Starbucks' Same-Sex Suit

Trouble is brewing for Starbucks Coffee in San Francisco, reports Larry Chiaroni of KCBS-AM.

A worker at one of the city's many coffee shops is suing the Seattle-based company for sexual harassment.



Peter Eastwood claims he was verbally and sexually abused by his three male bosses.

"I had a manager in back, behind closed doors, actually disrobe and expose himself as I walked into the room," Eastwood told the CBS-owned radio station.

"He offered me an opportunity to perform sexual activities for...promotion within the company," he said.

Eastwood claims Starbucks ignored repeated complaints about his bosses. Starbucks plans to launch its own investigation into the matter.
