Short or Grande?

From the Daily News:

Customers at a popular Forest Hills Starbucks have been getting a little bit more than they paid for.

A scraggly man has been exposing himself to customers and their children for the last few weeks inside the coffee joint, patrons and employees said.

What made the indignity more irksome was that rank-and-file baristas were told they're not allowed to kick the bum out - a task reserved for managers, according to employees.

A company official and managers at the shop, which is attached to a Barnes & Noble at 70-00 Austin St., later disputed that claim.

Employees, who declined to give their names, said the alleged flasher has been coming to that Starbucks several times a week and scaring away customers.

The unkempt man became belligerent when approached by a Queens News reporter Wednesday. He sat at a table near an elderly woman, who inched away from him and eventually left. He then started spreading out photographs and jotting down notes.

Nice, it's characters like the local flasher that make a neighborhood vibrant. I guess his smell is vibrant too!

If your neighborhood isn't vibrant, go buy a vibrator.

That pervert hasnt confronted a real mom yet- because I would be all over his filthy-a-s
if he did that near my kids. I would go right for his eyes with my hat-pin.

This is not San Francisco. Find a way to stop this character from bothering people.

Im confused. Don't we all have cell phones now? Don't people know how to call 911? Will Police not respond to this and haul this guy away? I echo the mom. A parent would permanently put this guy out of comission. Perhaps he knows this and hasn't tried anything with anbody who would do anything.

Hey, isn't the 112th precinct just a couple of blocks away? Has anyone called the precicnt about this?

The 112? HA! Most of the cops there couldn't find a collar in a shirt factory.......

What about Heidi Chain, the woman who ran to be city council member? She's all up with the cops, prez of the 112 Precinct Council. Her campaign manager, Glenn, was a former (?) cop, Maybe Heidi can do something about him.
Her and her little dog...
She lives in Forest Hills.

Next time he flashes someone, throw hot coffee on his crumb bun. He won't be doing that again.

Yes, but diversity is our strength!

Call 911 and report him as an "EDP" (emotionally disturbed person), and let the operator know that he's exposing himself and acting aggressively. My guess is that the police will show up a little bit quicker in this case.

LOL, it's a few blocks from the 112 Precinct. The cops there are all in Dunkin' Donuts!!! Heidi Chain is there, too, harassing the Captain and up Chief Pizzuti's a**!

Too funny!

By the way, Chain lost the election, so sad :(

...and Chief, If you read this, you should know people think it's very strange that you are so friendly with her. Just so you know...

This Starbucks is directly connected to Barnes & Noble, which has one of our NYPD officers there all day long (an arrangenment I do not quite understand--no cops on the street but a business gets coverage?). Why didn't someone immediately give a shout out and call him over?

Why are they not allowed to kick him out? I would've thrown the coffee on his dick. Why do some people have the right to annoy, intimidate and harass, but the other person doesn't have the right to kick him out or harass back? America is gone...

Is Starbucks still owned by the guy who started it? If so, that guy is an a-hole. I worked in publishing a long time ago, and had to speak to him. He must tell his employees to let anyone do anything. But hey, some of those employees aren't too bright. In the E. 85tha and First Ave. in Manhattan, they let vomit sit there for an hour and no one cleaned it up.
