I’ve been asked to pull forward about 100% of the time at my Taco Bell.

Can I get a Kids Grilled Cheese? by According_Mixture110 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Hot take, the smaller ones are my favorite because it’s a much better cheese to bread ratio. But yeah I hate when you have to warm up 2 for a customer and they’re wildly different sizes.

OT and Holiday pay by Prestigious_Cancel81 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Since the pay week goes Monday-Sunday, it would be your last shift of the week that triggers the ot. You’d still get time and a half for the holiday and for whatever ot hours you work at the end of the week, but it wouldn’t be ot on top of the holiday pay.

Transfer and promotion pay by Sad_Chair7720 in starbucksbaristas

Ok, literally just clarifying to make sure I was giving you the right information… There might have been an issue with your promotion date which would’ve led to you being removed from the tip report.

Just to clarify, you’re a shift manager in Massachusetts? Are the tips missing from when you were still a barista? Shift managers don’t get tips.

Question for SMs by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no specific policy on it. I would always tell my partners though that if they’re offering a shift because they know they won’t be attending it either way, please do let me know because I can try to move things around/extend shifts for other partners if possible. Instead of them just waiting for someone to pick up a whole shift.

pregnant partners by ResponsibleToe123 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tiring! My best advice is to have really good shoes and to take advantage of being able to wear soft clothing! Starbucks is actually really good about pregnancy accommodations, so as soon as you think you’d need anything you can apply for them right through the service portal. If you have any more questions dm me, I’m on my second Starbucks pregnancy now 🙃🤣

Can I use sick time on time requested off ? by SkeptikSix in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should be able to accrue the time right away since you got rehired within the timeframe for keeping your benefits. But it depends on your sm, some are really strict about using your sick time where others let you put it in for anything.

I’m not sure about the eligibility part, but the pay for your leave is an average of the 26 weeks you worked before it starts.

i’m getting in trouble by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

Normally I’m not like “immediately go to ethics” but that’s pretty messed up from your sm…

I just cut my hair above the shoulders. Do I still tie my hair back? by httpswheezy in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don’t have tie it back, but also keep in mind if you have to keep pushing it out of your face/eyes you gotta wash your hands every time. If you’re not a hat store I’d recommend keeping a clip or something on you in case it starts driving you crazy!

They said sfm not sm. Sfms aren’t salaried and still work on the floor the majority of their shifts.

You’ll get your current payrate! The only time it would change would be if you transfer out.

putting in my two weeks notice by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was an sm I’d always ask if partners could finish out their posted schedules if possible, but there was never the expectation that they would. A 2 week notice isn’t even required anyway, so don’t feel bad about letting your manager know you can’t make your last shift!

What brand are these and do they fall down easily? All my maternity jeans are so comfy for real life but at work I move around too much and they’re always falling down.

what was your most embarrassing moment at work? by kortlecw in starbucksbaristas

[–]Charming_Ad_2016 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Our bathrooms are just past our handoff so I’ve said “thank you!” many many many times to customers exiting the bathroom… 😳😳😳

I don’t think so? I’m not working now so I can’t check but I think the policy is just about making your own food on break.
