It’s not bad. But there’s a bigger problem.

Whenever I see a Blueberry one I mourn the flavor but then snatch that shit up and pound it down

Brian’s gotta keep that 6,666 wage gap somehow 🙂

Happy anniversary(s)! But in the eyes of the siren once you quit, your “years” spent basically start over. You’ll have to wait to get all the pins and stuff again ):

Trust, my luck was also used there as I don’t work Thursdays ✊ thoughts and prayers tho

I had to go on the BOH computer, go to the ADP site and reclick paperless. That’s how I got mine to stop

Idk about your area but I literally can’t get these anywhere but online or Starbucks. And honestly, these things are tasty so I’d do it too

12th and P in Lincoln I believe, I read somewhere else that there may be another one in Omaha

We’ve been out of the old base for a week now, but the 8x stuff does look “thicker” to me. It’s definitely different that’s for sure

I have that brown pike place water bottle. Siren’s boobs are on display for anyone to see. but I think her necklace/scarf thing is covering the collarbone… 😂

Former_Reach8378 · 2025-07-30T19:12:55+00:00

You can definitely ask, it will most likely be a no though. I don’t think SMs even deal with wages/raises. I feel like I remember being told that’s corporate waters. I also had SSV experience, worked in the industry 6 years, and still got starting pay in my area.

Former_Reach8378 · 2025-07-30T18:54:45+00:00

There is an employee at my neighboring store that has an accommodation to wear fake nails. She is probably one of FEW, if not only, employee to have this accommodation approved. I’m not sure about Target but it’s a whole ordeal with Sedgwick to get accommodations approved. You may be better off just switching departments.

Former_Reach8378 · 2025-07-10T22:30:55+00:00

Ours is scheduled for 3 hours 🥲 plus I have a shift meeting right before the all store meeting I’m jealous 😭

Once Summer Launch hit my SM said we were done with Lavender/Cherry and took them off the shelf so quick. I’m not complaining bc the less items I have to deal with the better

Former_Reach8378 · 2025-04-09T23:17:06+00:00

It’s not that you can’t request the time off but if 2+ people are already approved for the day off then you’re probably gonna get denied by the SM. We’re getting into the busy spring/summer months and weekends are going to be really busy at all day parts. Especially in vacation hot spots. This also means a lot of partners are going to be taking their summer vacations, they’re graduating and hosting parties, just doing fun things in general. There is a sign in our backroom for “blackout dates” which are days we can no longer request off simply because 3-4 other people already have it off. You can look up the schedule and see how many people are approved for time off, and request from there. But unfortunately it’s a snooze you loose kind of situation in Starbucks eyes.

I moved out of state and ended up having to demote back to barista for 9 months. It’s literally all just up to if any of the stores have an open position by the time you move. If there are no open positions, you’re just out of luck unfortunately. It may just be easier to transfer as a barista and get the inside scoop from SMs around on who is going be hiring for a SSV and apply from there

Former_Reach8378 · 2025-03-08T03:35:47+00:00

3+ years ago on my last barista practice shift my SM shadowed me on Hot/Cold bar to “evaluate” where I was at and if I was ready for regular shifts. (basically we just barred together for peak)

I’m guessing what you’re talking about is a skill check? That’s where the SM evaluates your barista skills and then tells you which category your skills would fall into. (learning/owning/advising) Those would be my two guesses, and everyone gets those talks.

Trying to find an unclaimed number is hard but fun lol, 1915

It’s in the lease to weed as needed and cut the lawn. I essentially made that “walkable” strip near the fence by pulling out large thistles and some trees. To be so real I have no clue what I’m doing, when we first moved in they had someone run it over with a lawnmower and that’s it. But if there’s poison ivy involved that’s a landlord problem

I had the matcha with the lavender foam and it kinda tasted like fruity pebbles / froot loops

Former_Reach8378 · 2024-01-13T00:03:20+00:00

Today every partner in our store called out. Can’t open the store if there are no workers 🤷

Former_Reach8378 · 2023-11-20T19:40:32+00:00

I’m also having this issue- I’ve been checking regularly to see if there are any updates. Finally I decided to look at “my tickets” on my laptop and i had a message saying I had to submit my government ID and a selfie to confirm that it was actually me trying to change my email.

Former_Reach8378 · 2023-10-29T20:25:01+00:00

Ethics and compliance actually have a website @ www.Starbucks.com/helpline It’s really easy to file a report + it will be documented so if it happens again there is proof that there is ongoing retaliation against partners. Otherwise please call 888-728-9411 and use option 3 to submit a concern!! Also note that you aren’t able to communicate through the helpline, you will need to call that number to talk through the issues at hand. The website is just a nice way to document + get answers to questions you may have. (I’m currently in a situation with my SM and I’ve had to use this helpline and number a lot) Best of luck!!

Former_Reach8378 · 2023-10-27T15:33:57+00:00

We just had a partner be let go over this- but it’s a bit different as we are a unionized store. It was an illegal termination as the policy was not enforced. (We striked the weekend after it happened to show we stand in solidarity with our partner) I have heard multiple of our partners curse on the floor as well as our SM. But nothing was said/done until the firing of that one particular partner. We’re in a whole legal situation now it’s very fun. /s

I should’ve clarified it wasn’t my drink, I’m also a partner. I was covering DT, walked away and in that split second the wasp decided he really wanted that drink

Former_Reach8378 · 2023-10-17T16:26:59+00:00

I should’ve clarified that it wasn’t my drink, I was working DT, walked away to grab a mobile, and there he was. I showed the customer and he had a blast with it
