To not complain about the KFC drivethru man?

I've just been to pick up KFC for me and DP. I went on my own as babies are in bed and DP still working from home.
The man working behind the drive thru was very forward and called me gorgeous. I awkwardly smiled, took my food and said thanks, didn't think anymore of it.
DP was taking the food out from the bag and came across a note on a napkin saying 'send pics' with the following info.

snapchat: username
Instagram: username

I've had a stalk on his Facebook and he's mutual friends with my best friends little brother and he's 17. I'm 23.

I think just leave it, throw it away and next time send DP to pick up our weekly monthly KFC, DP is quite annoyed about it.

His main point is that it's really inappropriate and if he did it to someone in an abusive/jealous relationship there could be trouble for an innocent woman. He said if he had randomly found a guys snapchat with 'send pics' on my pocket he would assume I'm messing about.

He thinks I should complain. I just want to leave it, it's more hassle than it's worth.

WWYD?

No. Not get over it. Dh has a point., Perhaps next time Dh collects the order he should have a word with the bloke and explain why it is wrong to do this. You don't need to report him as he wasn't being malicious.

LouKout · 22/03/2017 08:58

Sending personal texts using your detsils supplied for delivery is more than "being flirty"

Miserylovescompany2 · 22/03/2017 08:59

He was bang out of order...

His behaviour was/is unacceptable especially as he was supposed to be doing his job. Not advertising himself, to everyone that takes his fancy.

CosyCoupe88 · 22/03/2017 09:02

Main thing is you reported it Whixh I think is important :) totally unacceptable of the guy to do what he did and hopefully your complaint will stop him doing it and getting hinself into even more trouble down the line as well as stopping him be a nuisance to people. Who just want a bucket of chicken! !

AllMyBestFriendsAreMetalheads · 22/03/2017 09:16

"DP says Pizza Hut don't do gravy!"

HINBU, KFC gravy is the best thing ever.

I would also have been tempted to 'send pics'. There's some excellent package pictures on another thread somewhere. Terry Wogan perhaps?

SoupDragon · 22/03/2017 09:21

If it were just his phone number and a request t omelet up or whatever, fine.
A request to send photos to social media over steps what is acceptable IMO. He doesn't mean some nice daily holiday snaps does he? Although it must be tempting to bombard him with pictures of kittens.

SoupDragon · 22/03/2017 09:23

Basically, he asked the OP to show him her tits didn't he? Would the people who are saying she's over reacted think that was OK?

(Maybe send wildlife pictures of beavers and great tits instead)

MimsyFluff · 22/03/2017 09:32

If he was a 17 year old builder wolf whistling and handing his number out would that be okay? No difference

Bonez · 22/03/2017 09:44

I don't think it was OTT at all. It stated what he did. What's OTT about that?

HelenaGWells · 22/03/2017 09:46

I would have complained because it would have made me very uncomfortable.

The flirty compliment as you were served I would have probably let slide but the grim "send pics" and social media details I wouldn't have been happy with. He is just a kid and I would have pointed out that I understand this but feel he needs to be made aware that this behaviour isn't appropriate. I don't think it's hysterical to point out that this could be a potential danger to a woman in an abusive relationship. I can quite easily see how a jealous husband could use it to accuse her of "leading him on"

This bit I feel may have made you look a tad insane Further to this I am disgusted to think that your staff are putting non-food and non-regulated items in with people's food. since it is a napkin which is an acceptable non food item to include in ones KFC meal. The rest however is valid.

Did he? Where did he say that?

FumBluff1 · 22/03/2017 09:47

I wouldn't like it and would complain, but thats me.

MistressMerryWeather · 22/03/2017 09:50

Classic.

Arsehole behaves totally inappropriately and now you're feeling bad/embarrassed for complaining about it.

Please don't give it another thought. He will now get a massive bollocking and won't do it again.

All's well that ends well.

Floofborksnootandboop · 22/03/2017 09:51

Did he? Where did he say that?

When he told her to send him pics... he didn't mean her holiday snaps did he.

TheRealPooTroll · 22/03/2017 09:53

I wouldn't have complained. It was a 17 yr old trying his luck. It's not like he's a teacher or doctor or someone in a position of trust - he works in kfc. I imagine the most he'll get in trouble for is slacking off work for a few mins to write the note. The send pics thing is nasty but that's how the kids flirt these days innit. I would probably have set up a fake insragram and send him pics of my husbands butt hole but that's just me.

MistressMerryWeather · 22/03/2017 09:53

No bigbuttons, he didn't say it but do you really think he meant for her to send pictures of her dog/dinner/what's in her fridge?

MistressMerryWeather · 22/03/2017 09:55

Do you have many pictures of your husband's anus, PooTroll?

:o

duxb · 22/03/2017 09:59

Writing the letter is the correct course of action. He didn't just flirt and give you his number, the statement of "send pics" is an overtly sexual request and needs addressing. Better he learns the lesson now as opposed to him continuing his behaviour as he becomes an adult.

PossumInAPearTree · 22/03/2017 09:59

It's everyday sexism imho. Fair enough (maybe) if he'd put his email address on hoping that she'd contact him. But the "send pics" thing is a bit grim. I'd like to think my 16yo Dd is growing up where she can go and get a take away without having to fend off sleaze bags.

TheRealPooTroll · 22/03/2017 10:17

I take some Mistress And I think 'send pics' is vague enough for you to act all innocent and be 'oh you didn't mean of my husbands butt hole? My bad!'

dailydance · 22/03/2017 10:24

I would complain too. He's 17 so clearly has a lot to learn.. hopefully this will teach him about acceptable behaviour towards women instead of demanding them to send pics of their tits (which is pretty much what "send pics" means)

dailydance · 22/03/2017 10:26

If they don't learn that that is not an acceptable way to flirt then they will continue to demand from women into adulthood.

IamFriedSpam · 22/03/2017 10:26

He said if he had randomly found a guys snapchat with 'send pics' on my pocket he would assume I'm messing about.

I'd be pissed off with that comment. Is it so easy to imagine you're messing around?!

That guy does sound like a massive creep though.

Now I can't think of anything but KFC and it's not even lunch time so YABVVVU to make crave chicken this early in the morning.

TheRealPooTroll · 22/03/2017 10:29

Ime it's not just men who do this though. Asking for pics or even just sending them is normal these days. I've no idea why sending them doesn't land you on the sex offenders register as it's basically using technology to flash imo. Glad I did my courting in the days before camera phones.

shyturnip · 22/03/2017 10:36

Totally agree that he needs to learn that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable.
