Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Washington
Sexual Harassment involving customers
Sexual Harassment states for employees and schools. Does it include customers of an employee from a large retailer?I was at Mcdonalds with my family and in front of me a employee made the most disgusting sexual comment about females private parts while he was at the front counter. I was humiliated and disgusted as well as felt degraded. Thank you.

Re: Sexual Harassment involving customers
Yes, the facts as you describe them may be illegal. You should call the Washington State Human Rights Commission or a lawyer, or both. The Olympia HRC office is at (360) 753-6770. There are offices in Seattle, Yakima, and Spokane as well.
