Today, I'm a barista at Starbucks. When my crush walked in and asked how much his coffee would cost, I said a date. He said he'd rather pay for the coffee. FML

Today, I went on an a date with a guy I met online. We were waiting in line at Starbucks when he turned to me and said, "Do you want anything?" Just before I was about to answer, he practically shoved in front of me and paid for himself. The cashier looked more horrified than I did. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to ask my crush out for coffee after work. She agreed and I confidently said, "Alright, it's a date!" She replied, "Haha, a date with you? I'm just going for the free coffee!" FML

Today, I was getting coffee with my aunt, and she asked me to pay. She then turned to the Barista and said, "He's never had a girlfriend before, and I wanted to show him that they take your money." The Barista laughed so hard she had to excuse herself. FML

Today, I went to my favorite coffee shop, ordered my usual, smiled at the barista I have a crush on, and confidently said, "You too!" when they told me to enjoy my drink. I have to find a new coffee shop. FML

Today, I went out for coffee with my sister and my crush. I spent the majority of the date flirting with my crush, and when he dropped us off at home, I told him I had fun on our date. He looked at me surprised and said he'd thought I'd tagged along on his date with my sister. FML

Today, I went on a coffee date with the man I've been in love with for a while. Before I knew what was going on, he'd started chatting up a pretty girl sitting nearby. I had to drink my coffee alone while he got her number. FML

Today, I went with my dad to Starbucks. There is this really cute guy who works there and he kept looking over at me, so I went over to say hi. He ended up asking if my dad was single. FML

Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML

Today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend. The guy rang her up and said it was only a dollar as he winked at her $10 purchase. Then he rang me up at completely full price. She got his number and I got to be the ugly friend once again. FML

Good on him for being straightforward and (it sounds like) not rude about it. Good on you for having the confidence to ask him.

OP's boss should give them a stern talking to about sexually harrassing customers. And yes, employees propositioning people by offering to steal for them is creepy AF. Yes, giving away company product is stealing.

You sound like you're even more fun at parties than I am. Can you cite the part of state and/or federal law relating to the sexual harassment, and the page of the employee handbook?

Work isn't a place to find hook ups, it's for work. Glad you don't work for me, I'd hate to waste time fighting your unemployment claim.

Yeah, because you know anything about me. My point is that you both sound freaking awesome from your boring comments.

Starbucks is not your company OP. You charge the dollar amount for the product.

He's probably either taken, or not into you. Don't take it personally. Attraction is mostly chemicals. Either you like or don't like a person.

yes. Spit in somebody's drink because they just wanted coffee and didn't want to go on a date with someone. There's nothing wrong with that. In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic

Wouldn't coffee be less expensive than a date? No ones putting the possibility he may have been in a relationship. But Honestly if you like them and they're single, ask a different way or time.
