A young waitress at a high-end restaurant is facing ongoing harassment from a man known as the "Easter Man." His unwanted attention began when she was just 15 and has intensified over the last three years, raising significant safety alarms.
The situation dates back to Easter Sunday 2022 when the man approached her at work, dressed sharply in a suit while carrying a carton of chicken eggs. What started as innocent small talk quickly shifted to intrusive questions about her personal life and inappropriate touching.
Despite restaurant management's efforts to protect her during Easter 2023โincluding not allowing her near himโthe stalker tracked her outside the restaurant. He was reported to have followed her both on foot and in his car. Management remains aware but has yet to issue a formal ban against him, citing that he is a walk-in guest.
"If it happens again, my manager said sheโll help me with a police report," the waitress indicated, reflecting her growing concern.
As Easter 2025 approaches, the waitress has taken extra precautions, including avoiding peak hours at work. Conversations on forums have sparked a mix of disbelief regarding the restaurantโs handling of the situation. Many people express frustration that he has not been banned outright.
Several comments reveal additional insights into the waitress's situation. One commenter noted, "Unfortunately, tasers are illegal, same as pepper spray Iโm legally allowed to carry a corkscrew in my pocket as part of my uniform." This highlights the limited options available for personal defense in her work environment.
Another commenter mentioned, "Lots of teens get jobs at that age in the USA. Not every state requires a work permit." This underscores that young workers often face unique vulnerabilities like the waitress's.
Additionally, one forum member stated, "I just got my rota; Iโll ask my coworkers if he comes in," indicating support from other staff members as they remain vigilant.
๐น Management confirmed awareness but hasnโt banned the stalker.
๐น Many urge the waitress to document each incident for potential legal action.
๐น Suggestions include obtaining a restraining order for her safety.
This ongoing saga sheds light on the pressing need for stronger safety measures in workplaces and public spaces, reflecting an ongoing dialogue about harassment and accountability. Will the waitress find the support she needs before another encounter?
As Easter 2025 nears, concerns for her safety remain paramount, amplifying calls for institutional reform and community support for those facing persistent harassment.
