It is a real story. Horton is still a common family name and they may or may not be aware of the famous franchise to the north (given it's in California).

I do think that the corporation should have taken a way different stance on this given that she is stating that she was NOT interested or involved with supervisor. Their message is suggesting, IMO, that even if you were forced to participate (at fear of losing job, friends, etc.) then you were "agreeing". And that, plain and simple, is wrong. I hope they get their asses served on a platter.

That is what my line of thinking is too Linus.

If you watch the video where they ask if she had sex BEFORE working there. With Anyone. It is an intentional attempt to smear her name/character. I was waiting for them to accuse her of wearing that green apron in a suggestive manner....

Good Lord!

I have any though of blaming the victim, she is 16 legally a child.

Though, in the case of a 24 year old supervisor, the companies need to have training so they (the supervirors) know what is an is not acceptable and legal with no question.

The suits at Starbucks sure do have a funny definition of what a "relationship" is. I wonder if they'd consider it a "relationship" if one of their daughters was involved in a similar situation?

This is ridiculous on Starbuck's part because this describes quid pro quo
which is against the law. They would know this if they engaged in PROPER workplace violence/sexual harassment training. (Not just handing an employee a piece of paper at the time of employment that states what not to do and hope the employee READS it, let alone doesn't do it).

What strikes me most as the mother of two teenage daughters is that there is NO specific training regarding underage employees. One daughter works at Wal-Mart and I am sure I don't have to go into the horrors of just being an employee there. I would hate for somebody in management (because management is mostly men) to pressure my kid. I will be sitting down with both of them for a chat.

I was going though a lot last year when this thread was started...I missed it.
Does anyone have/know of an update?
Did they get their asses served on a platter?
This kind of thing ENRAGES me, not just because of the injustice of it all, but because they are re-victimizing the victim!! and I also suffered something similar. It hits home and I know what it's like to not be protected from the assault (the Vice President would tell me that I needed to "look past" the perpetrator's angry outbursts and sexual advances because "he has a lot on his mind as a Project Manager and he's under a lot of stress") , not having the funds to hire a lawyer, not knowing there were federal laws that could have protected me after the State of Virigina told me they "didn't have a law about unlawful termination" and that I was SOL...and I also felt ashamed that I lost my job....when none of it was my fault that a Project Manager (who ended up being a "silent partner" in the company) harassed me for 8 months (telling me I "needed a real man") and tried to lock me in a storage room and assault me, then have me fired 3 days later.

I am so glad I was never a Starbucks fan (Hawaiian Isles Kona addict here)... but I will certainly never buy another gift card from them to give to friends.
How they treated this girl really makes me sick.

Whew! I'm glad I'm not alone. Not in anyway wanting to detract from the seriousness of the topic of the thread, but if the guy's name had have been Duncan Donuts.....
