Sterling Heights jeweler giving away rings to Starbucks baristas affected by new company dress code
STERLING HEIGHTS (WXYZ) - You won't be seeing your Starbucks barista flashing bling while serving up your latte. A new company dress code now bands workers from wearing watches, bracelets or rings with stones - that includes diamond wedding and
engagement rings.
Starbucks says they're just trying to follow food safety guidelines. But the news made waves on social media, prompting some to call for a boycott and others to accuse Starbucks of being anti-marriage.
After reading about the new dress code, a local jeweler had an idea - she's offering a free, tungsten band to any Starbucks employee who has to leave their wedding or engagement ring at home.
Marina Pilibosian, CEO of Birmingham Jewelry, calls herself a big Starbucks fan. She's also a savvy businesswoman.
"Why go naked?" she said. "Some ladies, they feel naked [when they can't wear their rings.] You can wear a beautiful tungsten band," Pilibosian said.
She is offering a free band to all Starbucks baristas in Southeastern Michigan affected by the new dress code.
