Spokane Starbucks bans 37YO male customer who hit on teen barista

A 37-year-old Spokane man is claiming age discrimination after he was barred from a Spokane Starbucks after asking a teenage barista on a date.

The man, Lucas Werner, runs a website and Facebook profile dedicated to promoting his belief that older men and younger women produce healthier babies. He claims to be “a scientist without a degree in science,” according to his Facebook page.

Werner’s account, posted on his Facebook page Dec. 22, said he wrote a barista at the downtown Main Street Starbucks a note asking her to dinner.

“A barista said I was funny and that she liked me, so I politely thanked her, sat down to drink my hot chocolate, wrote her a nice note, so as not to interrupt her work schedule asking her out to dinner if she was interested and walked out,” Werner wrote.

He said he returned to Starbucks the next day, where a police officer told him he was banned from the store/Rachel Alexander, SR. More here.
