Styling Shenanigans.Candy,who operated a hair and nail salon called "Up Sweep," had a crush on Bruce,a stylist there.He paid her no attention.Finally,Candy told him that to get her approval of his new blow dryer request,he needs to take her on a date and give her a kiss.Bruce reluctantly did so.When they returned to work,Candy proceeded to make suggestive comments to Bruce in front of other employees and to request that he rub her shoulders.When she passed Bruce's station,she would caress him while he worked.Candy also decided that Robert was cute,and she showered him with the same type of attention.Robert enjoyed the attention,but Bruce was offended and filed a claim against Candy for sexual harassment.Bruce asked Robert to join in on the claim.Robert said that it personally never bothered him; but that if Bruce can collect,then he wants in on the action.Bruce told Robert that he is going to see a psychologist to substantiate his claim and that Robert should consider doing likewise.Robert tells him that he has no interest in seeing a psychologist but that his case is as strong as Bruce's.Robert says that while he found Candy entertaining,in all fairness,he should be able to recover if Bruce does so.What type of harassment was involved in Candy's indication to Bruce that if he wanted a new blow dryer,then he needed to take her out on a date?
