More sexual harassment complaints are filed in restaurants than in any other places of business, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In a 2014 report by the Restaurant Opportunities Centers of New York, 65 percent of female restaurant workers surveyed said they had experienced sexual harassment by customers. The report also found that women who work in restaurants faced sexual harassment from customers at twice the rate of their male co-workers, and that for many women surveyed, harassment by customers had a stronger negative effect than what they experienced from colleagues.
