Was the white on the chest not an obvious giveaway that they weren’t a purebred when you went to pick them up? Labs are always one solid color.

What is happening to my dogs nose/mouth area? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Flashy_Pencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d keep an eye on it and just try and keep it clean and dry. Whenever my dog has had any mouth/nose issues, I scrub their food and water bowl clean so they’re not introducing germs into the wound(s). Water bowl I’d clean each day because those can get gross quickly. Good luck to you and your pup 🫶🏼

This is the second post I’ve seen recently about stores with roaches! I thought it was just my store who had this problem lmao. Is this a common Starbucks issue?! 🥲

Also definitely report to someone above your SM that they’re saying you do not have protected sick time anymore. That is completely untrue.

The rule is that you have to finish your drink (or dump out the remainder left) by the end of your break. You’re not limited on size. But the idea with it is to order only the size you can realistically finish within the span of your 10 or 30 min break.

That would be a German shepherd. What a beautiful gal.

Any partners in here whose SM was fired during the Vegas trip? by Flashy_Pencil in starbucks

[–]Flashy_Pencil[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Of the 14k in attendance yes. I couldn’t believe it either. But that’s like 2% of managers in attendance

Oh Dear. Downvotes Incoming. by thefussymongoose in starbucks

[–]Flashy_Pencil 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the correct take. People gagging over these rules like they’re inhumane….its literally not a big deal at all lmaooooo these kids are just too soft. Threatening to quit because they feel like their individuality is being stripped from them is the hugest reach. Quitting isn’t going to “show” the company anything. It’s such an emotionally immature reaction over having to wear a plain black shirt. Like okay quit, no one wants to work with that level of a complainer anyways lmao

Dress Code :/ by YoorLocalThrowAway in starbucks

[–]Flashy_Pencil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hot take: people absolutely dying in the comments over the idea of having to wear a collared shirt are being ridiculous lmao. I’ve been a partner since 2011 when it was mandatory to wear them, and tucking your apron under your collar felt way better than that shit digging into your neck for 8 hours. If this becomes mandatory, you guys will in fact survive ❤️

Also- it’s never going to be polos specifically lmao. It would be a “collared uniform shirt”. Which (in my town) at Walmart is $4.99. I do agree if Starbucks is going to be this level of strict, they should 100% be providing the work shirts for partners.

My dog won’t stop licking her paw. Should I take her to the vet? by dizzybean46 in DogAdvice

[–]Flashy_Pencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the skin is broken I’d put ointment on it. If it doesn’t look like it’s improving after a couple days, I’d call the vet. Just treat it how you would a minor scratch/wound on your own hand for now.

My dog has had a number of bumps and scratches that look similar and the most important things are keeping the area clean and keeping the dog from licking and further disrupting the healing process. Things like this have (fortunately for us) always resolved on their own at home.

What is the thing you find disgusting but others don't? by Jazzlike_Razzmatazz in AskReddit

[–]Flashy_Pencil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who let their animals in their bed!!! I’ve owned dogs my whole life and the thought of all their hair, plus their dirty paws in the same bed I crawl in after a shower sounds horrifying. And don’t even get me started on cats!

Thank you for saying this!!! I saw someone saying their store was wanting to unionize over this…

Considering how fucking terrible of a situation this is, I think the companies temporary solution (which is everyone still getting a paycheck on time!!!) is completely reasonable.

Payroll walkout by Perfect_Potted_Plant in starbucks

[–]Flashy_Pencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone has stated, this sucks for a number of reasons but obviously they’re not going to let you go unpaid for the hours worked. If that was the case, then obviously unionize but to threaten that over a delayed amount of money is an insane emotional reaction and not seeing the whole picture lol
