time, but told 2 of my colleagues stood nearby. I just kind of laughed it off at the time, as I was embarrassed.
However on reflection it's made me feel really uncomfortable, and my friend said I should report it to work, as it's not acceptable and he could be doing it to others.
I'm going to go in tomorrow and try and speak to my boss, but I'm worried they will brush it off.
I have customers who brush past all the time, with their trolley, basket, hand, whatever. But there is a difference between a genuine brush, and a deliberate pinch.
I feel really uncomfortable about it, and I want to report it, even if they just look on CCTV and warn others or something I guess?
I'm not being unreasonable to report it am I? I don't think I am, but don't want to seem over sensitive!
