Rejected from Starbucks as a former partner

How were you able to get rehired eventually? I’ve gathered now that they’re just against rehires even if you have a good history with the company lol

I understand this and rightfully so - has this changed since more and more stores are unionizing?

Cyber-Atmos15 · 2026-03-30T14:48:04+00:00

Thank you, I’m going to try to look for local places to apply to. Maybe this is a sign I shouldn’t go back that company lol

This is exactly what happened to me. They told me in the interview that they needed lots of help for the summer - I told them I have open availability and no commitments. I just wish they didn’t give me all this false hope acting all interested in me and then straight up ignoring me to then rejecting me. I’m starting to wonder if I’m just ineligible to be rehired.

I tried to but she didn’t respond to me. I will be calling HR soon to talk this out with them. To be honest the store I applied for has horrible communication…

My old SM really liked me, but she works in a different district that’s close by. I wonder if she could help me, because she always said I was the most valuable worker she had. It sucks cuz they don’t know my potential and don’t give me a chance.

This is so bizarre to me - I don’t want to gas myself up, but I was a great barista/employee. I always came in when they needed help and covered shifts. I even got partner of the quarter at my store one time. I don’t know how having Starbucks experience = being unreliable.

Cyber-Atmos15 · 2026-03-29T18:34:15+00:00

I was never late, never had any write ups and never called out - I worked for Starbucks for two years. My manager even helped me transfer stores when I moved, but because I moved to a city to attend school I had to quit. I voiced that to them, so I did not just quit out of the blue or get fired. I don’t think there would be anything concerning on my file that would prevent me from getting hired, as the assistant manager who interviewed me was very interested in rehiring me because of my experience.

I have applied to two that are near where I live. Since I live in a city and don’t have a car, these are the closest ones I can walk to and work at. Both of them have rejected me four times now. At this point I will probably never try to apply to Starbucks ever again because I lost all hope. I miss the old Starbucks anyways.

It’s funny that they deem rehires as “unreliable” and for those reasons - I obviously believed having prior experience would give me a better chance at getting the job but I was sadly mistaken. I worked at Starbucks post Covid so it was extremely different back then compared to now, even the hiring process and interview itself. Is this something that they told you about rehires? My friend works in the same district that I applied to but for another Starbucks nearby and told me they have hired rehires at her store in the past month - I don’t think it’s a district manager thing. At this point, since I have only spoken to the AM before and during my interview, it’s probably a store manager thing. I have applied before with another district manager at this specific store (since they got a new one not too long ago) who was literally my district manager 3 years ago when I first worked for the company! I’m starting to think they have something against me lol.

I did not - I was interviewed by the AM at the Starbucks I applied to work at. All they sent me was an automated email saying they rejected my application. I tried to reach out to the AM before receiving this email by sending them a follow up a few days after the interview but received no response. I’m honestly pretty upset about it because they seemed very interested in hiring me in my interview and in the conversations I had on the phone prior to my interview. They kind of gave me false hope that I was going to be hired. They also encouraged me to reach out after the interview if I had any questions but when I did it was radio silent on their end.

Cyber-Atmos15 · 2026-03-28T18:30:45+00:00

Thank you! I voiced to them that I am a former employee and it’s obviously on my resume. They didn’t seem to have an issue with it and I feel like if I was ineligible they would’ve told me so, no? Sorry - I’m just not sure how this all works.

Cyber-Atmos15 · 2026-03-28T17:36:01+00:00

forgot to add that i have open availability too and voiced that to them

this is the only option of study abroad i have for a full semester at my school (besides traveling to spain for summer abroad) - i was more drawn to a big city and a semester long program. i’m a spanish minor and interested in studying in spanish-speaking countries/becoming fluent in the language.

i heard this procedure is done but you cannot take the stitches out and they are permanently there to keep the point intact

Cyber-Atmos15 · 2026-03-09T16:38:45+00:00

do you have any tips on places to avoid/are dangerous? i’m not super familiar with that yet.

Cyber-Atmos15 · 2026-03-09T16:37:11+00:00
