A male shop assistant is claiming sexual discrimination after a 68-year-old female colleague allegedly slapped his bottom three times while working at the flagship John Lewis department store.
Konstantinos Kalomoiris, 40, claims Bianca Revrenna tapped his behind in the locker room and on the shop floor at the famous store on London's Oxford Street.
Furniture department worker Mr Kalomoiris, who says he quit his job as a result, told an employment tribunal that each time he was slapped the pensioner paused for a few seconds 'like she was savouring it'.
And when he told her to stop he said she replied: 'I do that to all the boys.'
Mr Kalomoiris, who had worked at the store - famous for its policy of 'never knowingly undersold' - since 2006, complained to his manager after the third incident last April.
He claims he was told he should be 'delighted' a female colleague liked him enough to slap his bottom.
Mr Kalomoiris said he made a formal grievance against Ms Revrenna, who is one of the oldest and longest-serving members of staff after racking up 40 years' service with John Lewis, after deciding he 'couldn't take it anymore'.
However, he was forced to bring his claim to the Central London Employment Tribunal after colleagues at John Lewis laughed at him and told him he was 'too sensitive'.

Advice: stiff upper lip and turn the other cheek.
Was it that old broad who was the cheeky clerk in “Are You Being Served”?
Tell the old bat to stop, you whinging nancyboy. If she doesn’t, reach down below her waist and squeeze her boob.
At least she should be in the "sugar-momma" or pensioner stage of life by now LOL
Perhaps this was a case of latent child abuse (he being 40 after all). ;-)
Please, God, no pictures.
Hot Momma still’s got it ping
This man needs to be immediately given a brand new set of big boy pants.
I'd still be seeing stars if I attempted to reciprocate.
Much ado about nothing...except a payoff for the smiling aggrieved.
...that's a saber-toothed tiger.
“That ain’t no cougar......that’s a saber-toothed tiger.”
My whole office is looking at me suspiciously because I just nearly sprayed coffee all over my terminal. I can’t stop laughing.
Has anyone got her address?
Or her phone number?
I think she looks like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz; albeit with a little more color in her facial cheeks.
LOL ... Think I’m gonna need a 6 pk to hit that..a 6 pk of Tequila LOL
