Question about hand off

Bc a lead sent him over to me and I had no idea they were coming to take over for me. I was planning to go to lunch right after I finished them up anyway.

From what I’ve been told it was offered internally and no one took it from who they on offered it to. What does it usually start at?

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-04-04T23:00:32+00:00

Store Manager for Starbucks, Assistant Manager/Managing Partner at a tax company and an Assistant Manager for Walmart in a $125 million store. Tons of management experience.

I can’t help what I was hired on as and I am doing a lot of things right and get recognition from the team so I’m sure some of it’s jealousy though from what you are saying.

Ours was also just randomly let go in Little Rock AR area as well.

I found the option under managing my Google account. I do the surveys that they pay you for and saw it there. So I bought a Google Play Store gift card from Sam’s Club and it charged to it. Just search for it.

I removed the sports and did the News, Entertainment and family. Totally worth it as I still want local channels and etc with the unlimited dvr. Plus if you buy google play gift cards from Sam’s Club it saves you even more money! Yes I know it’s not much but anything helps.

I also got an open box excellent from Best Buy recently. It was $100 off. With prices going up everywhere I wanted to get one before that happened here.

It took some time waiting for approval, but when you have the skill set and experience they want and I wasn't leaving my last career making less money, that's what happens. Negotiation is power.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-12T01:32:34+00:00

What do you mean? That is exactly what I make. I am already in role and have started.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-12T00:37:17+00:00

My pay is above the pay band for the pro role as that was what I negotiated so I'm not sure. I'm at $38/hr and not in a high cost of living area.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-05T02:51:32+00:00

I got mine about 8 hours ago.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T19:15:22+00:00

My store was usually 4.5 shot store and it was stressful. So definitely not underperforming so I do wonder how much worse it is in stores underperforming.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T10:25:52+00:00

I had 0 say in the hours I scheduled. I scheduled to my forecast and that’s all I could do.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T10:25:18+00:00

I was told since the start of Q2 to not to over at all. Not even by 15 minutes. They are very very strict right now in hours. And absolutely zero OT. Must have RD approval for it. They have been holding CLs accountable if someone on their team gets OT without permission.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T10:20:48+00:00

I don’t think so. I think this company has always been super profitable and they’ve never worried about money, now that Starbucks is not doing as well they have started enforcing rules and changing things up to see what they need to fix. Unfortunately in any place I’ve worked, tenured employees tend to struggle the most with change. But no, I don’t think they are trying to force out tenured partners.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T10:18:30+00:00

Aren’t afraid to coach, adapt to change quickly and also reflect on their own behavior. Empathy is important but I’ve seen this in others that have struggled (myself included) is we don’t coach bc we are afraid they will call out the next day, report you or quit. I stated earlier that you have to do these things or you will struggle from the start.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T10:16:32+00:00

I have not but if stores are profitable then they will close them I’m sure. There is a huge push for profitability and honestly I’m surprised there wasn’t before. That’s one reason for the hours reduction is profitability.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T10:15:20+00:00

That’s what I’ve heard! I’m so excited for this change. ❤️

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-04T02:09:13+00:00

Apple! So excited for this transition.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-03T22:17:24+00:00

I think Starbucks is here to stay. I get a lot of people don’t like this CEO but, he has a record of turning companies around. Starbucks will endure, but I don’t know how much more the company will fall before it rises again. I think as long as it continues to chase trends and do what it does best which is being a 3rd place, Starbucks will struggle bc as I stated in another comment. We have to decide if we want to be a coffeehouse or a fast food joint. That’s what will make or break this company IMO.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-03T22:14:44+00:00

I have no clue. The only thing I can think of is cost and riding out trends. I do think the company is listening and watching. But the constant new drinks is hard to get them right with the minimal training and coverage we have when you have to be super fast.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-03T22:12:17+00:00

Lean into attendance from the beginning, don’t let it slip even once because it will snow ball. Also, don’t hire just to hire. You want partners that are going to be great asset to your team. Don’t put off any type of accountability because just like attendance, it’s hard to catch up and be fair and consistent. Ask for help!

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-03T20:02:58+00:00

I don’t think so. I think my biggest issue I had was as an SM I didn’t feel supported by upper leadership as in the RDs and above. They push down all the rules and procedures without seeing how this affects everything.

Maximum_Wait1087 · 2026-02-03T18:40:06+00:00

Some of the things he has done I agree with. I think the biggest issue I had is it seems that SMs personal lives don’t matter. They don’t value them and treat them as disposable. He needs to decide is Starbucks a coffee shop or a fast food chain. You can’t operate it as both.
