    Font - AITA for getting a supermarket employee fired after he left a note with his phone number on my wife's windshield? context: wife and I were out shopping at the supermarket yesterday morning, I noticed a guy (he works/ed there) "following" us from spot to spot sort of like checking out my wife? I wasn't sure but he kept trying to start conversations with her by offering to get her xyz products. I felt annoyed plus the guy was roughly 21-22 so 10 years younger then me

    First off, no one should be followed around a store. It's strange behavior to begin with and the type of creepy behavior that should be taken seriously. When we're grocery shopping, we just want to go in and out and can't really be bothered with some random employee acting a bit strange, so we get why the couple didn't pay attention at first.

    Font - once we got our stuff and walked to the parking lot I saw a note with a phone number on the windshielf. I couldn't help but connect the dots as the following: a. this is my wife's car and she's regular shopper so the staff knows her and most likely know her car. I figured it was someone who knew my wife. Wife asked that I throw it away and get in the car but I took the note, walked inside the supermarket and started dialing the number. I wait few seconds and a phone starts ringing. I look

    We knew this would be the moment when OP flipped out. Let a random employee blatantly hit on his wife after stalking the two of them around the store in broad daylight?! Not today, weirdo! OP takes matters into his own hands, which is when sh*t really hits the fan.

    Font - immediately and loudly confront him about leaving a note with his phone number on my wife's windshield, he tries to act dumb asking what I'm talking about. my wife comes inside and says we should go but I refuse. At this point, customers and workers are just staring at us. I demand to see the manager while the guy keeps denying saying he had no idea how his number got there. The manager comes in

    Font - minutes later and I tell him everything. he apologitically agrees it was inappropriate and unprofessional and boarderline harrassement. He then tells the guy to go to the back and then tells me he'll take care of it then further apologizes to my wife.

    Font - later I found out that the guy was fired, my wife said I caused a huge issue for no reason and there was no harm in letting that guy just keep his job. I said she was being unreasonable to think I made him lose his job. she said no but I could've tossed the note instead of making a scene and causing this college stundent (how did she know?) to lose his income when it's a frequent think for guys that age to act like that.

    Font - I don't know because I feel guilty for escalating things to this degree. I feel pethatic honestly and like I acted out of insecurity and anger. AITA?

Also, I strongly suspect that this must've been the last straw for him getting fired. I'm sure since this guy is so unprofessional that the manager has been just waiting for an offense large enough to fire him. So don't blame yourself.

    Font - slavuj00 · 1 hr. ago As a woman, I have so often "not wanted to make a fuss" and would have done the same thing as OP's wife. However, I think it's important someone pushed back on behaviour like this, nipping it in the bud before it got more dangerous. NTA, OP. I think you did the right thing.

    Human body - Shastakine · 1 hr. ago Wife feels uncomfortable for the same reason most women do: she fears retribution from an unknown man. I'm glad her husband stood up for her. OP, NTA.

    Font - donkeyinamansuit · 3 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [20] NTA. Your wife might not feel violated, but think about this. This time he followed a woman around the store and then left a note on her car. What if next time he follows a woman home? He absolutely needs to learn that he cannot behave that way.

    Organism - Nekawaii19· 34 min. ago THIS! The employee is deranged. Who the hell does he think he is to give a woman his number while she's with her husband after following her all over the store? Like, did he think she'd be "Teehee! It's that weirdo's phone! He is so hot, I need to call him ASAP!"?
