i got harassed at work today (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Alive_Combination691
possible TW for harassment
for reference, i am 18f. i was on DTO/DTR today around 7pm and this guys came through and ordered a caramel macchiato. i open the window and take his payment, all is good. i grab the drink and hand it to him and he says “can i take you in my car with me? can i take you through the window?” i am very non-confrontational, and this scared me a lot. so i said “sorry i don’t think i’ll fit through the window” maybe not the best thing to say, but i have never experienced something like this. it was the only thing i can think of. it scared me a lot. he also had two hands out like he was gonna grab me. he said “oh that’s how we do it in my country” i was like oh okay would u like your receipt ? and he said “no but can i get your number baby?” and i walked away. he tried talking to me again but i ignored him. i’ve NEVER EVER been talked to like this and i was shaking. i told my shift and coworkers and my shift said “how comfortable are you with telling him to fuck off” and told me to tell her if he comes back. i cannot believe the audacity of some people. i hope he doesn’t come back. good fucking riddance

You should file an incident report. in the instance that this does happen again if it's a pattern of behavior you can get him banned from the store so he can't harass you anymore or any other partners. i'm so sorry this happened to you it's been a problem at my store as well. men just be having the audacity to do horrible shit and think it's ok. anyways, ask your store manager to help you locate the button if you don't know where it is on the iPad. it will be ok promise <3

thank you so much, i definitely considered filling a report and now i will for sure. it’s horrifying how some men talk to me at the window, but it’s never been this bad. im used to the random wink from an old man or a “thanks baby” (gross) but wow… thank you so much <3

Glad to hear your shift has your back. Definitely feel free to walk away from DT if you see him roll up to order again.

Sorry this happened to you! I’m a bartender & I’ve been talked to worse than that! It’s just rude & I’d file a report
