because we're talking about a lot of people and a lot of money. 11,000 baristas.at stake in this class action suit. >> 14 million bucks, yeah! >> so if it all goes through, then everyone will get a little piece of that $14 million. >> well, you know, i keep thinking, in the millions, and everybody knows waitresses and waiters who are struggling to survive. they count on their tips. and here the employer is saying, no, we have a right to split it. in other words, the customer pays, the manager splits it. and in the case of massachusetts, the federal judge granted $14 million. why? because the supervisors opened the store, they closed the store, they handled the money, they supervised three no six employees. i think it's appalling that they're taking the money of hard-working baristas, waiters, waitresses, whatever. but the interesting legal issue here is the federal court of appeals in massachusetts in boston has come up with something, they have to consider a very different reasoning compared to the federal court of appeals in new york city. and think about this.

. >>> in croatia, baristas whipped up a coffee that would probably keep you up for days. 1,000 baristas operating 22 coffee machines set the guinness record for the world's largest cup of cappuccino. individual portions were made with one part espresso, one part milk, one part foam, then they poured it into that giant cup you're looking at. the 531-gallon brew took just over three hours to make, that was it. >> that's great. on our shifts, working during the overnight, people think how much coffee do you drink, i've never had a cappuccino in my life. >> really? >> not even one. i don't drink coffee. >> we need a communal one right here in the studio. >> some days you feel like you need it. >>> time for an early look at some of the stories we're following. a festival in charlotte, north carolina, will kick off the democratic national convention. the convention officially starts tomorrow. today the carolina fest outdoor party welcomes delegates and visitors. james taylor will be among the event's live performers. >>> in los angeles, actress, comedienne and talk show host ellen degeneris w

took 1,000 baristas three hours to complete this project. the cappuccino was certified by guinness book of world records. looks like with extra foam. >> we need that on the morning news. >> yes, we do, with a big straw. i haven't had one sip of coffee yet today. >> that's excellent. you're in great shape. rest of us, not so much. i'm on my third. >> thanks for making us a part of your morning. we'll have more local news all day long at nbcbayarea.com. don't forget, the dunbarton bridge remayors closed until tuesday morning.

square will soon roll out technology to tell a starbuck s barista you've arrived at the store. this is an app called bump. bump your phones together and you can transfer contact information, incredibly intuitive. the same company also makes photo sharing app flock. friends who take pictures together, share those pictures with each other automatically. dave is ceo and a graduate of princeton stanford. he left to create bump, an app that is downloaded faster than once every second. joined by john schwartz and rich of bloomberg. it strikes me. i think it strikes everyone. we went from the motorola to the iphone intuitive. i think we've sort of entered this post-intuitive world where i'm not even telling my iphone or what have you that i'm at the airport. it knows. it's got it taken care of. >> truly like a real smartphone. >> smarter than me, in many ways. >> absolutely. if you even go back a step, we started with computers with punch cards, punch holes in a piece of paper, put it in a computer, it would do something. then the keyboard, then the mouse where you could, like, move y

. >>> well, a woman from texas is suing starbucks, blaming a barista for her burns.hat the lid on her cup of hot tea was not sealed. the drink spilled on her causing second-degree burns. her attorneys say starbucks' cups are poorly designed and are demanding starbucks pay her for her medical bills, lost income as well as damages for pain and suffering. so far no comment from starbucks itself. we have seen this story couple years ago. coffee from mcdonald's. the woman sued. seinfeld did a joke episode on. all that. who knows? sometimes the stuff is really too hot. have to wait a half-hour for it to cool down. >> i have had tea before. seems like it is a little too hospital. undrinkable. mcdonald's has the disclaimer because of their litigation. we are not sure how much this woman is going after. in washington they don't have to disclose it. >> one of our producers brought up an interesting point, you should not align the part of the lid open to sip, that should not be aligned with the crease of the cup. that is a vulnerable point for the water, whatever, coffee, tea,

i walk eed up to the barista, h said, hi, laurie. and i paid.his is the one that was like, this is the future. this could be cool. it could be creepy if there are a lot of pictures popping up and they're not sure if i'm laurie or not. that's the one that stuck out to me. >> okay, so what about that kind of feeling of being very vulnerable when you're using your phone? being a little concerned about whether there are some huge security risks? >> think about this, fredricka. let's say you have your phone and you're putting all your credit card information into your mobile phone. what if someone walks off with it? you have to think to yourself, this could pose some security risks, but a lot of these apps have safeguards so one of them, you have to enter in a pin. i would say if you're going to do this, always password protect your phone. that's really important. google wallet which was the first one you saw, you have the opportunity to go online and wipe out your account without your smartphone in case you lose it. with any new technology, i say be
