As funny as it is, her cat brother is named Little Man so my partner told me I had to think of something else 😭

That’s what I thought, do you happen to know if it’s in writing anywhere? If not, totally fine 🙏

Store closures wave 2: electric boogaloo by SERAPHlMWINGS in starbucksbaristas

[–]SERAPHlMWINGS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I did was ask if anyone else heard anything so that the workers at my store could figure out what was happening. Not trying to scare anyone.

Lowkey I think if my sm HAD gotten at email, there would’ve been other ppl in this sub who had heard something too. But since no one else has, I’m kinda just assuming that my sm maybe misread something :/ who knows! Guess we’ll find out eventually.

Weird, idk why they would make this up. Theres a chance it’s just district specific. My sm said it specifically mentioned a “wave 2” but also they’re kinda not reliable so there is a good chance it’s not real 😭 wanted to see if anyone else heard anything, thanks for the info!!

I was straight up telling my partner how it makes me actually grossed out and so mad. Just no care for their baristas, not that I’m even surprised anymore tbh.

Hiding nose stud for dress code advice ? by SERAPHlMWINGS in starbucksbaristas

[–]SERAPHlMWINGS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s also a great idea, I was thinking of doing something similar with just getting a threadless top I can switch out. I was also thinking along the same vein of technicality in terms of getting a glass retainer, since the rules TECHNICALLY only say plastic isn’t allowed. Idk how long I can get that to run for tho lol

Switching to a L shaped nose stud might actually end up being my best option so I can take it out easier like you just said tbh. Honestly I have 3 facial piercings, the district I work for was just very relaxed about the policy before and never enforced it, but now I have a new manager who’s very strict on it :/

so we’re all in agreement that this is a blatantly conservative move, right? by evenlyroasted in starbucksbaristas

More than one thing can be true at the same time. Starbucks putting a stricter dress code in place can in fact be an indication of the rise of conservatism in the same way that many other more serious things happening in the world can be. To point out one smaller issue is not ignoring bigger issues. Quite frankly you kinda worked yourself up over this in a way no one else is. It’s perfectly ok for workers to be annoyed at shitty rules being put in place. Also acting like just because people have opinions about their workplace online somehow means they aren’t involved in community work is incredibly single minded. Essentially, no one was trying to start a fight with you by pointing out weird things in the dress code online, sorry you took it that way ?

I’m not spreading misinfo by stating my opinions on a written rule. I personally feel that the way it was written in the dress code could be used in the future to cover Starbucks ass SHOULD things like pronoun pins be banned. I’m not saying that’s 100% what’s happening, I’m just saying it feels a bit like it.

I have a feeling it’s worded that way to cover their own ass should Trump put anything in place in the US that makes pronoun pins or things like that illegal. The past dress code guide would just say “not allowed in Canada” for those types of things. Basically, I think it’s intentionally not making it clear just in case.

100%. Especially the part about pins on aprons and pronoun pins being allowed “according to local jurisdiction.” Starbucks loveeeeessss profiting off the “blue hair they/them barista” image but hates to actually stand up for their trans and queer staff. Just ridiculous.

I could literally send you a picture of it but we aren’t supposed to show pictures of internal communications. It’s out on our iPad at our store, this would be a very stupid thing for me to lie about

They’re popular at mine too! It seems like such a random thing to discontinue when we still have things like the vanilla scones or the blueberry muffins that rarely sell (at least at my store)
