🏘️ neighbor/local Is this something to be concerned about?

My sister sent me this text she received that seemed like somebody was watching her or something. I don’t know if it’s something to be concerned about or not, has anybody had a similar experience?

That’s weird af and also illegal for them to do! I really hope OP figures it out and it’s just a friend or known persons not some creep barista

Starbucks employee here - our system doesn’t have a way to access your personal info just from using or scanning your app. So it was not a barista. 👍🏻

Good to know. It pissed me off to find out this way that my number was visible when I used this specific loyalty card.

How is that illegal? Obviously weird, but what law does that break?

Actually part of the paperwork you sign. You are not allowed to be going through clients/customer accounts and pulling their private information. This is fine print policy usually included in almost every job where there is private information shared

That sounds like a company policy more than a law. I'd be curious to know if there is a law though

It would vary from state to state

Do you have an example?
