Starbucks is sweeping my predatory accusation under the rug. This is my story. I’m a minor and I’m on drive-thru a lot. Back in August of 2021, I met a customer named Josh. He was very flirtatious. Only after did he flirt enough to get my number (over the course of multiple visits,) did he reveal his age. I am 17, 16 at the time, and he was 31. He told me I had nothing to fear, because we would only be friends. This man preyed upon me and groomed me over the course of several months. He visited me at my place of work several times over these months, and continued to flirt, as well as held explicit conversations outside of the job. Once I realized what was happening toward the end of January, I stopped things immediately. I contacted the police in my area, as well as filled my store manager in on the event that occurred. The police said they could do nothing because the age of consent in my state is 16, even though I’m still a minor. My store manager said he would alert the other managers as well as the distract manager in my area about being on alert for my predator. My manager never followed through. It’s now May and after bringing this situation up to my district manager today, he said a filed report to ethics and compliance would be useless because I haven’t seen the predator since January. I now have nothing against him legally, and nothing against him to get him banned from my local Starbucks’. What would y’all recommend? And could I have a case against Starbucks for ignoring my issue? Thank you
