Class Action (self.starbucksbaristas)

Has anyone received an email about a year ago about a class action lawsuit against Starbucks?

No but that's crazy interesting. Are you under any agreement not to share the details?

I assume this is what it's about. https://dailycoffeenews.com/2020/03/11/class-action-suit-claims-some-starbucks-drinkers-getting-shorted-on-caffeine/

Wow, that is incredibly asinine. Thanks. Almost as funny as that lawsuit over foam in the lattes
brattneybiscuit 3 points 1y ago
What about the foam was the lawsuit regarding?
guavalemonades 18 points 1y ago
Lawsuit was claiming that Starbucks was illegally shorting customers by topping off the drinks with milk foam. You know, how lattes have been made forever? Lol.

Got thrown out in 2018, I believe.

Lmfao. If you care about your drug addiction that much switch to caffeine pills.

It was about something else.

No agreement, I received an email that certain partners may have been discriminated against in trying for promotions. But now I can't find the email or anything about it online so perhaps it was fake.

I had gotten an email and a postcard about it. Definitely remember that being a thing. But I never followed up with it.

I remember that. Starbucks changed their process for hiring people and giving promotions at the same time that memo came out and they even said they changed that stuff to lessen the possibility of discrimination. Pretty sure it’s real.

It was real. I filled it out online and as far as I know, no one has received any info yet. Was less about receiving a payout and more about letting the company know there are still too many partners getting discriminated against, most for petty reasons.
