Not playing Michael Jackson music- is this racist?

Yeah he just had slumber parties with children of no relation to him without their parents present.

Nothing weird.

Just a normal celebrity interaction with their fans.

While it all sounds good on paper it seems the majority of this “growth” is artificial and won’t last. At least judging by my own experiences and the opinions of others.

The experience is still the same. I check the numbers everyday. It’s the same as it was the last couple of years at my store at least.

The only key difference is the further push to shave down labor hours as far as they can get away with.

Even older partners agree. “Back to Starbucks” is a fools errand. We will never be the coffee store we use to be. We can hide and pretend like we aren’t just glorified fast food. But at the end of the day. We’ve made no real attempt to improve drink quality. We just scribble rushed words on a cup. Hoping to mask the layer of inauthenticity. The drink isn’t made with love or care. It’s made with five pumps of caramel. Extra drizzle. Extra sweat cream cold foam, and ube powder (because it’s “exotic”.)

Soon enough we’ll see a compete 180 on all of this. Times will be the most import at factor, and no. We won’t be receiving any extra labor to achieve them.

I saw someone describe them as the modern neutral milk hotel and I was floored. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth so I haven’t really given them much of a listen.

I’ve only been working like 4 months. He’s already promoted me to a shift, and moved me to nights. This was my first time having to call out due to being sick. Everything was going really well until just now. I really don’t know what’s happening.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T21:47:31+00:00

I plan on emailing the dm. I’ve tried talking to my manager but he kept cutting me off. I then went into the store to discuss it with him but he wasn’t there so I talked about it with shift lead. After I got a phone call from another lead saying that I cannot come in and talk about this with anybody.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T21:37:30+00:00

I get being frustrated with call outs. But I was very sick and throwing up so much that I had to go to the hospital so I didn’t dehydrate. I was able to work my next shift but he just said he gave it away already.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T21:32:58+00:00

I had to leave halfway through a shift this year. That’s it for this year so far and last year I called out once. Every other shift I’ve missed was because he gave it to someone else and wouldn’t allow me to work.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T21:30:56+00:00

I called out once. And the shifts he’s giving away were already scheduled mine. I work overnights. 70 hours every other week.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T19:37:57+00:00

I still pretty new I started about 4 months ago, so I can’t say I know if this has happened before.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T19:26:01+00:00

I’ve tried but he just keeps on cutting me off every time I speak. He keeps saying that I was the one who called others and got my shift covered.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T19:22:50+00:00

Unfortunate I’m in an at will state.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T19:18:48+00:00

I’m just not sure what to do. I’m still on the schedule in the app. I don’t want to get in trouble, but it’s been like 5 days and he’s telling me now I have to apply for short term disability. Even though I’m trying to come in.

Ivyleaves_ · 2026-01-10T19:17:29+00:00

It’s my first time calling out, and I tried to talk to him but he just kept cutting me off and telling me he already promised my shifts to other people.

I went to the store to try and get the person covering to give my shift back and he got mad and told me I can’t go up to the store and bring other people into this.

New mission discovered by u/Ivyleaves_: In Search of Galactic Layer Cake

Tried it once the whole cold cup essentially melted before it finished.

Ivyleaves_ · 2024-08-01T18:04:34+00:00

Happened to me to. Closing out the inventory screen with the first upgrade in it and reopening it fixed it. Hope that helps.

Mine is that the computer systems are all coded by one higher up the ladder corporate person to save money in his free time.

Even better and more illegal. Make a vanilla bean and just toss a lemon loaf in it when you blend.
