    emptywheel Retweeted Jane Mayer

    I worked in a supermarket as a kid, too, as a cashier. I refused to submit to the sexual harassment of the managers, who'd spend time w/favored cashiers in their private offices. So I got the shittiest, busiest checkout aisles. The bagboys like me for that tho. And harassed me.https://twitter.com/JaneMayerNYer/status/1045334973287473153 …

    Prof. Ford says She saw Mark Judge after the assault, working at Potomac Village Safeway. In Judge’s book, Wasted, p 93 he describes working”as a bag boy in a local supermarket.”

        As we watch the kind of sexual abuse inherent to a kind of drunken elite culture (one I lived as a kid, too), important to remember that the forms it takes in less affluent communities can be far, far worse.

        bagged groceries in high school as well. the older managers were awful to the high school girl cashiers, and this was at the height of the anita hill story.

        I'm older than that. But one thing I keep thinking about is that the managers who were harassing the other girl cashiers moonlighted as cops. They let us buy beer though, so there was that.

        That testimony rang true! I was a stock clerk and bag boy myself. The culture you describe is exactly right. I remember it well. Names, faces, situations. It was the late 70s.

        No one should have to endure that situation, Marcy. Everything about that is awful.

        The fact Repubs are not interviewing Mark Judge and not calling for an FBI investigation makes it clear they believe Dr. Ford and fear her testimony.
