I Am Afraid For My Friend’s Safety And Don’t Know What To Do.

Location: South Dakota.

Me and my friends (we’re all 16) were hanging out for most of today. When I dropped one of them off, my other friend mentioned something that deeply unsettled me. She currently works at a restaurant for the summer and told me about a coworker of hers asking her one day if she was “a big spoon or little spoon”. mind you, this guy was an adult man who, to her, looked to be in his thirties. I obviously thought this was weird, but apparently this guy (who she barely works with) calls her sweetheart, hugs her after work, etc. Creepy behavior on its own. THEN she tells me that just last week, as she was heading to a friend’s for a sleepover, she got a notification on her phone about an AirTag following her. Nobody in her house uses any apple products. It was tucked into her bag. Immediately she grabbed it and threw it away (somewhere at her work). She tells me all this not thinking it’s a big deal. Everyone else at the restaurant just says things like “he’s just like that” or “that’s normal”. To me? Fucking horrifying. I told her how scared I was and asked to sleep over, as I thought she’d at least feel better with company (all of her family members are gone on a trip), but she just declined and said she had a bat and door locks. Just typing this I also remembered her saying something about how her superiors wouldn’t hire her younger sister because she “had large boobs and would get harassed by the guys”. So it seems to me that management KNOWS this is an issue and refuses to do anything about it. I am so genuinely worried for her safety and all she tells me is that she doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it. I do, however, so what can I do (or suggest she do) to get this guy away from her.
