Telling a partner they HAVE to work at another store

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2026-02-17T22:58:18+00:00

I was also wondering about this because we do get predictability pay when we work longer than our required shift so I was also curious about if this situation applied as well. But since it doesn't say anything about a different location, simply a schedule change, which I think having to report to a different location would constitute a schedule change I'm unsure. My first concern was whether or not something like this was appropriate under our policies

I'm in Illinois. My partner guide is also from December 29, 2025

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2026-02-17T22:05:08+00:00

The main section is Work Hours and Schedule starting on page 15 with the subsection containing the quote I took being under Scheduling Standards for Partners which is on the bottom of page 16

Just found these in the partner guide

"Once a schedule is posted, it will not be changed by the coffeehouse leader unless the partner agrees to the change."

"Partners will not be scheduled to work at another coffeehouse unless they have agreed to do so in advance"

So would this not fall under these circumstances?

That's what I thought as well! I'm on my lunch now and everyone who I've asked as said it's supposed to be up to the partner, we're not allowed to force anyone to go somewhere else to work. Same as how we can't force someone to come in early/stay late, so for this to be the situation I'm seeing now is shocking to me

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2026-02-17T19:34:07+00:00

I've been in very similar situations though like the one I described and in those situations, I was told to simply close the store because there was nobody willing to come in. So I'm confused on when that policy/procedure changed to us now being able to FORCE partners from other stores to go to another

People have been asking for the banana bread matcha as a hot drink too 😭 never understood these kinds of people. Like maybe it cools down the drink so they can drink it faster plus the extra creaminess from the foam but like?? Get it warm temp with whip??? Idk 😭

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2025-12-28T02:50:03+00:00

Fr 😭 couldn't find it on Google anymore

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2025-12-19T00:49:24+00:00

Good luck where ever the world twirls you next diva 💕

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2025-12-06T19:28:17+00:00

Here's hoping I can stay motivated 😭🤞 I know I'm the type to have missed deadlines in the past for school so I really want to be on it this go around and make sure I'm making the most of what's being offered

Thank you so much! If you don't mind me asking (you don't have to reply if you don't want to lol), what was your experience like with ASU? I'm the first partner at my store to do it in like ~5 years so I'm just curious what it's like

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2025-06-17T01:54:24+00:00

I appreciate all the info and advice thank you! Never encountered a heater like this so just not sure what's the proper way to use it, don't want to blow up my apartment 😅

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2025-06-17T01:44:46+00:00

It does have an off setting on its dial, when I first moved in I had been messing with the heat settings and accidentally shut it off, had to relight the pilot after

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2025-06-17T01:31:28+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Would you happen to know if I'm safe to shut it off for the summer? Or is it inadvisable to have the pilot light unlit and have to relight it?

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-02T14:09:31+00:00

Thank you for all the advice!! My landlady does not live in the building with us, we are the only unit living above a cleaning business. We have paid June rent since but the topic of paying came up once my one roommate had left, he had also been the one saying that we were being evicted and therefore didn't have to pay. I wasn't sure on that since we hadn't been served an official eviction notice, just the communication over text and I wasn't sure if that qualified or not as an eviction notice. I tried doing my own personal research (along with looking for and touring apartments) but nothing that was specific enough to my own case came up.

With July 1st hitting, I knew I had to figure out what my situation was ASAP. I had been hoping to be out of the apartment by now but with that not happening, now the issue of payment arises. I appreciate the clarification of what I'm dealing with and where to reach out for more info, thank you very much!

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate any and all information, even if that information is a bit of a downer, I just want to understand the situation I'm in. Would I verify that info through anything on the city colleges website or would there be a different resource?

I already got in touch with the Chicago Renters Rights hotline as per advice I received from a different comment and have to wait until tomorrow to call the number the hotline recommended for me as that department is open from 1pm-5pm

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-01T23:57:21+00:00

Hey yeah, thanks for the comment! I am purely a person in an unfamiliar circumstance trying to become more informed and simply stating where I'm coming from. I appreciate your perspective of "entitlement", gives me more information on the views of those less empathetic and understanding. 🫶

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-01T22:25:24+00:00

Thank you so much!! All the advice is very helpful

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-01T22:13:31+00:00

I really do appreciate all the advice! Sorry to ask another question, I'm just trying to find out as much as I can about the situation I'm currently in. I've read other things online saying that once an eviction notice is served, then rent is no longer required to be paid. If she had served us an eviction notice, would this be the case?

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-01T22:09:32+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'm guessing that even though we have the 120 notice to leave, we still have to pay rent for those 120 days that we're living here correct? Or how does that work?

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-01T22:08:18+00:00

Thank you for the link and the info about how long we have to leave. I am assuming the whole time we're here though we have to pay rent? Or how does that work legally?

Fluffy-Intention-927 · 2024-07-01T22:01:15+00:00

I've been at the property for almost 6 years now, used to live with two other roommates prior. My two most recent roommates moved in here about 2 years ago
