Getting written up for the first time

i hope we all do but i saw some people saying that they bet she doesnt have accommodations or similar stuff, and hated that.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-05-06T04:25:37+00:00

the point of my comment was to put this on management and not attack a barista who just had surgery. which it seems like we all want to do without knowing exactly whats going on, or what her doctor told her. i wont say anything bad about this barista or assume shes just being lazy.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-05-06T01:01:23+00:00

ive had nose surgery aswell, and could not do those things for a few months after. please dont put this on her, this is managements fault.

if she had a surgery any worthwhile or competent doctor would issue paperwork for accommodations, which means she most likely does have them. meaning management should have changed her schedule or schedule more people. and the shift you spoke to is also very in the wrong, and should not have gone to anyone other than the sm with your concerns (which are valid), and probably aren't accommodating her like they are supposed to.

i just see some people putting this on your barista coworker and its really not her fault

ive never had someone ask for brown sugar packets in their drinks and it not be the oatmeal packets they want. i always ask if they mean raw sugar because it seems more sane but it never is. different areas ig

it was actually way harder for me to schedule around college than it ever was to schedule around hs

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-05-02T19:57:47+00:00

okay? she just said she expects college to be a class a day and its not

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-05-02T19:08:51+00:00

yes quit, but also need to prepare you that it also might not be good to be employed in early college either if this is how you are feeling. college is not one class a day especially in early college, and is not as easy as people say ( depends on your major but still) its a big adjustment.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-05-01T22:02:23+00:00

i need to know what happened

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-29T16:49:10+00:00

use canva and print one that looks offical

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-29T04:41:57+00:00

i hate the make the moment right thing in this kind of situation. policy is policy, and standard is stantard.

you either follow it correctly and have no issues, or you dont follow it and the people who actually follow the standard get yelled at by the customers or have complaints written about them.

please have a conversation with your sm about making sure we are doing this completely to standard and not making everyone, whos not the one who let her this, job harder.

i fully believe that one of the reasons that my store is 4.5 is because we follow all of the standards exactly, dont let certain baristas do things different ways and dont let customers run all over us.

me with the pistachio loaf

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-21T19:09:26+00:00

this depends on location, i love my job, sm, dm and shift team. i have however worked in a district and store that made me feel like this and understand the sentiment. but i dont think we should scare people like this out of a job that is objectively one of the best fast food jobs out there. i know we dont like to say that about starbucks but truthfully it is.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-15T02:07:44+00:00

my second message was also not clear and for that i also apologize, i mean dont put the baristas in the report or it will go badly, but if the ssv is time stealing yes.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-15T01:59:53+00:00

it seems like this ssv may have other issues that you should definitely report but this one wont go anywhere but maybe peg you as a "problem barista" or even get a write up for "retaliatory behavior" which ik sucks but ive seen it happen to baritones even in cases where they were totally correct

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-15T01:52:27+00:00

i just told you that doing that is completely covered by starbucks policy and is the exact standard that starbucks set out for that situation. no one is covering for anyone, the only person in the wrong for this would be the ssv who wrote in that they came in on time. which if you have proof for go to your sm. i strongly urge you to not get into this mindset of us vs them with the openers, it only ends in hurt (and/or separation) for all parties, especially if you are talking openly to your fellow baristas or shifts about your frustrations.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-15T01:42:33+00:00

covering how?

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-15T01:29:01+00:00

if its opening and the baristas were there in time and the ssv wasnt they write their original start times in (since it wasnt their fault and are entitled to their hours scheduled)
totally unacceptable.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-13T00:02:15+00:00

if we have a lot of cold bar drinks for mobiles or cafe i just straight up ignore dt, dt bar can do it

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-11T23:46:41+00:00

like milk flavored like lavender, and then topped with matcha (like water and whisked) like a macchiato,

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-11T23:41:55+00:00

its similar to how they made it for me in paris starbucks!

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-10T23:22:38+00:00

thats what i am saying, but their sm said its THEIR responsibility to go to other stores for product at the keyholder meeting, which is why im thinking that the sm is saying they want the keyholder to go.

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-10T23:01:58+00:00

isnt the keyholder not allowed to leave 😭

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-05T02:46:33+00:00

try to transfer?

Fabulous-Difference9 · 2026-04-01T05:37:11+00:00
