I(17 f) work at a restaurant. It's small but usually pretty busy, but I chose to be in the back, doing dishes and cooking. Ever since I was little, I've had problems with speech, which led to severe social anxiety. This is my first ever job and I've been there for about 2 ish months. I'm still getting used to everyone. It takes me longer due to past trauma with strangers. There's this guy at work who has been antagonizing me, I had one shift where he needed to train me, but I messed up a sandwich order, and I didn't serve it. I fixed the mistake, he went on the other side with the other employees and I heard him call me a dumba$$. I wasn't familiar with making the sandwiches.That whole night, he talked so much crap and thought he was slick. I heard it all. I get annoyed. He tells me to clean while orders start piling up.This dude Flirting with the girl on pizzas, so i stop what im doing, and I do all the orders,he gets mad at me. He told my boss that I cut bread without placing it on the cutting board, and same as cucumbers? I've only cut cucumbers with that guy working with me. I used the cutting board. So, is this guy trying to make me look stupid? The same day, I heard the guy complain about people working only two days next week, I was the person he was talking about. I asked for 3 days off because I had a colonoscopy. It sucked btw. So i get more annoyed because this man is just assuming and not minding his business. I have stomach issues. Yesterday I was at AT&T and my boss was there and saw me saying, "Hey, you going to try speaking today?". Does he not know how antagonizing that sounds?. I talk at work when I NEED to, I don't think I'm better than anyone. I just struggle with holding conversations and talking to new people. It makes me uncomfortable that they keep on pushing it. Once I'm comfortable, I'll open up. But you can't expect me to get to that point while pushing it. The other shift manager understood why I was really quiet. I actually opened up to her because she didn't push me. She encouraged me when I learned new things. I cleaned the grill for the first time the other day, and she was so excited about how clean it was for my first try. She made all the employees look at it. It was funny. I also had a shift yesterday, and he was on pizzas while I was on the grill. I heard him say my name more than 5 times. My mother said he might have a crush on me, I told her that would be very weird... He's in his 20s at least, and I'm also a lesbian. I glared at him a few times after hearing him get mad that I wouldn't talk. I talked when orders were ready, and if I had questions, other than that, I was doing my job. He kept the shi talking for the 5 hours I was there but what really upset me is that he left this dude around me age doing pizzas all by his self when on the other side of the restaurant in the back he's on his phone. This guy gets shift manager and thinks he's better than everyone. AITA?
