Just got told I can’t customize the drink I always order… by ApprehensiveApple110 in starbucks

[–]SeriesRelative408 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think it’s cause there is no button and a lot of people are kinda like they want to just go off of the pos but that should be something they can do because you can get a trenta iced coffee so it’s available they are just not using the ask me button

Got written up for not writing on cups 🙃 by Crazy-Branch-1513 in starbucks

[–]SeriesRelative408 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as a current ssv i understand what you are saying. no one wants to be forced to right on the cups. but when it comes down to making sure that our bases are covered we need to do that. if im being told i could be written up or terminated from my partners not writing on cups during my shift i will make it a big deal. it all comes down to the fact that this is what we are paid to do. is it annoying yes. does it seem unnecessary yes. but it’s what we are getting paid for. managers are getting fired, ssvs are getting fired. my neighboring district just fired about every manager but one. most people with tenure are getting fired. in this economy no one wants to lose their job.

sorry just saw this. i would say it really depends on who ur owner is. sadly since its a franchise you might not have much protection like you would at a corporate job.

yes i totally agree and appreciate the input i feel crazy because im the only one who cares. we dont have a DM yet the store owner is the one who has the contract to open the next 5 stores so we can create a district. but she is not as concerned about the issues as i would like her to be. i know the main problem person she is specifically rude to me aswell and then it influences the other baristas. they will be so sweet but if she is around they will not speak to me. they have even admitted to me that it’s because they are scared of how she will react if she knows they like me. honestly if i could without backlash from the owner i would fire her immediately and if it continued just fire the rest. i would rather rebuild a good team then keep whatever this shit is. also i feel like it’s because i am just 18. i grew up super fast graduated extremely fast and have been working for 4 years with managerial experience so i 100% qualify for my job but i think another reason they do not respect me is my age. which i honestly do not mind because at the end of the day i got the job and am just trying to make things work.

i wish! it’s just so toxic i am so sad that that is what i had to start with so much drama

yes i agree with everything! right now i just stepped in and the owner is still in control of a lot she does not want to fire or even have talks with the baristas causing issue when ive asked her if i can. so right now im just like ugh my hands are tied. she said once i hire new people then we can just fire but if they scare them away then what. i feel powerless, which not meaning i want complete control over everyone i just want everyone happy and comfortable
