Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

an update on the psa of my last post (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by bloodyartworks
so this is what happened to cause all this.

basically at my location we kept getting calls (four consecutively) where this girl would sound very nervous and scared and kept asking if it was our store location, which it was, and you could clearly hear a man yelling in the background. it is to be noted that she changed the subject each time we asked if she was okay. the call that it was coming from was coming from that truck that was in our drive thru off to the side lane that you would use to pass cars to exit and the girl would hang up. each time she would call she would ask the location and stated that they could see us through our window, apologizing that her brother was on the line (there was no brother). my store manager got concerned about the truck and went outside to look and when they did they heard what sounded like a camera shutter as the truck peeled out of our parking lot and sped off. we called the police because we werent sure what to do and they said they would track the number but no number came up in our store phone that was abnormal, probably a disposable. the police told us they did not think it was a prank and left. after we left they kept getting calls to the store that were weirder and weirder like somebody just breathing into the phone and then just straight hang ups. we had to route all of our calls to corporate after that. we believe it was a kidnapping but i think they may try to be taking somebody from our store because all the photos that were taken were of our female baristas. im very shaken up and advise everybody to be careful.

Oh my goodness, this is so scary! I can imagine how fearful you are. Do you mind me asking what state you’re in?

Oh wow, I’m in Oklahoma too, when did this happen? I would call and ask the police to be there at closing to make sure everyone gets to their car safe.

Shit, well so much happens here because of the 40 and the 35 freeways and having easy access to get out quick.

i’m so sorry you’re dealing with this! i used to have a non-customer follow me after i would close at night....i would just take a longer drive to an area that wasn’t close by to my actual home. please stay safe!!

OP that is terrifying. Please stay safe. If anyone can safely do so, get plate numbers/description of the truck if it comes back (if you haven't already done so of course) and make sure you pass the info to the police. And please get pepper spray if you don't have some already! God this sounds like the start of a letsnotmeet post. Hoping you and all your team are okay.
