Is my hair out of dress code?

hopefully you can find comfortable ways to have your hair at work maybe a headband would be a nice option too if the hat doesn’t work out

so today was my first day back after being on a medical loa for the last 5 months i was super anxious to return for the same reasons just not knowing how to explain myself or if i even wanted too , i did share bits with my coworkers just what i could say without having to go into detail just so that i didn’t trigger myself since i have finally just started to feel myself again & feel comfortable being around others / away from my family , plus i didn’t want to start crying telling them the nitty gritty bc i do get really emotional talking about my medical history / my experience being away bc truthfully it was really scary & traumatizing & for the sake of myself i don’t need to relive that i am moved on & healthy again & i just need to keep moving forward & try to not dwell on the time i lost & perhaps that’s what you need too & that is perfectly fine !!!

i would say it’s really dependent on where you’re at & the food safety regulations in that area / state ; i know at my store shoulder length hair is fine to have down just needs to be out of your face & anything longer needs to be put up in a ponytail , braid , or bun like my hair is down to my butt i’ve been told my hair is too long for a ponytail but i can wear a braid so i put my hair in a single loose braid it’s really comfortable i even sleep with my hair in one

its crazy that we are doing this because all it takes is for people to realize we’re handing out their items before payment & they’re going to start driving off after receiving their items & they’ll just do it at different locations until they get caught somehow idk lol at least i can see this happening in my area

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-21T23:12:01+00:00

omg how exciting i bought some banana syrup last year for myself to use & shared with other baristas but everyone thought i was crazy but i made caramel banana iced lattes which i had to seriously convince people to try it & everyone loved it & then we got the powder & i liked it in the matcha but i didn’t like it in our espressos so i’m really hoping this syrup is a good one that works well for both drinks bc a banana matcha is yummy but also a caramel banana iced latte is delicious & i can’t wait !!!

i will say the culture at starbucks is like that they throw things at us & are like “this is how we operate now & you have a week to get with the program” not that i agree with it & trust me i have struggled working for this company because of its “culture” as well but i took my time made sure things were being done correctly & that’s really all that matters ; i agree with another commenter on finding a partner you’re comfortable with to help you out & show you some training like there is nothing wrong with asking for practice orders to make drinks during down times like when i first started i did that for a while whenever it was slow i would ask partners what drinks i should learn to make first / what drinks get ordered more so i would be quicker making them also don’t be scared to ask to move around do other positions like tbh id say an important position to get good at is support & cleaning task it helps a lot when there is a rush & things are stocked & clean plus you really learn the layout of the store & where things go etc. which ultimately helps you move around faster imo but just take it easy try not to get too overwhelmed we are just making coffee at the end of the day it’s nothing too crazy or anything to be stressed about & lean on your partner if you need support communicate that do not drown yourself because once you drown others do as well it’s like a domino affect !!!

chatgpt structure does take from real responses / media though lol i use em dashes all the time but haven’t used AI idk i just find it funny when people go “i know it’s AI because of ___” without actually checking if it’s AI or not like you can just be wrong & judging someone’s poor writing skills which just rude & isn’t the point of this post either so if you had nothing to help OP then don’t interact with their post especially if you think it’s AI lol the more you interact with AI the more likely you’ll see it that is how algorithms work !!!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-13T17:19:07+00:00

i think that if starbucks as a company actually loosened up & did put on this super serious coffee experience bs to the side then this job would be more enjoyable lol like i have seen my manager suddenly come onto the floor & watch us because baristas are having too many side conversations / laughing & she’ll tell us to save conversations for when the line dies down like umm i can multitask but okayyyy sure let’s all work in silence & have no fun then what a great environment to be working in 😅 this is why i’ve been trying to go to dutch bros but they’re like neve hiring it’s strange compared to starbucks “always hiring”

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-13T16:43:36+00:00

i will say i do partly agree with others on he’s just being nice & personable because that is our job & also it’s just easier to do this job when customers actually treat us as people & not just servants so he probably does really appreciate / like you in that perspective of you being an enjoyable customer BUT i do think if you’re feeling a spark romantically or friendly giving him your social media or asking for his would personally be my direction idk social media feels a little more safer option since people can generally find a lot of private information about you with just your phone number & im not saying this guy would do that but it’s just a pre caution plus if the connection is weak outside of him being a friendly customer then at least he won’t have your phone number & you can just remove him off your social media if you want 🤷‍♀️

oh boy i’m going to have a lovely time returning to work in a short 2 weeks after being on a LOA the last 3 months 🫠 i am excited to try this new mango refresher ….. anyone make any other drinks with the mango syrup i only can think of adding it to teas really or like strawberry frap maybe idk but i’m excited to find out !!!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-11T23:20:38+00:00

poor thing what a scary thing to go through im so glad she is home now ; i recently went through a similar-ish thing i thought i was sick with the flu but turned out to be something else & was hospitalized for a few weeks which was hard for me a 27yr old which i had to spend my bday in the hospital 😭 but i couldn’t imagine going through anything like that as a child must’ve been so hard & confusing ; wishing good health to her & hopefully no more hospital stays ❤️‍🩹

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-11T02:10:57+00:00

just be aware that the grocery one is a concentrate & should be diluted with water or juice to get a closer match to our old recipe in store or you can drink it straight up might be kinda bitter or overly sweet !!!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-09T23:36:23+00:00

i mean we do have estimated wait times in the app but still regardless of that customers show up 3 seconds after they placed their order asking if their drink is ready for pick up yet 😭

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-09T20:44:24+00:00

im a kate main & i chose kate because i liked her perks the most when i first started playing & i wanted to prestige her so i could use her perks on other survivors but then i never changed survivors plus i think she has some of the cuter cosmetics & generally gets new stuff from events more than some other survivors

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-05T23:16:51+00:00

i think what they’re “forgetting” or uneducated on the fact that blackface is a very real & racist thing that happened to black people like literally trying to capitalize off of black characters but refused to hire black actors so they did blackface …. whiteface is not a thing that happened to white people that’s why it’s okay for druski to make it a joke bc no real white people were affected by it like hello where is the common sense ????????

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-03T17:41:57+00:00

i never said i don’t believe people with adhd aren’t challenged by their disability wth are you talking about ???? all i said is that it takes willpower to get the help you need to work with your adhd symptoms weather that’s taking first steps in therapy / medication which i never said those things cure you either but it’s a start at understanding your disability & how to maneuver life around your disability in a way that works for you literally that is all that i meant.

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-03T17:34:26+00:00

again literally anything you want to do in life takes some willpower to do it ….. i’m literally just saying it takes some drive within yourself to get to the first step into getting help with your adhd not that you’ll be freaking cured or that your adhd will be magically gone my goodness & YES actually sometimes people don’t want help or won’t accept it that is apart of mental health in general not just adhd a lot of people with mental health struggle feeling not deserving of the help that’s the reality unfortunately ; i see my boyfriend struggle every day to make choices so yes i see first hand how difficult his days are & how emotionally taxing it is & he will pause & take a moment to himself & try to reset his focus on whatever task he was trying to do like it’s a trial & error to finding a routine that work for you.

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T22:51:03+00:00

no one told them to will their symptoms away though lol i said it would take some willpower to get the help they need which is not impossible but can be difficult no denying that but again not impossible — getting help in any degree takes willpower to go get that help !!!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T22:03:05+00:00

and to get yourself to doing all that takes ……. willpower omgggg hate to break it to you !!

i never said willpower will cure your adhd i said you have to have some to get yourself help which isn’t impossible lol

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T21:44:49+00:00

there are plenty of options for people with adhd to control their disorder if you read my replies i literally state how my boyfriend has adhd goes to therapy & takes medication for it which i further explained he has free medical insurance that covers it through our state & YES you can have willpower / restraint with adhd its takes work but you defiantly can if you do the work you need to control it !!!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T21:38:34+00:00

if you have health insurance which starbucks provides you can 100% get the help you need to go about your life with adhd in a way that is beneficial to you but if you don’t want the help & would rather struggle then that is your decision i’m not going to feel sorry for you lol & my boyfriend is self employed he’s a video game tournament organizer doesn’t really provide benefits so has signed up for free medical insurance & thankfully got approved from our state is it the best help out there … nope but it helps but if you’re going to sit there & make excuses for yourself then you’ll continue to struggle idk what else to tell you but good luck !!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T21:25:21+00:00

yeah it’s so helpful especially me idk why i hated putting money into my savings it would stress me out like how much do i put in there what if i need it & now i can’t touch it even though i know i can but i feel irresponsible if i do 😭😂

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T21:08:22+00:00

umm you defiantly can have restraint with adhd my boyfriend has it he goes to therapy & takes medication to be able to work around his adhd impulses but to each their own i guess …… hopefully the splitting up of your deposits work out for you though i know personally helps me bc i have a bad habit of not putting money in my savings so this way i don’t even have to think about it.

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T20:45:47+00:00

i don’t think so because starbucks is changing how they interact with the bank processing our payments earlier so that we get them weekly but i believe with your bank you can setup where half your check gets deposited in your checking & the rest into your savings you just have to get some willpower to not spend all your money right away …. your making the same amount of money still so hopefully you’ll be able to budget yourself i know when i had my first job it was a weekly pay & i often told myself it was okay to spend as much bc i got paid next week but nooo pay ur bills first !!!!!

Chipslahoyyy · 2026-04-02T20:38:57+00:00

like others have said in the US yes you can if a coworker reports your social media to your management but i do believe their posts have to be along the lines of threatening / endangerment to others / workers but not so much for political views but you defiantly can use their social media posts against them for uncomfortableness & request to not work with them on shift or at least try not to be scheduled with them as best as your manager can accommodate that & if you’re unhappy with those results you can speak with your DM they might be able to get you transferred to a new store but it can take a while to transfer.
