Another day at Mettler's, another fucking loser from rural Minnesota, sitting around for hours and days, expecting dancers to give him their time and attention for very little money. Another day in a strip club, another disgusting man benefiting from the capitalist patriarchy and punishing those who do not comply.

Scott Harkema introduced himself as “Asshole” to most people. He is from Janesville, Minnesota, which is not too far of a drive from Mankato. He has “Asshole” embroidered on various articles of his clothing, and his garage is labeled “Asshole's Garage.” The nickname suits him well.

When I first started working at Mettler’s, Scott and I started talking about traumatic brain injury. I was going through a personal injury lawsuit from my traumatic brain injury, and he went through one already. For these reasons, in the beginning, I felt the emotions of pity and kinship with Scott. However, he began slandering a dancer named Ryder because she allowed him to take photographs of her in his vehicle repair shop, and then for whatever reason, she wanted nothing to do with him. Scott's conversations with me increasingly turned to him trying to get me to let him take photographs of me in his automobile shop, which included a stripper pole. I was becoming annoyed with this, and his unwillingness to spend much money in my workplace. So, I decided to completely cut off communication with him and pretend like he wasn't there.

After I cut off communication with Scott in my workplace, he would spend his time sitting around with newer strippers, referring to me as a “bitch” and trying to get my manager Jan to discipline me for not smiling more. For whatever reason, my managers Jan and Woody, as well as the Maes family, gave Scott Harkema a free pass to behave this way, even though most customers were not allowed to behave that way. He had been coming to Mettler’s for years and cycling through dancers like that. This contributed to the sexual harassment portion of the lawsuit.
