No means No in Español.....

This definitely surpasses anything I've experienced at Wal-mart. Today I was asked to help a Hispanic man in his early 40s. He was trying to find a shovel handle, so I took him out to lawn and garden where we keep the shovels....And we didn't have any handles. When I tried to tell him(in the most broken Spanish you've ever heard) that we didn't have shovel handles, he grabbed my arm really hard. He really latched on to my arm and started to jerk me towards him! My hair fell into my face *due to him jerking me forward* and he was trying to move my hair away from my face so he could *get this* KISS ME!!! He was pulling me towards him, I was screaming NO! *No is a universal word---HE KNEW WHAT THIS MEANT! Yet he proceeded to jerk my arms and when he finally realized it was not going to happen-he kissed my arm and I jerked free and started walking away...*a very fast walk*

This was SO scary! The guy left marks on my arm, and was very strong. I thought about pushing him, kneeing him in the junk, punching him, but I knew that he was a lot stronger than me and we were the only two people outside in lawn and garden. The audacity of some people! I don't care if he couldn't speak English, he knew what he was doing was wrong!
