Sexual Harassment Severe And Pervasive During A Five-Week Period.

During five weeks when a store manager was on leave, a 21-year-old cashier was subjected to rumors she had a sexually transmitted disease and that she and a co-worker were having a sexual relationship and suggestions she could make more money as a stripper.  In one incident, she was turned around by the assistant manager who said to her:  “Show your butt to the customers and that way you can sell more.”  The Court of Appeal affirmed judgment in favor of the plaintiff, noting the workplace was “permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insult.”  Fuentes v. Autozone, Inc. (Cal. App. Second Dist., Div. 4; November 16, 2011) 200 Cal.App.4th 1221.
