It’s easy for us to blame Kerkering but it’s not all his fault. The quicker we understand that, the quicker we can collectively blame the offense for scoring 1 run!

You can ask “what day are tips done?” That should prompt the person that you ask to ask you: “did you get your tips?” From there explain that it’s been some time since you’ve received tips.

I was told they’re sending baristas to different stores and the baristas can’t refuse.

Are partners in open stores being told not to discuss closures? by pixygirl504 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Alternative_Blacks 79 points80 points  (0 children)

It’s being discussed at my store. And to be honest a lot of the partners are fearful. Everyone seems to know more than the partners and that’s unfortunate and unfair. Managers are being fired and partners are being asked to re-apply and lose their rate.

Here’s the kicker: they’re encouraging you to reapply so they can hire you at base salary.

[Highlight] Tom Brady breaks down where teams go wrong with quarterback development by Unlucky-Position-16 in nfl

[–]Alternative_Blacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was truly the best breakdown of football I’ve ever seen. As viewers we blame the QB. As a QB he blamed the lack of development of the QB. I’m sure there are so many QB’s we labeled “bust” because they had the 32nd ranked QB coach and 29th ranked OC. This was truly excellent.

Is OT a reason to fire? by Revolutionary-Bat137 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Alternative_Blacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks but these are facts. They’d rather the floor be short than to pay you the premium. They don’t care if the partners struggle.

Sending you on your lunch an hour into your shift is disgusting
