Big Trouble May Be Brewing for Starbucks Over Barista Tips
Plaintiffs in a case against Starbucks are seeking in the neighborhood of $100 million for baristas who say they were forced to share tips with some California managers. In a second trial phase due to begin today, attorney David Lowe will ask a San Diego judge to award restitution and interest to a statewide class of about 120,000 baristas employed by the chain's California branches since 2000. Lowe said he couldn't be more precise about the dollar amount because plaintiff experts have not yet testified.
