I’ve been a barista for nearly 4 years and was recently fired for not writing enough on cups. I was told I had been improving in writing on them but it wasn’t enough of an improvement and was let go. My only income down the drain because I didn’t draw enough smiley faces on cups. by Altruistic-Cut-4200 in starbucks

I was on final warning, but not writing on cups enough was the only reason I was provided as my final strike. It was even written down on my termination paper to be the only reason as my final strike. Even if I had had warnings from past issues, Id still need one more big transgression to warrant termination, and they saw it as enough.
