Groped at Starbucks
Starbucks is a great place to get a
cup of coffee because the coffee is good and the employees are nice, although they
do not always understand how to spell a name. Unfortunately we might not
understand that there is a dark side to some of the employees. A young woman
who works for Starbucks was assaulted by her manager. That can never be right.
The article “Starbucks Barista Sues
Boss, Says She Was Groped and Harassed at Work” reports about a woman, Emily
Feliciano, who worked at Starbucks as a barista, she was trapped in the job
because she didn’t want to go back to her family’s business. One of her
supervisors had made numerous sexual remarks and had even groped her. When she
reported it to her manager, her manager had done nothing about it and even
seemed upset that she told him about it. One night he almost raped her in the basement.
He “held her up against a wall,
rubbed his chest against her breasts and tried to grope her. He kissed
her neck and demanded sex as she pushed him away”, and then he
tried to do it again a few days later. She is now filing a law suit.
The article shows that the people who are supposed to
protect you, your management, in time like this, when they do nothing to
protect you, how horrible it can be. While Feliciano is filling a sexual
harassment claim, there is no word if she will be pressing an attempted rape
charge against her supervisor.
