My coworker mentioned she was groped/fondled by another woman (passing customer) when she was stocking the canned foods ailes for a big box store.
It's unfortunate how frequent this seems to happen to women. So it sparked the question, have you ever been groped while at work by customers or fellow coworkers?

Working as a waiter I was regularly groped by women
Not as fun as it sounds.
Other waiters from the same waitering agencies received even more daring advances. Often from older married women.
I used to work in a night club back in the day so not a fair comparison. I was groped pretty frequently.
I worked at PetSmart in high school and there was a girl a little older than me who was always grabbing my ass and making comments. I eventually had to confront her about it and she *did* eventually stop.
I used to be a bouncer at a bar. I’ve been fondled a few times by rich drunk soccer moms that couldn’t handle their liquor.
Why is this being asked in a forum for men
I may be old (61) but I’m in great shape. I’m no bodybuilder, but noticeably muscular. I’m retired and I work part time in a large used furniture store to stay busy. I’m constantly moving, loading, and unloading furniture. And yes, my arms have been groped in a “ooh I want to feel those muscles” kind of way. I also get inappropriate comments from lady customers (They’re alway like 50 and up) especially during warm weather when I wear short sleeves and shorts. I take it as compliments, but it would be wildly inappropriate for a customer to make comments like some I’ve heard to a woman employee.
I’ve heard stories from other coworkers and friends. Ass slapping and grabbing. Some people got beat up. One stabbed. I’ve only had women rub their boobs on me. I ain’t complaining.
Worked as a carry out in high school at a Safeway, get the carts and help customers outside with their groceries. The little old ladies that were probably in their 60s and 70s that come in on a Saturday morning did not know how to keep their hands to themselves. I’d purposely put the cart between myself and them. Any time my ass was to them there was a hand on it, once I thought I’d turn and face one of them thinking it stop them but no, she hit my junk so hard I’m not sure how my kids were conceived.
Wasn’t all bad though, there was this lady that come in who was probably in her mid-late 30s, short shorts, tramp stamp, and a thong that was always visible. She’d always ask for help out and then bend over in all the good ways. Damn near became a teenage father because of her… Yes I’m aware of the double standard here, 16 year old me did not care one bit.
I didn’t think this is fitting your criteria but I’d like to add my experience: working at a grocery store in a small town, I’ve had a couple of female customers (50s?) grab my (18-21ish at the time) butt…
Then working at Pizza Hut, my female coworker, probably my age (21 at the time), grabbed both cheeks and squeezed… She had a boyfriend and I wasn’t flirting so I didn’t believe I was egging that on…
Nope never
Why the specific question about working at a big box store and then “or at your job site”? The latter obviously includes the former.
Anyway, no, never a woman at a worksite, but a guy I worked with did it twice. The first time, I pushed him away and told him to piss off. The second time, I punched him, which knocked him down. That ended it.
I’ve had a girlfriend’s sister grope my thighs, which I made clear was not okay; she claimed she was just joking. She wasn’t, but it didn’t happen again.
Also, the wife of a friend I knew socially did it (grabbed my ass with both hands), and I (like the other incident) made it clear to her never to do it again. She was a fucking hypocrite – frequently going on tangents about how men were almost all creeps, and treating her husband like shit if he so much as talked to a woman.
I worked at a grocery store and experienced this. Usually it was women 50+, I found that they were very shameless in the ways they would make advances. One time this lady grabbed me from behind while I was stocking and felt me up like really ran her hands over my chest and all she had to say was “oh sorry I thought you were someone else.” Always wondered who she thought I was.
As a ex bouncer yes. once by an elderly man, and literally countless times by women.
Yep to groped while working. Delivering pizzas to a club in downtown San Antonio (the Bonham, iirc) and had my ass grabbed a couple times while trying to find where to drop them off.
I didn’t enjoy it, but it didn’t stress me out, as I knew it wouldn’t go any further. I’m a really large guy and was in great shape… There was basically no chance anyone could force me to do anything.
Mine was mainly sexual remarks when working in a bar, I was 18 but could pass easily for 14/15. Guys would ask how I was old enough to work there, women old enough to be my mum would say very sexual things to embarrass me (I’m autistic)
Been groped on nights out and literally every night out involved “let me try your glasses on” before having them grabbed off my face before about 2 words of that had been uttered, glasses then passed around the group and “how do you see through them?” Because I have virtually no sight in one eye
17, working at the home of the blue light special in isle x. As a guy you never expect your manage to grope youwhile your up on The ladder, he was married talked about his wife and kids, did not see it coming. First and only time i worked the close restock shift, the store scheduler called my house for three weeks wanting to know if i was coming back after leaving sick that night.
I was groped at work by a female co-worker after a meeting – she was 8 years younger than me and sought my professional guidance in order to improve her work performance.
We’ve been married for 25 wonderful years.
