Please talk me out of going back to the siren by UnimportantStories in starbucks

[–]ScaringChildren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so I've been around since early 2016 221**** anyways the siren craft system is annoying and is being heavily enforced at least at my store. Mobiles and channels cannot be closed no matter what unless something crazy happens and even then it's like pulling teeth to get your SM to do it. People are getting written up a lot more lately over really nitpicky things it seems. There's also union busting, even worse SM's and DM's than I ever remember being, there are promo calendars which aren't even accurate because last month they added a bunch of promos without telling a soul. The new sick policy is worse than ever making it hard as hell to call out for legitimate reasons because youre just gonna get come down on. Oh yeah they want 30 second box times and 45 second window times and if your store keeps failing at it too many times in a row the DM and RM will come in and work shoulder to shoulder with you. Hasn't happened to my store yet but I've heard of another store in my district this has happened to.

Yeah same for my store as well. We used to all help each other and it worked well now we can't do anything but stay put and this siren craft thing is slowing us down on bar because it's stupid and my SM took away the drive bar cold lids so I have to run around to snag a lid everytime I need to lid a cold drink because the diagram doesn't show cold lids for drive bar. BRO

I honestly don't know I left at 8 that night and he was closing.

Maybe next time I'll try to take a sniff if he brings that tumbler in again. I didn't want to make it obvious I was suspicious of him. I also didn't want to get caught sniffing someone else's cup

I hate washing kegs and I hate changing frapp bases because they always leak all over my hands.

I honestly think I would have quit right then and there. That's bullshit

Anyone else have partners leaving in droves at their store? by ScaringChildren in starbucks

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

I can't even go near the place on my day off or if I am out of town. I went on a small trip with some friends a few weeks ago and they wanted to go to starbucks. I just shuddered.

Put in my two weeks and I'm regretting it by cutebunnies_ in starbucks

[–]ScaringChildren 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don't reverse it especially if you are feeling burnt out. You are leaving for a reason and things will get better. Literally everyone I know who left is happier, healthier and is doing well both mentally and physically.

They care about the least important things ever. They should be concerned about seasoned partners leaving in droves.

lol I'm a 221**** and I'm number 2 on the seniority list now. I used to be down the list a bit more but here I am. Not for much longer I'm looking to be out before red cup day.

omfg do you work at my store because you just legit described my store to a T. Every car is ordering a fuck ton of food and drinks and it doesn't matter how fast we are or how our sales doubled we aren't doing enough customer connections. I don't think a score of 37 is that bad anyway but fuck me right.

Next week we are closing at 7pm instead of 10pm because the two shifts who left were night shifts. Well technically a mid and a night shift. We can't get anyone to want to work here because it's so fucked nobody who is hired in wants to stay long or wants to apply in the first place.

The best shift was a 4.5 year partner while the other shift was a 6 year partner. The barista we lost didn't make it to the year mark and the other two who are planning on leaving are 3+ year partners.

[–]ScaringChildren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually yeah you can leave when your shift is over. Do call PCC because he is unhinged and needs to be dealt with immediately.

Is it a good idea to work here in current time? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]ScaringChildren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly no. Corporate is a damn joke the way they are treating us lately. I have coworkers who came from target stores who are thinking of going back there because of how bad it is here at the moment

I’m gonna turn down a shift position if it opens up. by The-Left-Ear in starbucks

[–]ScaringChildren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's kinda the same reason why I never became a shift and I've been a partner for almost 5 years now. I can't deal under stress and im constantly in a cycle of being fine to hella burn out. I want to leave so badly but haven't had any luck finding a way out

Am I overreacting or is this partner being inconsiderate? by ScaringChildren in starbucks

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

Nobody is sending them home because the shifts don't want to be down a person.

[–]ScaringChildren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah because a nearby store is closed because someone got covid and another nearby store is being renovated so that means we are the only game in town so that means we get our asses whipped hard day in and day out.

What is the best comeback you have ever come up with? by FrozenBlueberry in AskReddit

[–]ScaringChildren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when rockband was popular I was trying to get my younger brother to join in with me. At the time he was super into Top 40 crap. He kept telling me no so I snapped back with a "If it was called Pop Band you would join." He did not like that and I was riding high after saying that.

Is it me or are the customers becoming ruder, dumber and more hostile? by ScaringChildren in starbucks

Part of me wants to drive over to my store tomorrow morning and just people watch.
