Agustina Tramontana was beaten and harassed by three clients of the bar where she works as a waitress.
The 20-year-old girl was attacked with a glass that caused a deep cut on her face that forced her to have
20 stitches
, dizziness and hearing loss.
Agustina cries and trembles every time she remembers the sequence of the three men who, drunk, arrived Tuesday morning at the Maldito Perro bar, on Arístides Villanueva street, the main gastronomic pole in the city of Mendoza.
He spent all of Tuesday in a hospital.
After several studies, she returned to her house in Godoy Cruz, but will have to undergo
reconstructive surgery
for damage to her ear and cheek.
Helplessness and indignation led her to express her pain on her Facebook profile:
“They ruined my face, to the point of not being able to see myself in a mirror without crying
.
They did physical and mental shit to me, and just as it happened to me, it happens to many people who work in the field, ”she wrote.
He later told
Clarín
how the attack occurred: "It was around 2 at night, when three men arrived at the premises. They went up to the terrace. I attended them. They asked for a few beers and I asked them if they wanted anything else. So they
started to harass me
, they said they loved me," the girl said.

An hour later, the men came down from the terrace and sat at a table on the sidewalk.
"I went to charge them and they said that they had already paid.
It was not true
. The manager approached them, demanded payment and they asked him for drinks again. But he did not want to continue serving them. We were going to close," recalled the girl.
The discussion escalated into violence involving other clients, who followed the sequence.
"I asked them for the glass cups and I offered them the disposable ones. They did not accept and wanted to leave with a glass. The manager told them that they could not leave, asked them to return the glass, they hit him and they fought with other customers Augustine said.
And the worst came: "One of them raised a glass and threw it in my face," describes Agustina.
And she lamented: "I have more than
20 points on my face
, eyebrows, cheek, part of my head and my ear with cuts,
I became deaf in my left ear
."
Co-workers and other clients went to testify to the Prosecutor's Office.
"It makes me powerless, it had already happened to other girls. And it annoys me that this has gone through a few drinks that are not worth what I suffered," said the victim and added: "The one who attacked me has children and he did not care Put yourself in my place, that the same thing that he did to me could happen to one of his children.
I want justice and that they pay because they ruined my face
."
Your letter
A day later, Agustina published a letter on her Facebook page: "Yesterday it was me, but
this happens constantly in gastronomy
," she began reflecting.
And he continued: “I'm tired of this!
From insecurity, from the fact that I can no longer feel safe even at work, why do we always worry about going or coming back and work was supposed to be the safe place and now not even that!
Now am I supposed to
feel insecure anywhere
?“.
He said that he has more than 20 points on his face, that he will have to undergo cosmetic surgery on his face and said that he does not hear well from his left ear: "All for a couple of drinks, for some beasts that do not know how to measure themselves, nor do they know how to drink !“.
Agustina expressed the emotional damage she suffered: "They ruined my face to the point of not being able to see myself in a mirror without crying, they did physical and mental shit to me and just as it happened to me, it happens to many people who work in the field .
This happens every day, do not believe that because it reaches the media it is a debut and a farewell!
The girl said she felt “
helplessness and sadness
because my face, the traumas and insecurities I have today are not worth the two rum and coke they drank.
The disfigurement of my face, my fear of going out, the traumas and depression of seeing myself like this, no one can take them away from me!
What do I have to say now?
Thank God I'm alive
Good thing it wasn't worse?
Thank you because I was only subjected to harassment and violence?
.
And she was critical of the demands she must meet to keep her job: “Before being attacked I was harassed and
even so I had to continue being kind
because they are my clients and they are always right, because my work and the reviews on Google depend on them , so I have to continue putting up with the bullying?
Do I have to keep turning a deaf ear to the dirty things they say?
Enduring bad faces?
Mistreatment by clients towards all of us who work as waiters?
He reflected: “What do I have to do now?
Lock me in my house?
Stop working because I don't know if I'll be back tomorrow?
I'm sick of living in fear, of living with constant harassment, why do we put up with it to earn 10% of your consumption and be able to have tips because our colleagues also depend on that?
Yesterday it was me and later is another!
Even when?
Then we are the exaggerated and crazy ones!?
The three men who have been identified as the young woman 's attackers
continue to be detained
.
In the next few hours, the prosecutor Tomás Guevara must resolve the responsibility of each one and if he charges them with serious injuries and sexual harassment.
