4 years ago I was harassed and bullied at a job. I switched to a different store and never went back.
My Mom insisted we go back into that location last year and told me those people probably don't work there anymore. We saw the person I didn't want to see the most.
Last October 2022 he shows up at my current work place. I keep pretending I don't know him until he says I know you remember, I come here to shame you.
So I started hiding when he came and didn't think about it too much. I was promoted and a few weeks ago I overheard an employee telling him she hears you coming and hides. The next day he comes back and another employee refused to wait on him. They also had to point out that the general manager thought he was cute.
I get really freaked out and remember all the things he put me through and call the domestic violence hotline. They referred me to a lawyer for help with a restraining order. Lots of running in circles and they tell me I can't proceed without his last name.
The police told me as a supervisor I can get anyone trespassed for any reason. The owners told me I was not to call the police on him. So I could only get his name from his debit card. He was there twice this week and the second time I was confirming with the other supervisor that it was him again.
An employee interrupted and told me he wasn't there to see me and it was not stalking if he just used the drive thru. I told her it was none of her business and she started screaming at me. I was having a PTSD response/anxiety attack, so I kept telling her to stop I was not able to control my anger. I eventually personally attacked her in a way that I am not proud of as a feminist. I even used what Brene Brown calls shame language.
The owner didn't fire either of us but I feel like I should have been fired for what I said to her. I was extremely mean. She way should be fired for attacking me personally as her supervisor.
I have comorbid mental health problems and don't understand why someone would stalk someone they know struggles as much as I do.
