[MILD SATURDAY DRAMA] "Should i call HR" - /r/starbucksbaristas struggle over two grown adults flirting

https://old.reddit.com/r/starbucksbaristas/comments/xsfveb/should_i_call_hr?sort=controversial

/r/starbucks and /r/starbucksbaristas are two of my favourite subreddits, full of mostly young female antiworkers who hate their jobs and post long rants with terrible grammar. Past rdrama posts:

This particular post is titled "Should i call HR" and reads:

my store manager looks to be flirting with a barista they hired a few months ago.. Everyone in the store can tell they obviously flirt with one another and we recently noticed they share the same schedules for the next three weeks( same days off and same shifts). Our manager has a history of being unprofessional in the workplace and this is just their first year as a Manager…

OP elaborates in the comments:

there's a bit of an age gap and our manager was seen dating a 19 yr old before this started (they are 30 and their now ex would come into the cafe so we would see them frequently), I'm a bit concerned about the power dynamic the barista sometimes complains about them.. but continues to be seen flirting so it's hard to gauge if it's something consensual

I was surprised to see that most comments were telling OP that it's none of their business, but others disagree.

Let's see what commenters say:

Shocked to hear it's a pattern. Report the perv.

and

Sounds like if she’s annoyed with him but still flirts, it could be grooming.

and

Call ethics

and

Does the barista seem uncomfortable? Have you asked her? If not just mind your business especially if it’s not affecting YOU.

Hey, that's not how hostile work environments go. Other people can be impacted by the behavior of people around them. It's gross for someone in a position of power to then date someone who reports to them. Additionally, it's not fair to the rest of the staff. There's a reason for these rules and policies. Report.

As is always the case:

Redditors on 19 year old s*x workers:

You go girl, you're a strong independent woman and no one can tell you what to do with your body!

Redditors on 19 year olds flirting with 30 year olds:

You are being GROOMED by a PAEDOPHILE. Call the police NOW.

Bitter incels angry that a woman is choosing what to do with her body instead of having s*x with them. So typical :marseynails:
