More anguish....

Just another day back from work. I've worked part-time, so I worked short hours today but I've got alot of hours this week ...which is normally a good thing, except when your me. I go to some of my job sites, and I get ragged on my the customers there...Alameda,California is one place, I swear to God it seems like people shopping in this store walk up to the clerks and, say "Why doesn't he punk him", "Should this guy be working here after all he's a Ho?" I thought I heard some ,customers say this.

I'm getting so tired of this I felt like confronting person, I started to walk up to the counter but I think I saw the offender walk hurriedly out the store. It would be bad for my job for me to confront anybody in an argumentative manner...if the customers don't like me (for some reason cause its not part of my job description to interact with them) then why go to the clerks and complain to them? On the other hand maybe I shouldn't work there anymore and I've talked to my supervisors about this, but they didn't seem to take me seriously so I'm still there after a couple of years. The management at this store in Alameda is the only one where I'm required to wear identification about my job.. I thinks its a good idea but it makes me stick out
like a sore thumb at times when maybe my employers rather I didn't.

I'm only in the store for a few hours at the most once a week. I may not be the best groomed, but I don't stink? Maybe figuratively..its gotten so ugly at some of these work sites I think the clerks end up quitting, or not staying in that store long, and they are young people...so many have left it is tragic. My situation there maybe isn't helping. And its really uncool for people to go up am lay this ugly shit in there lap like there some kind of Father Confessor, those kids working there are hardly in the position to do anything about it, but alot of them do leave. If I left the site perhaps things would improve for the people that work there. But some things are improving..slowly.

But this problem is going on in other favorite sites..So I'm afraid to bring it up with my supervisor, I'll lose alot of job sites/and money, but its becoming a sexual harassment issue and for me its a civil rights issue. Sexual harassment cause that what some of this amounts to is basically some of the clerks say to me after working there.."Hey, maybe you better punk him!"..

A civil rights issue, cause I didn't want to punk anyone when I move into that Hotel, and that wasn't the question. They wanted to punk me, and when I complained to the management, complained to the police and no one did anything, then filed a complaint to the State, ( and they did s.o.m.e.t.h.i.n.g) but that wasn't enough so, I ended up moving out. Now people are saying I have to punk him... its a civil right issue.

The question for me now is whether I should continue my employment in spite of tough and potentially dangerous work situations has things may improve or whether I should leave while the getting is good?
