Then most importantly,
I don't brush my teeth or shower for a couple days. That usually wards them off...
Now that is a good idea! But I'm pretty sure that he would get a complaint from the customers because he smells bad if he doesn't shower for a couple days. lol

How about this one, what's the BIG FRIGGIN Deal?
She's a bored girl at work, that happens to like married/hard to get. Just because she felt your bicep, doesn't mean your going to wind up in the back of her car/at her house, some how. Nor does it break any sacred bonds of marriage I'm aware of.
If she actually says something inappropriate, or jumps on you for a piggyback ride, yea, I'd probably tell someone at that point. I just don't see a reason to stiff arm the girl in the face, cause she's flirting %%. You obviously have the power to say no. Control yourself, and you will be fine. Just because she might ask you to grab a bite to eat, doesn't mean you have to go. And gasp, probably could have some fun yourself. Should have said something smart, "You probably could lift like two of you, together, at the same time" with a big smirk on your face. Would have made her day...

"Jennifer, maybe you didn't know I'm a happily married man who doesn't cheat on any level. Jennifer, no flirting, and no touchy feelie behavior, please. Enough said. Lets just act professional."
If that doesn't work, then you go to the boss.
Good for you, Year...Nick, to be concerned about this!

Dude, be a man, and ignore it.
Unfortunately, this is what some men would do. Do you want your wife or girlfriend to ignore being felt up by some low-class at work?

because of the sexual harrassment laws your best mentioning it to your boss before you say ANYTHING to her. becuase if she complains first after you shoot her down, anything you say is going to be too late. you could lose your job if she makes a complaint even if its complete BS. some People turn really nasty when flat out rejected.
do not confront her first. talk to your boss. its really your safest option.

You could alway bring up the story about" how you spent time in prison for beating a girlfriend"...Or comment on how Valtr3x has made your life easier..she will definitely stay away from....as will everyone else. Seriously....though, was it the touching that bothered you or the comments?
I usually just ignore it, and then, in a round about public way, express that I think very low of people that hit on or become involved with married people.....since those people have no dignity or respect for the fact they might be breaking up a family and inflicting huge amounts of emotional anguish on little children needlessly. All, just because they can't find a single person that is willing to sleep with them with no strings attached..

She's 29, going through a divorce and has a 10 year old child. She has to wear turtlenecks to work because her tattoo's go up her neck.
Something even more weird happened yesterday too... She called the store as she was leaving her shift and when I answered, she said "You know those two b!tches that just walked through the door? Don't give them anything but decaf."
I figured these two ladies probably knew Jennifer and would have laughed at her comments to me over the phone. When the two ladies ordered, I asked if they knew Jennifer, they said they had no idea who she was - they said they lived 45 minutes away and this is their first visit to our Starbucks. Now that's just weird.

If I went running to the boss every time I felt uncomfortable at work I would have been fired long ago. When I said Be a man ignore it. It means have some thick skin. Look as someone who hold more traditional values he has an entirely different moral set than she does. And I don't know if you've ever worked in the food industry but it is awash with morally devoid people. You're going to have a culture clash. Or they are going to look at you as a target. I can't tell you how many times I've seen girls go after christians just to get them to abandon their morals. It was a contest.
The real and ultimate goal is proselytization. Right?
How is that going to go down if you flat out confront her, or go file a harrasment complaint?
Do the same thing you'd do as a pastor taking steps to not provide an opportunity for something to happen.
DON'T BE ALONE with her.
Keep your distance, (it take 2 people to do anything)
If you do this it should cover you for the most part. And remember 2ndly some girls just have NO CLUE when it comes to their bodies, what they are wearing and what kind of vibes they are giving off. momma never taught.
Now I'm NOT saying that anything goes, but this isn't that big of a deal. You just know now this might be later.
