TW: SA/SH. One time when I was a kid I worked in a restaurant. Little Italian restaurant, mom and pop kinda place. I was sexually assaulted by the chef who grabbed my butt and felt me up, and sexually harassed by someone else in the kitchen. I was so shocked, I was like 18 years old and i didn’t know what to do. One day in the kitchen soon after all these things happened, both of the men were talking about me in the kitchen and I went in there and loaded a tray full of food to bring out to the dining room. As I picked up the tray, one of the kitchen guys said something disgusting about my body and so inappropriate. I looked at him straight in the eye, dropped the tray onto the floor and the dishes crashed everywhere, and walked the fuck out and never went back.

Loud quit. Right there. Fuck those people. And fuck the sexual assault and harassment that happens in the restaurant industry, all the time.
