WTF is a virtual tip ? Not real money ?

that is justice

Fredo

Fredo is a national embarrassment and a total fraud

Damn. I've done that almost every day. Guess I need to make a video.

Damn really thought it was going to say he was using the funds to become a brain surgeon or like a virus scientist but listen to the end and you will he amused hahahaha

As of now than 1 in 200 people diagnosed with covid19 die! Test result 6% positive. Your slum maybe higher! Vitamin D3 and zinc helps a lot! These anti vaccine nuts probably don't where masks around others?

How about instead of waiting for individuals to win the “go viral and win the sympathy of undertaxed people lottery” (or any lottery) we as a society choose to properly tax wealth (which these tippers clearly have) and corporations (such as who this employee works for)?

America’s better angels are on the rise!

Seriously just wear the fucking mask.

I’m missing the point. Wear a mask to order but you can take it off to drink it? Does any of that make sense?

لبیک یا خامنه ای

مرگ بر امریکا

I never worked in customer service, but they deserve so much more respect than people give them. 20% tip and and a mask should be the minimum rn.

GreatDismal up to $92k now ...

i pity every woman named karen

Is a Starbucks barista like a McDonald's cook? 🤔

I'm still trying...can't give up the kids are depending on me I have had a few very mean hearted people commenting and I almost gave up but I really can't this is my last resort so I'll keep trying I'm really far behind on rent I NEED HELP $RMKghost. I can provide proof. Plz help

If an employee asks one to wear a mask, either correctly wear a mask or politely leave the business. Those are the only two options.

And now, the dude can pursue his dreams of becoming a dancer, Thanks to the karen. God bless all karens.

Wow someone screamed at my Juneteenth chalk sign at my store someone shoot me $10,000 real quick for my troubles

Her real name is revealed! It might be excessive here in JPN.

$80,000? No wonder so many participate in the victim Olympics. Being a 'victim' of bad words on Facebook sure the fuck pays out Damn For $80,000 I can be a 'victim' too I'm Black, does that mean I make MORE💲💵🤑💰 Where do I apply? Starbucks ? Ain't serving no coffee tho! 💯🤣

😒

There was zero reason to give him any money. I've seen people on Go Fund completely ignore campaigns for real problems in order to prop up things like this. Humans are so stupid.

Useless attention...ANOTHER KARDASHYAN. Why do people feel the need to tip someone for getting shamed?

I need 80k... I have 3 kids

I told someone you need to wear a mask just yesterday. I'm cool with just 10k.

TERRORISTS OPEN STARBUCKS CLOSED FOR EVER WORLDWIDE UNIVERSES OWNER

I wish someone shame me into $80,000

People are purposely showing up maskless at businesses prepared to video being confronted about it. Glad it’s backfiring on them.

soooo why was he given the money ?

So you’re saying Facebook is a great platform doing good in the world? Or did I misunderstand cnn?

A disgrace if you think about it - wearing a mask is essentially a way of identifying who are sheep and who are not...the fact that people will donate to this guy while millions are unemployed and losing their businesses is a shame. Thanks Left - we’re all better now

Well done!

Bravo!!!

Everyone should wear a mask

Sometimes I truly believe in Karma.

Bet the idiot who tried to shame the barista is kicking themselves now!! Who do you think people like that votes for 🧐

Seems odd.

Well I guess we have to thank that karen for allowing a young man to have the money boost he probably needed

Karen's making people bank

Someone hurt my feels..........pay me money. Good Lord. The fact that people have nothing better to spend their money on SHOULD tell you how good we have it in this country.

CAgovernor when will those not abiding by wearing a mask start being cited ?

He gets 80000 extra dollars for pouring coffee while healthcare workers are dying in the front lines

Serve her the damn drink and thank her for her business. But thats coming from the perspective of a small business owner - not from an employee of a giant corporation with instant social media recognition and the luxury of playing virtue-signaling games

Not everyone wants to play the Government/Media's 'Eveybody Fall in line' game. I never wear a muzzle and I keep a 45 in my backpack. We're a country of independence in case you don't remember!

You are hearing this IRSnews? This man has a nice tax bill waiting at the end of 2020.

Being a sheep is Profitable now. He should donate to the non-mask wearing pride refusers when they get sick.

If all the Americans starts wearing mask and maintain social distancing. We can stop this pendamic easily. realDonaldTrump Buck stops at you. Vice president started wearing mask. You should do that too. 🙏🏼

$80,000 ? Wow

Facebook is done.

Don't they share tips?

Don't forget to file a 1099

P. T Barnum was correct - there are suckers born every minute and a lot of minutes have passed since this ' bogus ' incident was said to have occurred -

Love the 'my body, my choice' sign. Funny how it only applies here 🙄

I will not wear a mask. Sheeple wake up. Wake the fuck up. This is a control game. 5 months into it and no mask yet. I should be dead or atleast hospitalized right? It's called critical thinking and if you are wearing a mask you clearly arent using it.

I'm pro mask and wear them everywhere but if the policy wasn't mandated by SB, then ok karen

And the lady that started this whole thing is suing her for part of that money

Beats working.

Wow. That's all it takes to get $80k?

So you have to wear it to order but take it off to drink it... kinda missing what’s the point?

Starbucks uses companies that have literal slaves harvesting thier coffee.

People invoking constitutional rights re Covid-19 are the problem, allowing it to spread and thrive. Covid-19 has nothing to with citizenry rights. It attacks as it sees fit - as long as it can carry from one living body to another. Keep distance and/or put on a mask. good follow rules wear a mask For those who's covid19-challenged, start with 'no smoking indoors or beyond designated areas' policy.
