More lawsuits against Starbucks and tips


Looks like Starbucks is going to have to figure out how to squeeze money from someone else. If they're treating their US employees like this, one can only imagine how poorly they treat the poor coffee growers. At least it's easier to see how they managed such high profits for such overpriced and burnt (well beyond fantastic dark roasted coffee of Italy) coffee.

A week after Starbucks was ordered to refund more than $100 million to baristas in California over a tip pool controversy, the coffee giant was hit Tuesday with a similar lawsuit in Massachusetts.

And a Boston lawyer said more lawsuits could be filed in Washington, New York and Minnesota over whether shift supervisors can share baristas' tips.
