"Ever since we moved to Novato in the nearby Hamilton community I have done my shopping at this store and have generally had a good experience shopping here. The staff have always been helpful and friendly to me. Not too long ago a new worker. John, started working there as one of the people in charge of collecting the shopping carts. He wasn 't shy at all approaching me and engaging me in conversation which made me a bit uncomfortable mostly because his conversation was centered around asking personal questions like, am I married? and other questions on that same level. I have always been polite and mostly just tried to end the conversation quickly and move on. He generally follows me to the parking lot or makes sure he is out there when he sees I am in line and then engages me in conversation outside. Recently he started doing this thing where he says I look sad and asks if I need a hug and then opens his arms ands moves towards me closely. This is way outside my level of comfort and the first two times I literally ducked out of his path and quickly raced to my car. This last time he did the same thing outside asking if I need a hug and I stopped him and assertively told him that it made me uncomfortable when he did that. He stopped and gave me a strange look and said fine and turned around and then under his breath but loud enough to for me to hear said what do you expect with (you know what 's) that look like that Obviously the you know what 's is my nicer way of replacing what he really said. I finally told my husband what I had been going through at the store with this guy and my husband was very calm and supportive. A couple of days later my husband told me that his nephew helped find out more about the Safeway worker and learned he had been fired from a previous job for similar type of behavior with a mentally challenged girl. My husband asked me if I wanted him to get involved but I said I would handle it because I wasn 't sure how I wanted to resolve the issue. That 's where I am at right now. I am just surprised that Safeway brought someone in to work there with that on their work history record. I may just avoid the store for awhile which is too bad because it is very convenient and really like all the other workers there."
