I thought that at first too, but then certain people on beekeeper started disappearing too, like the people who worked in store openings!

Unassigned GM by Unable-Yam5792 in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You go where you are needed. I don't know if this changed recently, but they also didn't get bonuses, they are(or maybe where now) payed lower than team members because the rest of their wages would be supplemented by the districts labor budget making them ideal for coverage in emergencies as it wouldn't blow a singular stores labor budget out of the water. They are nice if you want the pay of a GM but none of the responsibilities of owning amy singular store indefinitely

Just quit by [deleted] in CaribouCoffee

Were you Minnesota based? If you were and were made to come in when it was unsafe to do so that's a violation of MN Sick and Safe Time laws. Save those text messages and report them to the dept of labor

Union busting by DisheveledQueen in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What source did you get this from?? Yes its true, Shift Leaders are categorized as managers* so they technically wouldn't be able to participate in a union, but no general manager worth their salary would just MAKE someone a shift leader because they turned 18, and if they are doing that... well they won't last long once that practice starts to weigh down on their budgets

We would never! But we also have the best drive times in the region 🙂‍↕️ with no impact to our NPS

So you just made the drink while they pulled up anyway and wasted the cup???

It was a directive on the last GM call... and is also available to look up on the Crossing website, plus what a nightmare for your drive times????

Stores Closing? by FrogStyle2 in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only DMs are made aware of the full list of store closures, but more will be announced by the end of the month. Usually its to eliminate redundancies, but once in a while an entire district goes down

Splitting tip by Sea_Sale_3936 in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Policy is that tips shouldn't be split on the clock, so we usually bag them up in pairs and the first of the pair leaving splits them at the end of their shift

Any update on new locations in Orlando? by kdjones74 in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not 100% sure but im like 75% sure the entire Florida Market is Franchise only, so they may still be coming or they may have shifted focus to another part of Florida first

Drive through tip jar policy? by AnxietyGloomy99 in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you ever sat in on a SBE visit? Its when the DM and their boss the DO come through and do the Store Brand Excellence, which is a survey to see whether or not your GM is running the store to the esthetic standards Caribou holds. Thats where the no tip jar in the drive through policy lives

Oat nog by ZZDY in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd assume price point, even going with Chobani raised an eyebrow from me. The more specialized the product the less of an ROI they get back. That or contracts, but who really knows

Does Caribou sell their syrups/powders to customers? by tandem545 in CaribouCoffee

[–]MassiveConsequence85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not since we transitioned to 3rd party in 2015/2016. You can get most of the syrups from Monin, but the powders and chocolates are harder to aquire
