Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Customer that makes all employees uncomfortable (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by converselvr
We have a regular at our store, and he comes in very early in the morning and leaves around noon time. He has had several incidents where he tried to flirt with any and every female barista, and just makes us all uncomfortable. He over does it with the talking, and it just gets weird. He calls all the baristas by their first names, and recently was told he was not allowed to speak with any of the female baristas after he touched one of their arms which made her really uncomfortable.
Today, he kept coming up to the register and the handoff section to make small talk with one of the new transfers, and she is a younger girl and she is generally very kind and polite to all customers. I pulled her to the side to inform her of his nature and to not be as friendly with him considering his past incidents, and she seemed genuinely concerned and said she felt dumb being so nice to him. What really scared me though is not too long after that, he came up to her and said, :"You know, you remind me of my wife when she was younger, blonde and beautiful!" and she kinda just said aw how funny and was like frozen after.
I really want to get him banned from our store.

we need to be stricter about these types of ppl.. they always say we can’t do anything until they bodily cross the line but why are we willing to risk that

Is rolling your eyes dramatically against policy if it’s a tick that you have(like a medical condition you can’t get blamed for?). It’s easy to be cynical and petty.
A good answer would be, ‘I’m too young to be married and hearing that makes me uncomfortable.’ Seriously this is the world you’re going to be dealing with in retail. Shut them down politely.

there was this creepy weird guy who seemed overly nice and was asking questions to all the female employees and i had my back turned and he was yelling at me saying “i hope you have a good day” even though i never interacted with him and when i pretended not to hear he went up to another female employee and was like make sure she knows i told her to have a good day and pointed at me. like please get out of the building. also he asked another girl how old she was

I know this post is a little older but if a customer is disrupting the third place policy, your SSV or SM can have a polite word to ask them to stop or leave.

We have one guy that was winking at one of our baristas. He is easily in his low 60s and she, while being an adult, looks like a minor. He is there everyday as a school tutor 🤮
