Call me a paranoid old man if you will, but I think it's a good rule for adults too. My own observation is that more often than not "free" things end up being the most expensive.

Exactly. Assuming that is the case how do you know how the update was processed?

Pay attention. A company Code of Conduct can make it a dismissable offense to ask for a date -- as long as the dismissal is not related to the harasser's own sex, color, religion, et cetera -- it is perfectly legal to fire someone for sexual harassment.
People have even been fired for retaliating against their victims for reporting them to HR, even after the original charge of sexual harassment has been dismissed.
Firing someone becomes a matter of law only when discriminatory firing occurs, and it is not illegal to fire someone who asks for a date from a co-worker while on company property and company time.
Defending sexual harassment and abuse of position makes no sense at all.

Where does it stop though... will i be the next to be accused of some form of harassment based on assumptions... I hope not.
Customers have too much power and employees are too disposable.
Sure the civil bar of sexual misconduct.
I dispute I'm defending sexual harassment, that is simply not the case.

I'm not attacking you. Why do you think that? Couldn't be further from the truth. Just replying
Btw the point was actually about: Just because it is common for upgrades to requiring approval doesn't mean you know if the approval wasn't granted or under what basis the upgrade was given.
Well we don't know the employee. You were bringing up two sides of the law and I was simply commenting.
Criminally there is high threshold for a reason. You suggested other crimes besides harassment, I was commenting on that.
I'm not appealing to emotion. All of this is aledged.
I made it clear she was within her rights to report him after she decided to.
There is also good personal safety advice on this thread.
I don't think the guy would have given an "upgrade" to another man (unless he is gay).
It's pretty obvious the guy wanted something. The question is: how aggressive was he willing to pursue what he "wanted?"
When you're in a place like a hotel, you have to be extra-cautious.
I would say it's quite, quite likely that the guy had a romantic/sexual interest in Summer.
I sensed that from the moment he called to talk to me after I was already in the process of putting things away. Like I said though, I made a habit of avoiding him and letting him do his job. All the while, talking to his manager at the right time because I cannot go somewhere and feel unsafe. I am waiting to hear back from him

Not all companies have a code of conduct and the ones who do won’t all have the same one and will disagree on ideas of conduct
