    Lewd comments. Sexual overtures. Groping. Restaurant servers put up with a lot in pursuit of the tips they need to make a living, constantly deciding where to draw the line.http://nyti.ms/2tAd3A8

        Working for tips means that each shift comes with questions that don’t apply to millions of other workers around the country: How much money will I make and how much will I tolerate to make it? http://nyti.ms/2Ihy1qR pic.twitter.com/OZcNO2hRgS

        Dana Angelo gave a start when a man reached up her skirt and grabbed her. But she stifled a scream, afraid to make a scene. "I was looking at $200 in tips.'' http://nyti.ms/2tJ0ZfY pic.twitter.com/1me1K70Yyn

        “Most of my day is geared towards how is a man going to feel about me. How can I maximize tips without feeling overly sexualized by my guests?” asks Ashley Lewis, who is grateful for the work but conflicted about what it entails. http://nyti.ms/2ImSsmg pic.twitter.com/xei2lgzYNK

        Managers can protect workers by switching a server’s table or asking an offending customer to leave. But even for bosses with good intentions, sexual harassment from customers is difficult to police.http://nyti.ms/2FB8UxI

        Servers ignore comments about their bodies, laugh off propositions and deflect behavior that makes them uncomfortable — all in pursuit of the tip that will help buy groceries or pay the rent. http://nyti.ms/2tSAcOL pic.twitter.com/SnxjlnPhV4

        These casual environments where alcohol lightens the mood and erodes boundaries prompt restaurant workers to ask: How much money will I make, and how much will I tolerate to make it? http://nyti.ms/2tIoyWt pic.twitter.com/nUzS55jVUg

        We also wanted to hear from you. Readers described the pressure to tolerate harassing behavior in order to earn tips. Especially telling? Many of you said the money made it worthwhile.http://nyti.ms/2u0vPRv

        I've been in the kitchen industry for more than 25 years. I've worked FOH and BOH, and I've seen only about three instances of 'harassment'. The GM is in charge of who to allow service to. It's that simple. Stop trying to make it something else.

        It's not that simple. In most daily life situations it's happening so sattle that the waitresses have barely any proof for their claims.

        So you're talking about uncomfortable conversations? Yes. This is the real world. They happen. If a server is feeling uncomfortable, a good GM will as the customer to either leave or change their attitude. It's really not that hard to figure out.

        That's true that not every GM is a good one. That's why it's our responsibility to choose healthy work environments. There are gross people everywhere-- both men and women.

        Listen, people working service jobs because you can’t get better paying work, it’s up to you to choose healthy work environments (based on what you see before you start working). Until then, it’s better to stay unemployed.

        I slapped a guy's hand away with my order pad as he went to touch me and his wife thought it was hilarious. I needed the job to supplement my TEACHING salary while my kids were in college, but enough's enough.
