Starbucks barista calls out \u201cold men\u201d customers who touch her for no reason deliberately Unsplash: qui nguyenA Starbucks barista called out customers after \u201cold men\u201d repeatedly kept grabbing her hand when she was serving out coffee. A frustrated Starbucks barista took to Reddit to vent her frustrations surrounding customers touching her hand when she gives them their coffee. \u201cBeen at Starbucks for a couple months already since returning, and lately I\u2019ve been noticing whenever I\u2019m on drive-thru and handing a customer there drink, with clearly enough room so that they don\u2019t grab my hand, they still end up grabbing my hand anyway and it\u2019s always older men,\u201d she said. She goes on to explain that she has to wash her hands and sanitize each time this happens. She claims that she asked a customer to not touch her hand, and that he looked \u201cshocked,\u201d and asked why. She told him that it made her feel uncomfortable, to which he replied that \u201c\u2018he wasn\u2019t doing anything bad,\u2019\u201d so I was just like\u2026 \u2018have a nice day.\u2019\u201d Baristas frustrated over Starbucks customers touching hands Many baristas were able to relate to the post, writing that the same thing happened to them on a regular basis: \u201cI literally feel like I\u2019m insane for being so bothered by it but yes! It\u2019s one of the biggest reasons I hate being on the window! don\u2019t touch me!\u201d One had some advice for fellow baristas: \u201cI started handing the cup out by holding it at either the top or the bottom. like the lid is in my palm or the base of the cup is in my palm. it hasn\u2019t completely eliminated the unwanted hand touches, but it has cut them down significantly. However, this didn\u2019t seem to deter people: \u201cI will hold the cup from the top so they can conveniently grab it where 99% of people hold cups naturally and they\u2019ll still touch my hand. I just set every cup down now, even if they\u2019re ready to take it.\u201d Another Starbucks barista went viral after they \u201caccidentally gaslit,\u201d an elderly customer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
