Caribou Coffee is going to Court

There are often fine lines in coffee shops around the nation between Managers and Barista's. Do you know the difference? Hundreds of managers in Caribou Coffee sure don't. Thats because these managers are seeing themselves more barista's than bosses, which entitles them to overtime benefits. The conflict comes on behalf of Minnesota's laws suggesting that all employees, except manangers, should receive overtime pay for hours beyond a regular workweek.

Caribou Coffee is however fighting back stating that "it has properly classified its store managers as exempt under the (Fair Labor Standards Act) and Minnesota law." In summation it looks like Caribou Coffee will join the ranks of countless other American corporations that become part of class-action lawsuits.
