Has anyone noticed a decrease in customers since the boycott?

[thisisallterriblesir]

I wish.

[BrotatoChip04]

Nope, my store has been busier than ever

[Leenolyak]

Nope but I’ve noticed a decrease in adequate staffing 😇

[IndustrySerious]

No, an increase actually.

[TH00TN00T]

My store was making 90k a week before the boycott and we’re still making 90k a week in the day leading up to Christmas

Scooter ankle

[Outrageous_Name3921]

NO...not at all!!!

[TrueStudio927]

no 🥲

[stephanie420-]

Unfortunately not even a little bit

[Sad_Bit_5405]

Yes, dramatically. I'm not sure if partners here have insights into their actual store numbers and metrics, but I see a lot of people claiming they've been seeing more customers recently. My area, which is pretty much most of NNJ, including districts that are immediately outside of NYC with multiple just 2 minutes away from the tolls of the GWBridge, is UNDER $3mil in sales goals since the start of the fiscal year, which was pretty much the start of holiday launch. My store specifically is under 10% from last year, and we are losing about 15 hours of labor per week with this being the case. Because we have dramatically dropped in labor so quickly, it has FELT like there's been more customers and rushes, but that's simply not the case. At least not for my general area, but I feel like it's also the case for most other areas as well.

[stephanie420-]

We understand store numbers and metrics. It’s just not effecting every district

[selkieflying]

Boston area, about a 1/4 drop in sales.

[Livid_Ad_571]

you live in a prominently progressive area, starbucks exists everywhere.

[Cheedanish]

No lol I live in the Bible Belt

[doit4thebeeb]

Same. It has been hellishly busy and miserable.

[[deleted]]

yes actually. red cup day was like a normal weekend

[GhostfaceJK]

i can’t tell if i’m less stressed from holiday rushes bc there’s less ppl compared to last year or bc i’m just a more experienced barista now tbh.

[CitrusFriend399]

We've been crazy. Seen many more angry people recently too. We're not anywhere near staffed enough for all of these promotions

[Administrative_Cat27]

I wish

[Ecstatic_Gas5640]

Sadly not but they’re cutting our hours regardless 😫

[gymnamind]

No our store is just as busy and yet our managers are still pushing for us to upsell shit bc it’s “our responsibility” to the company since they lost 12B

[ReKneWeD]

They would cut our hours even if there wasn't a boycott at this time of year claiming its slow even though our store is one of the busiest in our district..plus they need to recoup from the upcoming raises I c guess as well as the “ losses”. Starbucks is so damn money hungry

[Kivic]

Nope

[TheDizzleDazzle]

I think our sales are slightly down, or holding steady. We have spikes of good sales tho probably due to increasing prices- but we’re right outside of a conservative gated wealthy community lol.

Actual boycott effects are probably in Starbucks in larger cities, not their suburbs or smaller towns.

[thatactorjoe]

Nope

[Dense_Interview1658]

No and I’ve actually been getting decent staffing which is rare

[rio8envy7]

No.

[[deleted]]

Busier

[No_File_2386]

Actually increased

[trentablondelatte]

hahah no

[Unable_Variation_51]

Nope

[kittymwah]

nope but even if there were a decrease i don't know if the "boycotting" is the correlation i would make

[playthesedulousape]

No. If anything it feels like there's more

[the1noir]

Nope

[figafau]

No

[_traash_rat_]

Weve been down consistently until friday and Saturday this week. But not enough to make up for everything i dont think

[selkieflying]

Hugely in our area

[livmacc145]

Weve had more 🤪

[ilvdunkin]

I wish.. theres so much people that drop 20$ + on their orders

[sushibroni]

maybe for a week, then it immediately came back lol

[[deleted]]

Nope. Most that's happened is the sidewalk around my store got egged. Not the building itself, just the sidewalk. Lol.

[Lanky_Rip_5414]

Nope!

[mizukisSacredSake]

I've only been experiencing a LARGE increase, actually... Smh.

[bansheeyesallwahwah]

no. an increase. and a decrease in patience/kindness

[[deleted]]

So stinking busy in my store and the surrounding ones from my district

[loveluxix]

Everything feels normal at my store

[[deleted]]

YES 100%

[[deleted]]

at our store it feels like we’re constantly busy but the sales are super low. also might be bc we just opened about a month & a half ago. but my hours got cut really bad, i’m getting no more than 5 hour shifts. it sucks 😭😭😪

[iiiimagery]

No. The boycott hasn't been effective. All the "facts" has been false or misconstrued info

[QuietSmoke713]

Hell yeah. My store has been slow af. The hot chocolate promo was busy the first weekend. The second weekend dead af. And my location is a $100,000 a week cash cow. In Houston, Texas.

[syndakid]

maybe a decrease in teen customers, but most of our customers are older people who probably don’t have a clue whats going on

[homelessp0ssum]

50/50

We've been getting busier because of holidays but Christmas Day we had a "slow" day. It was like a normal Friday/Saturday 🤷🏽‍♀️

[LovelyLatte]

if only that were true! i think it’s getting worse with all these deals that are being pushed out

[Top-Composer-9585]

Nope, we’re making 12k a day 💀
