A young waitress at a Michelin-starred restaurant has reported an escalating pattern of unwanted attention from a man dubbed the "Easter Man." The harassment started when she was just 15 and has persisted for nearly three years, raising serious safety concerns.
The saga began on Easter Sunday in 2022 when the man entered the restaurant wearing a suit, carrying a carton of eggs. Initially friendly, his demeanor shifted to intrusive questioning about personal life. After multiple visits, his behavior became inappropriate, culminating in physical contact and unwelcome advances.
The stalking continued into Easter 2023, where management took extra measures to protect her. Yet, the man followed her outside the restaurant, sparking concern among coworkers. This year, she has taken extra precautions, avoiding the restaurant during peak times and notifying management about his past behavior. As Easter 2025 approaches, the waitress remains on high alert.
"Iโve set boundaries, and theyโve helped, but I still feel unsafe."
Management has shown support, ensuring she remains clear of the stalker, but unanswered questions loom. Commenters on various forums have urged the importance of official documentation and police involvement.
โYou need to document everything,โ suggested a commentator regarding her encounters.
โHave you considered getting a restraining order? His behavior is alarming.โ
โWhy hasn't the restaurant banned him yet?โ raised another user, questioning managementโs commitment to safety.
Curiously, despite her clear discomfort and the manager's awareness, the stalker still lingers in the area, potentially emboldened by inaction.
๐น Management is aware, yet no formal ban exists on the stalker.
๐น The community has urged thorough documentation of incidents for future legal steps.
๐น Many commenters recommend personal safety measures, including self-defense classes.
With Easter 2025 looming, this ongoing harassment case raises a pivotal question: How can victims effectively ensure their safety in public spaces?
This troubling narrative highlights the need for better protection mechanisms for individuals facing persistent harassment.
