>>47197233>his asking could be interpreted as flirting or just being a jackass (given the context of her age and the product, both scenarios would be sexual harassment of a minor.)no, it really wouldn't. Sounds like it was just an off hand comment without any thought put into it.
>Perhaps the girl wanted to buy the product in-person at the store so she would feel "grown-up". Or maybe her mother dragged her to the store with her, to buy the product, so she could familiarize herself with buying them herself later on. Regardless, the sales clerk induced unnecessary trauma for an experience that should have been routine. And rather than leaving the store feeling empowered and within control of her life situation, she left embarrassed and traumatized. The salesclerk made the girl feel ashamed of herself, not only for her bodily experience, but also as a human being. The responsibility of the salesclerk is to make feel patrons feel welcomed, not victimized.That's the fault of the girl for being a pussy.
