Yes, at my first two jobs, unfortunately. I think for most women the question of assault and/or sexual harassment isn't a question of "if" but "when was the first time."

And unfortunately it's also so many times that you've lost count. What you can probably count, though, is the times you've said "no," and suffered negative consequences.
First job was at a movie theater where the manager openly spoke of his desire for all the teen/HS girls he'd hired, and got them to do photo shoots; called me names for not wanting any part of it.
Second was as a cashier at a burrito place. One day when it got slow, everyone suddenly left except one guy, who physically cornered me, put his face a few inches from mine, and demanded that I date him.
And then it just continued from there. Yesterday someone suggested in my mentions that I could become a prostitute.
