CRAZY old man (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by e6vil
We always have this one older man come in almost every 2 or so days, he walks around the store for a bit then comes and chats with all the baristas and literally waits at the end of the bar for a drink to be called out for the other customers and goes over and DRINKS IT!! Almost every other coworker and I have had to tell this man that is not acceptable and he has to pay or gtfo. On top of that,, he sometimes comes from 6-10 PM and will harass whatever barista is closing!


I was closing one night and he came over to talk to me and I had heard other times how he flirts with my coworkers but I was still kind and kept a smile thinking he WOULD order this time.. NOPE! He proceeds to ask me about my facial piercings (nose and labret) and says, “You must like pain huh? You’re a tough little girl. I’m a doctor and I be that hurt a lot.” While all this is going on another customer gets in line behind him and he proceeds to tell me and GETS CLOSER to the register, “Just between you and me what other piercings do you have?” AND I WAVED and smiled to the customer behind him so he would move and let me get her order bc he clearly was not going to order and he’s being so disgusting and inappropriate.

I wanted to seriously jump over the counter and choke out this MF!!!
Anyone else experience this kind of nonsense where you just get harassed. I’m not no double looker but I believe he has a type for petite brown/black girls and ITS effing weird!!!

(Apologize for the format and my language but this just made me so uncomfortable and grossed out)

That’s sexual harassment my friend. File an incident report and next time he comes in call the police and trespass him. He’s also stealing by drinking other customers drinks.

Yes I’ve pointed it out to my manager and she said that next time he comes in to get the store manager. He not only does this to me but to other baristas as well so I’m sure they’ll have my back on this.

In addition to the reporting others have mentioned, if he's in the building keep the drinks you call out on the bar side and hand them directly to customers. Tell him he needs to find somewhere else to wait if he's in the handoff area unless he plans to make an order.

Is his name gio
e6vil [OP] 1 points 4y ago
I’ve never gotten his name but he’s a small indian man who’s apparently a surgeon or doctor. He comes in telling other coworkers how he has money and offers them money.

There’s a guy at my store with the same exact problem that’s crazy, with the same brown/black fetish
