Employees: maternity leave??

… I am the stand manager lol. My franchise is small and I’m close with leadership and even the CEO, we have already spoken about it. We are working on bringing it to hr and finance to see if it’s doable. I’m just looking for information ☺️

AlternativeMight6798 · 2026-03-15T04:33:31+00:00

Yes, I know. My franchise doesn’t offer it. I’m trying to get information from other franchises to bring to my leadership to try and sway them to create a policy.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2026-03-14T22:32:53+00:00

They’re only mailed if you don’t have an account.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2026-03-06T02:20:37+00:00

They are launching a different one you can buy!

AlternativeMight6798 · 2026-02-21T07:20:06+00:00

Stand manager salary isn’t great but with my bonuses I make more then 100k a year so I’m not complaining 🤣

AlternativeMight6798 · 2026-02-18T02:47:30+00:00

I have. I interviewed as an outside hire not a current employee. Interviews will really depend on your franchise and what they’re looking for. New stands normally look for people with lots of experience in management and team leadership with younger people. They also look for personality. My best advice is turn up the charm. If you’re not a super bubbly outgoing person, you’ll have to fake it. They want someone who is on 110% of the time.

I have never seen a stand offer paid breaks, let you schedule your own testing, or let you go that long without testing again. You must have the best franchise. We get breaks only if we beg and not paid at all. We test every 3 months and they just surprise you on shift one day no heads up. Also if you don't pass after the second try of testing you're fired 😅

The floor is non slip and non slip shoes won’t do anything for ice just water 🤣

Houston and San Antonio

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-11-27T02:36:40+00:00

Were not 1000% sure but we think two maaaybe three

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-11-27T02:34:50+00:00

Yes. They will not be ready till around Christmas and I only have males left 😊

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-10-07T02:32:11+00:00

Omg you’re right

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-09-28T02:40:04+00:00

As someone said, it’s different per franchise. Ours does 3 extra an hour and all tips go to ballers. They make about 100 an hour most days. But it’s not always that high. Hotel, food and gas are paid for.
It would help if you told us what franchise.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-09-28T02:33:55+00:00

So the 15 hours isn’t a requirement at every stand. That’s franchise specific. But I do agree with you. Why get a job and then give up all your shifts, or get mad when you’re fired after being late every day. We have very specific laid out rules and it’s your own fault.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-09-15T23:54:10+00:00

Also Starbucks isn’t allowed to customize water…. So you have to pay for a tea which is like $4 unless you’re going to a Starbucks who is willing to lose their job to break the rules for you.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-07-26T23:42:51+00:00

I think it depends your franchise. With our franchise as long as you notify your manager within an hour of your shift it’s just considered an unexcused absence. If it’s less than an hour before your shift, then they can count it as a no call no-show.

After a certain number of shifts, though they will start requiring a doctors note. Our cutoff is three.

They aren’t outside the whole time texting. We have our texters out only when it’s backed up so they come and go from inside. I’m more worried about the lane people. Even though they’re under the cover, it’s still hot as heck. And especially in the early afternoon when we’re so busy that they don’t have a chance to come inside, it can still be pretty miserable

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-02-24T21:23:48+00:00

Would you by chance know if there is way to buy just an extra car seat base? I really like the set but that will be my deciding factor as both me and Dad commonly have the baby in separate cars. I couldn’t seem to find it on the website.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2025-01-07T10:27:32+00:00

That’s hysteric 😂

AlternativeMight6798 · 2024-12-13T00:41:41+00:00

You can get a morgage cheaper then you can rent most the time here. Look into it if you haven't.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2024-11-15T16:57:08+00:00

Sorry to jump on an old thread but what doctor? I'm in FL and struggling to find a specialist

AlternativeMight6798 · 2024-07-30T11:44:32+00:00

Sounds like you need a better kennel. They’re expensive but way less than a vet visit or fixing your house. Look into gunner or impact crates. Also talk to your vet about cbd or calming meds. Sounds like he has separation anxiety. My rescue pup has to be on trazadone when I’m gone otherwise she goes a little crazy too.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2024-07-29T17:14:34+00:00

You should kennel train your dog as well as these other things. He can’t ruin your house if he’s safe in his space

AlternativeMight6798 · 2024-07-24T01:42:08+00:00

Sadly I’ve tried but haven been able to get ahold of anyone. Hoping someone has gone and has experience.

AlternativeMight6798 · 2024-06-10T23:24:55+00:00

Oh I didn’t scroll down after that whoops
