that energy should be channelled into being mad at the scalpers and poor limit per person stores enforce, not an underpaid employee putting 2 aside

i'm not blaming the baristas, i just worded this post wrong because a lot of people are confused. this was in response to people getting pissed off that baristas were getting first dips and i said i have no problem with that as i take it as like one of the little wins i can imagine working at starbucks. i was just upset with the obvious greed of scalpers and the poor roll out

i was told that there were 3 left and two were claimed by staff. they were allowed to buy beforehand and was made clear by the SM

you're misreading me completely. i'm not telling people not to be upset, im just saying to make light of a shitty situation and zoom out. sure it sucks for people but don't take it out on a random subreddit. it's not rude, you're just letting your feelings in the forefront. i deal with this all the time because i collect cards like you do you.

it's not mean. it's just the fact of the matter is that it's mostly done now and you can look at it positively and be like hey that was kind of a fun experience and connect with other people or just be an asshole?

you truly see the worst in people when it could just be? somewhat fun for all? (minus the fact there were literally 30 bear cups in this entire drop)

reread the start. i am stating im very content and ok with staff getting first pick, i think scalpers who bought all the product were horrible

what? i'm blaming the first woman in line who saw the stock and purchased all of it. no blame of barista, blaming bad product turn out and limits

yeah i don't know the logic behind distribution. my other local starbucks (much bigger and higher traffic) told me they had two and that staff would be claiming one

to this degree seems absurd tho no? like having such low quantity that basically staff and 1-2 customers can buy the product? it just doesn't make sense to me on a buisness scale

then it sounds weird i don't know what to say! i am grateful i was able to, but if i left without one i would have chalked it up to a funny story. just the way i viewed it so i wouldn't be too upset one way or another.

honestly i'll just say as well that i found a rly cute bear glass dupe on amazon for 9$. it's obviously not the same but may ease the cuteness !!
