If a comment makes you feel uncomfortable in any way or you find it offensive and out-of-bounds at all, then plain and simple, you should report it.
It's not about getting him in trouble or fired, it's about your comfort level and how you feel when that person is around you and what he/she says to you that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you had an established relationship where banter was the norm, then I think his comment would slide by without a thought. But because you know part of his history but do not have an established relationship with him, his comment gave you a wicked case of the skeeves. Because it was creepy and he's creepy. No question there.
Do you know all the details and/or circumstances surrounding his last reprimand and subsequent transfer? Was he transferred due to a comment or touch? To what extent were the damages. What responsibility did the other party play in his transfer and were they on an even playing field, ie., both cashiers or was he in a managerial position and the other person was the janitor...Are they simply hoping that by moving him he will behave? All of these circumstances matter when it comes to filing a lawsuit against a person and company in the case of sexual harrassment.
Reporting it may do nothing if the company chooses to let him skate, Know what I mean?? However, I do think you should report as part of your exit interview as well as inform the other girls of his comment and tell them to watch their back.
