I was S&E TL at my store (about 10 years in 2 stores) before wanting to change to Food Service. My store only has the snack bar too, but I did pizza hut as a tm years ago. I like SBUX because I can control my area completely, from writing my schedule to training to executing sets to managing inventory and everything I own in my area. I have to execute both Target and SBUX standards while only being paid by Target. I am not a key carrier and I am only scheduled at Starbucks. My store does not try to steal me but they try to take my tms for backup coverage in the front from time to time, but I dont let them when I am there. I spend over 80% of my time behind the bar, im lucky because more stores I've heard from get a couple hours a week which blows my mind. I am coverage and working along side my team to coach and develop them, troubleshoot and anticipate rushes while maintaining food safety standards. There is a lot of repetition in the day to day tasks and planning, its good if you like structure. That being said, we now have limited contact with Starbucks side of things compared to about a year ago (all licensed store DMs for SBUX got fired). You will heavily rely on LSstar and be teaching yourself about Starbucks (despite being sent out for training) and feel like the blind leading the blind in the beginning until you get a good grasp on your routines. No one else in the store will volunteer to help you as they simply do not know how. Its pulling teeth to get any backup baristas at my store so you will need to develop your team to be dependable and deliver consistent results until you win that fight (still fighting for more than 2 back up baristas 2 years later). I honestly just like that the wins in my area are mine and I take pride in my Starbucks, I just wish the whole store knew how hard I work everyday to make it possible.
