I was not surprised to read on the Canadian Press wire recently that sexual barrassment is becoming the most prevalent kind of complaint which the Ontario Human Rights Commission receives these days. Nor was I surprised to learn that the greatest number of such complaints come from women in the service industry, industry, particularly waitresses. Waitresses are in an insidious insidious position, not just when it comes to drunken Lotharios, but in regard to many of the standard benefits of the Canadian workplace. Most people imagine imagine that waitresses manage to cheat the income tax on tips, but Revenue Canada knows as much about the tip structure in this Country as those on the receiving end, and if there evef was a tax advantage in that kind of cash income, it has long since vanished. And when you consider that many of the fringe benefits available to waitresses are based on the straight salary, without the gratuities added in, the financial security is hardly breath-taking. The males who feel that waitresses are fair targets for sexual advances they wouldn'J dream of making to wives or girlfriends, if they have any, are just the iclhg on the cake after eight, tiring hours of being cheerful on your feet. It's hard to understand why some of the jerks I've seen making passes in restaurants could possibly imagine that they'd be attractive, attractive, to anyone. What is it about being a customer in a restaurant which makes them imagine they are ir- resistable? Is it a lousy two dollar tip on thirty dollars worth of food and drink? Naturally, it is the youngest and prettiest girls who are the major targets for legions of middle-aged slobs. According to the Human Rights Commission, it's not just dirty, jokes, and propositioning, propositioning, long after the waitress has demonstrated that she's not interested, but "actual physical grabbing." The Commission describes some of the evidence it has received as "blatant and terrible" proof of sexual har- rassment. Younger girls in particular don't know how to handle it. Do you put the patron in his place, brutally, brutally, in front of the friends he's trying to impress, and kill the chance of any tip at all on an hour's hard work? Do you complain to the boss, and run the risk of being branded as a trouble-maker? Or do you put up with filth and go home at night feeling slightly sick to your stomach? The more I hear about this kind of thing, the more I'd like to get a part-time job as a bouncer. I wouldn't charge for the part on tpe sidewalk. I'd do that for nothing.
