The problem is basically this…
There is a snotty little kid where I work that wont leave me alone. I noticed her on day 1 when they arrived at the hotel. She kept making a point of looking away whenever I looked in her direction. A couple of the other staff even picked up on it and joked at me that it was my lucky night.
Since then, we have had a mini golf competition, and the kid was one of the competitors, she has since found her voice and now spends her time following me about.
I think the parents are aware, the kid keeps being told “leave the man alone” by the parents, but they could be blind to it and just think she is a pest.
Long story short… I like my job, and my freedom, and because of the nature of my job, shit could get real ugly real fast. It would not be too hard for the kid corner me alone in a couple of areas and times of the day, and the emotional volatility of young teens coupled with a swim suit environment could potentially cause problems.
For now, I have informed the hotel director and am ignoring the kid, and statistically will be more than able to figure out by my self how to get thrugh the week without problems.
It just makes me very uncomfortable, and am wondering what tricks of the trade and tips there are on the problem.
I know all the obvious stuff… if she tells me she cant swim I don’t try to teach her by touching her in any way, if some other little kid needs the bathroom and the parents are not around you let the kid piss his pants, and you always ask for ID when someone that looks young asks for booze.
I guess what I’m really looking for, is traps I should watch out for. e.g. upsetting the kid causing her to tell the parents I tried to touch her or something.
EDIT: This post added as the lack of answers and topic were starting to freak me out.
(I can’t even enjoy walking in the park alone if there are kids there now days, not with everything in the news all the time)
