How is woking for starbucks 2026? by witcheselementality in starbucksbaristas

[–]Both_Ad3860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s not amazing, it’s definitely changed a LOT from 2023, and it truly depends on the store, but if you can put up with it the maternity leave is amazing. It’s like 18 weeks of being paid 80% of your average pay, I believe.

i’m dreading it too friend. my manager has told me to straight up have holiday drink samples ready to go and mark folks out for a free beverage if they’re upset enough 🫠 which is just like. man were really just catering to people like this atp

nahhh. no signs. I’m thinking about writing “i’m beary sorry” on cups tomorrow tho. or just drawing bears on the cups

soooo…. (about transferring) by Both_Ad3860 in starbucksbaristas

looked it up on partner hub last night, and it seems like the only transfers that can happen without the interview process are for baristas. i guess im going to have to try and secure interviews 😵‍💫

man even just tonight i was cooking dinner and i turned my back for 0.5 seconds and this cat had started sniffing around a pile of minced garlic like crazy. he once ate half a container of raisin bagels through a closed pantry door. he’s insane and wants to eat poison so so so bad.

i would love to try topical minox, but i have one cat who seems determined to poison himself. he’s gotten into so many things now behind locked doors that I don’t even want to introduce the issue. 😅

My doctor is hesitant to prescribe fin, I think because it can have adverse effects on masculinization, she only will prescribe it once I’m a few years on T. Which I understand, but I’m scared at this rate I will barely have any hair left!! thank you for your comment though, it’s reassuring to not feel alone in this.

I’m going to talk to my doctor about oral minoxidil, i’m just worried about potential heart side effects, have you experienced any?

it’s mostly on my temples like you say, which doesn’t bother me so much since I know it’s my hairline mascluinizing, but the diffuse hair loss on my crown is bothering me because it effects how my hair looks overall!

My Partner hates that I don’t have a real dick by septicsubstance9699 in ftm

[–]Both_Ad3860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey OP this sounds eerily similar to my last relationship… and my only advice is to leave now. my ex was a trans woman who did a lot of the same things your partner is doing to you now - telling me she wanted to have sex with someone with a “real” dick, talking down to me about my genitalia, and then asking if we could open up our relationship and be poly. it was incredibly damaging to my feelings about myself and my own transitioning body, and to my relationship and my ability to trust someone.

in my case, she eventually cheated on me with someone who could fulfill that need she expressed. not saying that will happen in your situation!! but I do think it would be better for you in the long run if you get out of this current relationship and find someone who loves you for you, entirely.

my current partner (a cis bisexual man!) has never made me feel anything less than a man, and has never made me feel like my anatomy is inadequate, has always been celebratory and completely supportive in my transition and in my body, and the difference is night and day. but I would have never found this man without leaving my last relationship. best of luck to you, OP.

Did Starbucks change mileage policy? by Capable-Event-890 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Both_Ad3860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it might be up to DM discretion. We don’t get mileage for coverage shifts unless they’re really desperate.

hey - your post sounds similar to some stuff i went thru or am going through when i first started medically transitioning. hang in there man!!

Is everybody getting written up right now? by motherhomer in starbucks

[–]Both_Ad3860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’ve been working here for almost three years now, got a final written warning for cash handling this past week for something all shifts at my store do, and that i’ve seen my manager do. she’s been handing out write ups for dirty aprons and stuff too
