Over $50,000 in 'tips' goes to San Diego barista targeted in Facebook post by anti-mask customer

Tips for a San Diego Starbucks barista are pouring in on GoFundMe after he shared the cafe’s mask-wearing policy with a woman lacking a face covering who later tried to shame him in a Facebook post.

“Meet Lenen from Starbucks who refused to serve me cause I’m not wearing a mask. Next time I will wait for cops and bring a medical exemption.”In a video response posted Wednesday on Facebook, Gutierrez, 24, shared his side of the story and thanked everyone who donated to the GoFundMe campaign. He said he had been trying to explain the store’s mask policy and offer a way to still serve the customer just as she started cursing and calling other customers “sheep” before leaving.

A Starbucks spokesperson said the company is adhering to COVID-19 guidelines from both the Centers for Disease Control and local governments at their stores. In line with that guidance, face coverings are required for most customers, but accommodations can be made for those with health conditions that prevent them from wearing coverings.

Did her employer see this post?

Good for him. This woman’s photo should be all over Twitter so she has to stay home and brew coffee!

And apparently he's going to keep it all and 'share his love of dance.' If he doesn't donate at least some of that money to a worthy cause, he is a douchebag

Woah!!!

It would be nice if he shared a little bit of that money with a good cause. Dancing is fine but really, he's going to keep it all so he can share his love of dancing?

thisdorkynerd And now she’s trying to raise money on gofundme because her plan to report Lenen for doing his job backfired. Help shut her down and report her gofundme:

I think he's rockin' that mask!

😂😂😂👏👏👏👏

Easy money

Ok, but why TF would you give money to the barista?

I wonder what Karen says about that

The non-mask/anti-vaxer connection is strong. Natural selection at work?

Whatever.

I dare he to go back with her note and If she does I dare her to drink her drink. What a stupid selfish person. Bravo for all the tippers

White women, please get your shit together

Thank you, karen, for the $50000 tip.

Instant Karma!

People get nasty when they’re called out for no mask. Why not throw them our? We deserve better as citizens of this world.

We Love to see it👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Rich peoples problems. Im to poor to drink that sHet. Must be nice. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

he deserves it, and so do all the other employees putting up with this nonsense

What's the problem with the commentators? Karen? Not deserving? California is the wealthiest land on the planet. Take 5 minutes to think about that. Tax the rich. Provide more opportunity / education. Tax the rich to give to the poor, for capitalism to be sustainable.

AMAZING HOW MANY STUPID PEOPLE HAVE MONEY TO WASTE! GUESS THE ECONOMY IS DOING JUST FINE DESPITE THE KUNG FLE

Now Karen wants some of his GoFundMe page. Figures. And this folks is why some women deserves to be called Karen.

50k for telling a customer she can't have a coffee without a mask?

I'm freezing alone

AND OF COURSE THE 'TAX-MAN!' GOT HIS HAND OUT💯
