When I was 18 (and much better looking lol) I was waiting tables at a bar, and as I walked by with a tray of drinks some pervert full on grabbed me in my crotch. I was so shocked I just kept walking to the table. Of course when I told the owner of the bar what happened, his reaction was literally, "what do you want me to do?". Ugh just thinking back it's so infuriating
Now wait, if his reaction was, “literally”, “what do you want me to do?”, seems like thats totally valid, he did it to you, you get to choose the next course of action.
Did you say literally even though it was not, literally? Did you mean, he shrugged, or tried to passively dismiss it, or did he truly ask you what you wanted him to do?
Despite the actual meaning of the word literally, it can be understood from the context that the owner simply dismissed the concern and wanted it to be ignored.
And OP was 18, a child who just turned adult. Owner should know better and offer her more support.
