“Bev cart girls,” or golf cart beverage attendants who are most often women, are popular on social media for sharing glimpses of what it’s like on the job, often taking viewers along as they ride their cart.
However, some have also exposed a side of the job that isn’t talked about as much: the inappropriate behavior and harassment they sometimes deal with from customers.
One cart girl in Nevada, for example, said a man commented on her weight, telling her she had a “flat tire.” Another said the “creepy” behavior she experiences most often comes from older men, or what she calls “dads.”
Other “cart girls” speaking to Business Insider also said they routinely deal with men who get “handsy” or those who make inappropriate comments about their bodies.
Recently, one woman shared a story from her time working as a cart girl that left viewers extremely uncomfortable.
TikTok creator Ari Uribes (@ari.uribes) posted an old story from her bev cart days. The video has gotten over 548,900 views.
“I’ve been missing bev cart so much lately that i forgot how quick s— gets weird (this is a draft),” she wrote in the video’s caption.
What Did The Customer Say To Her?
“So this guy asked me for a hug, right?” she says. “I tell him, ‘No.’ I say, ‘No. Why would I hug you?’”
The weather discouraged her further. “’Also, it’s like 100 degrees out. You’re sweaty and gross,’” she recalls telling him.
According to Uribes, the man didn’t take that well.
“He’s like, ‘That’s kind of mean, don’t you think?’” she says.
She says she stood by her response. “I’m like, ‘It’s not mean. It’s just—that’s gross,’” she says she explained.
He then dropped an inappropriate comment.
“And he’s like, ‘So I’m gonna ask you a question…’” she recalls, before recounting the explicit comment he made.
“When your boyfriend’s f—— you, his sweat doesn’t ever drip on your face?” she says the man asked him.
He reportedly stared at her afterward. “He’s just looking at me [with] an eyebrow raised.”
“Why do men…” she concludes.
Viewers Call His Behavior Out
In the comments, many viewers were disturbed by the interaction, though some questioned whether it even happened.
“Things that never happened,” one person wrote.
Others pushed back on that reaction. “I’m sorry you had to go through that girl, don’t let the creeps in the comments get to you,” another said.
“I don’t miss this part of the job,” a third added.
A fourth said they would have stepped in if they witnessed it. “If I heard that from a playing partner I would make him apologize to you immediately. I’m sorry that interaction happened to you..” another wrote.
Some viewers were so disturbed by the interaction that they encouraged her to escalate the matter. “Call the cops,” one said.
“Report it,” another wrote.
