SPOKANE, Wash. – A 37-year-old man says he was banned from a Starbucks in Washington state after asking a 16-year-old barista out to dinner, CBS Spokane affiliate KREM reports.
The man, who was not identified by KREM since he has not been charged with a crime, said he was at Starbucks in Spokane last week and wrote a note asking out a barista.
“I was flirted with by a barista. For some reason she thought I was funny. Said I was funny. So I gave her a note to see if she’d be interested in dinner,” the man wrote in a Facebook post.
He said that when he went back the next day, a police officer told him he was banned from the Starbucks.
Spokane police said businesses are allowed to refuse service to people for as long as they see fit. But the man says he’s facing discrimination due to his age.
“I know the female Starbucks barista was of legal age to date,” the man said. “I broke no laws. I merely took a chance with my heart. I’m tired of hearing the word ‘creep’ as any black person or gay person is tired of hearing certain words. I have a whole webpage dedicated to age gap love.”
He asked his friends on Facebook to call Starbucks and complain – but the request was met with opposition.
Many people took to the Spokane Starbucks’ Facebook page to praise the store for barring the man from the location.
“I have never been so proud to be a Starbucks customer!” one user wrote. “As a teen I had to deal with similar issues working in a restaurant as a hostess. It is an uncomfortable position no girl want to be put in. Thank you so much for supporting your employees.”
A Starbucks spokesperson said, “We have no tolerance for any such inappropriate behavior or harassment, and we will continue to support our store partners and local authorities investigating the situation.”
‘age gap love’ ‘minor attracted person’ ‘non offending’
pedophiles are trying to sanitize their perversion, and its scary as fuck to think about how they’re actually succeeding in normalizing their existence and behavior
this is the man they’re talking about and this demon doesn’t deserve to have his identity hidden
““I broke no laws. I merely took a chance with my heart. I’m tired of hearing the word ‘creep’ as any black person or gay person is tired of hearing certain words.” This scum was trying to equate people pointing out his blatant pedophilia with people using the n word or the f slur. Disgusting. Also, the reason she laughed at his jokes is because she would be fired if she didn’t. Do NOT flirt with people while they’re working.
no shade but whenever i hear a middle aged person say “back in my day it was called parenting!!!! but now they wanna call it child abuse!!!!!” im just like???? sorry you cant beat your kids in peace anymore but go die
when will people stop…..shipping real life humans. with other real life humans. and coming up with “””””headcanon”””” for these actual people…..and when will they stop writing fanfiction about - and i cannot stress this enough - real people who are alive and out in the world partaking in their own existence as a person who is not fictional, not pliable according to your imagination, not an imaginary vessel for you to toy around with like a paper doll with no agency because they are a person please i’m so tired just leave them alone
okay but turn the tv to cnn cause all the anchors are drunk and it’s great
Don Lemon got an ear pierced and is considering a tattoo. A guy in Dallas is hitting on Anderson Cooper from across the timezone. This is great.
Anderson Cooper apparently thinks Mark Wahlberg is hot
Some highlights from CNN’s coverage of New Years in case you missed it:
- Don Lemon was joking about getting a tattoo of Donald Trump’s face on his dick and then an hour later seemed like he was seriously considering it.
- A boat full of Canadians in Miami were very offended when asked how much the boat costs.
- As soon as the year rang in, Don Lemon thought they went to commercial about a second too soon and he screamed “2016 WAS FUCKING AWFUL”
- Don Lemon was interviewing people in a bar and he said to one guy, “wow, you’re really drunk right now” and the guy said on live tv “I’m not drunk, but I’m definitely not sober woooo”
- When Kathy Griffin saw Ryan Seacrest, she flipped him off, and Anderson Cooper had to hold her around the waist to keep her from jumping the railing and going after him.
- I actually thought it was funny and staged at first, but Anderson started saying, “Kathy! No! We’re on the air! We’re on the air!”
- A guy approached Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper to play a game where he says a word and they have to say what immediately comes to mind so he says “Ball Drop” and they both are like “um uh ah uh” for like a solid 15 seconds.
- “No, I’m not wearing underwear. Why?” -Kathy Griffin, 2016
- Kathy Griffin said she was getting drunk texted by one of CNN’s Political Analyst so Anderson got her on live tv via the phone and she was like “I was just wondering if you had backstage tickets to Drake, Kathy! Jeez!” and Kathy was like “That’s why I thought you were drunk! Why would I have a backstage pass to a show in Las Vegas for a guy I don’t know!?”
- Anderson Cooper had to stop everything to find and put his glasses on so he could read a cue card, but Kathy Griffin was like “wow, that sexy left fast” and he took them off and she was like “No, it’s not coming back. It’s like in Queens right now. It’s gone, buddy.”
- “No, Anderson. Say what you said a minute ago.” “What did I say a minute ago?” “You know what you said! Just say it-” “Are you talking about when I suggested that Mark Wahlberg is an attractive man.” “The word you used was not attractive.” “Well he’s not interested so it doesn’t matter.” “You don’t know that!” “I’m pretty sure!”
- Kathy Griffin recounting her Christmas dinner with Peewee Herman and some other famous people, saying that her dog was chocking on a bone and someone said to tap him between the ass and balls and it would come up, so she did, and he spat out the bone, and everyone clapped.
please tell me someone recorded this as it aired so they can’t edit anything out
