A San Diego County jury last week slapped Starbucks Coffee with $250,000

Gosh this weather is getting cold and I see this storm moving in. I need to go get a hotel for the week end. I am all most geared up for the winter but need a few more items to get me to the spring. My crew of other homeless people is very close. We take care of each other. When someone new tries to move in on our area we push them out. We can not have them bring down the law on us. If you let one in who knows who they will let in our hood. One homeless guy tried to move in and I told the fellows that he can not stay for he is not trust worthily. And soon after that same guy broke into a few cars and was busted soon after. This kind of thing makes us look bad. My crew does not steal; we simply work our skills on the street to panhandle. People will ask will you us this for beer of food so we tell them food and beer. Why lie to them as if they did not know anyway. One time this guy walked out of KFC and handed me a box of chicken. I took it back to the boys and we grubbed. We got it made some time. We do not go with out. We even get up to the park and BBQ on the grill there and have a few beers.

A San Diego County jury last week slapped Starbucks Coffee with $250,000 in punitive damages in a sexual harassment suit involving a former assistant manager.
The Superior Court jury awarded punitive damages, plus $7,500 in compensatory damages, to Sean Robb, a 19-year-old San Diego resident and former Starbucks employee.

In a lawsuit filed last year, Robb accused Michael Sewell, a former Starbucks assistant manager, of repeated sexual harassment in 2004 while both worked at the company's store at Genesee and Balboa avenues in San Diego. The lawsuit also names Starbucks, saying the Seattle-based company failed to prevent discrimination and harassment and wrongfully terminated Robb.
