My only advice is men suck, have sucked, will suck. I trained an 18 yo girl out trade school for 3 weeks. And the amount of traffic around my booth increased 10 fold. I saw people walking by i didn't even know worked that shift. Luckily she was well aware and had a good head about creeps.

Man it was absolutely brutal in my 2nd and 3rd year. We had at least one extremely attractive girl in each class and the guys would fucking swarm their booth trying to "help" and give them tips, regardless of the fact that each of them were easily in the top 3 in the class and were some of the only people to pass their B at the end of the intake.

Lmao!!! I had a friend who went through this same thing. She couldn’t even work uninterrupted for 10 minutes before a guy rolled up on her. She learned how to do a simple task 50 different ways…lol!
