Oh no, she didn't!
A Starbucks barista in Bellflower, California learned the hard way that it's no fun messing around with a Latina.
The now former employee of the coffee giant was caught on video admitting to using a Latina customer's credit card information to buy her groceries.
Juana Martinez went for a drink at the Bellflower Starbucks on New Year's Day. The 25-year-old mom said the 19-year-old barista took too long before returning her credit card. She apparently already had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and when she received a $212 charge from Lakewood Ralph's grocery store, she knew who made the fraudulent charge.
The day following the surprising credit charge from the grocery, Martinez made sure that the teenage thief learned her lesson.
She and her husband went to the Bellflower Starbucks' drive-thru window, and she said the former Starbucks barista recognized her at once. Martinez's husband recorded the entire confrontation in the video below, which has gone viral with over 4 million views.
"We're gonna get even," Martinez said in the video prior to the confrontation. "That's what we're going to do."
Martinez angrily told the girl that she was caught on camera using the credit card information.
"So, just know that the cops are coming up here. They recorded your ass and everything," Martinez said. "You took a f-ing copy of my card the other day on New Year's Day. You know what you did."
Realizing that Martinez is way serious and she's not kidding about pressing charges, the then Starbucks employee admitted to the theft and tried to calm Martinez down by apologizing repeatedly. She even offered to pay her the money back.
Martinez's husband is telling his wife that they should go, but Juana isn't finished.
"You're sorry that you're about to lose your f-ing job because corporate knows?" Martinez asked, adding that the girl essentially stole from her kids as well.
The teenager attempts to convince Martinez that she's really a good kid who goes to school and plays soccer, but the Latina mom isn't easily swayed.
NBC4 News reported that despite Martinez saying in the video that she's pressing charges, she deems the video going viral is punishment enough for the teenager.
As for Starbucks, they know what their employee did.
Company Spokesperson Jaime Riley said:
"We were extremely troubled to learn of this incident, and we have been working directly with the customer to address this situation. We value our customers' trust, and this experience was completely unacceptable. At this point, I can confirm that this partner (employee) no longer works for Starbucks."
Martinez, who has filed a police report, also received a personal call as apology from a Starbucks executive
According to the Lakewood Sheriff's Department, an investigation is already underway.
Martinez said she handled the issue first before the police because she's sure she isn't the only one stolen from.
"At the end of the day, I just hope she learned her lesson," she said. "You can't go doing that!"
According to police, no other victims have come forward.
