This is so true, it's just a different world nowadays.

Do tell!

True, but the trouble is, I suspect, that having reported it (does she have time to do it there and then, or will it get left to the end of a shift), what's the comeback on the perpertrator? He's probably long gone, anonymous, and thinking he's got away with it. It's not quite the same as an action by a colleague seen on a regular basis.

I think I'd be tempted to whisper something extremely rude and slightly threatening to the perpertrator, just to let them know it wasn't acceptable, and then move on. If he wants to complain, he's got to explain what prompted it. (This is purely my idea of good revenge by the way, not advice!)

That's a fair retort. My argument was not to commonly assault someone following the incident. When it's one persons word against another no matter what the incident is its going to be hard to prove with witnesses/evidence so I think it doesn't just relate to sexual harassment it relates to everything in the walk of life.

However I would say that if it was a posh do then chances are they would be a formal guest list or even cctv so the perpetrator could be sought and pointed out.

Slapping and booze-throwing aren't the only options for grown-ups though are they? What's wrong with just saying, 'Excuse me, please don't do that,' in a loud and sarcastic voice then? Polite but humiliating? If it loses her the job, who'd want to work for a company like that anyway.

I suspect that quite a lot of the thrill of groping women is actually a form of sadism. The perpetrator knows that his victim is not in a position to do very much about it. A very nasty power trip.
