Queer costs Starbucks 257.5k

[DesertFox]

A San Diego County jury last week slapped Starbucks Coffee with $250,000 in punitive damages in a sexual harassment suit involving a former assistant manager.

The Superior Court jury awarded punitive damages, plus $7,500 in compensatory damages, to Sean Robb, a 19-year-old San Diego resident and former Starbucks employee.

In a lawsuit filed last year, Robb accused Michael Sewell, a former Starbucks assistant manager, of repeated sexual harassment in 2004 while both worked at the company's store at Genesee and Balboa avenues in San Diego. The lawsuit also names Starbucks, saying the Seattle-based company failed to prevent discrimination and harassment and wrongfully terminated Robb.

During trial in Judge Ronald Styn's courtroom, Sewell admitted touching Robb on the face and ears. Witnesses testified they saw Sewell grind his body against Robb and other male employees.

He's just making coffee. That's how they do it at Starbucks. They grind.

Just take one of those metal scoopers and pour beans down each other's shorts and smash them against each other. That's why you shouldn't get your coffee 'topped off' if you know what I mean. That foamy head is not what you think.

I don't know why this guy is suing anyway. You have to be a fag to apply at Starbucks anyways. Its a yuppie dinosaur co-opted by hungry housewives nursing their snickerdoodle gut. Its a freaking donut shop for people who like to toss away their cash.

And baristas? That's a fag word. It means butt sex in some real sophisticated language.
