I'm not disputing -- just genuinely confused here.

Teacher and student: No!  Prosecuting District Attorney and Defense Lawyer: No!  Boss and underling: Probably not! 

But if a pair of coworkers are hierarchically equal, what the heck is wrong with a little romance or even a little lust?  Likewise typically the social power balance between consuming customer and retail sales rep is roughly equal -- no? -- so I'm genuinely missing why there'd be any moral culpability in a little hanky-panky here?

I ask 'cause they say my grandparents hooked up and married following clerk-customer relationships.  What's it make me if such pairings are evil???   :)

They aren't evil, just a really bad idea. Things go south and you are stuck with that person.

Oh there's no moral dilemma here. I'm one of the few people at my branch who hasn't slept with a customer. The only thing stopping me from asking them out is the fact that I'm a huge chicken.

The Lisa Page saga is an example of a perfectly good workplace arrangement that went south.   It went south when our glorious leader tried to humiliate that couple at a large gathering of his disciples. .  The Prez was doing the Harry loves Sally routine but not as well as Meg Ryan did.

Random thought of the day. If Caesar's Salads were sentient and capable of grazing, would they taste better? :notsure:

No one

That might depend on what they graze on.

I like a Caesar salad. Excellent Mexican cuisine.
